Come, journey with me...stop motion video for Ödland

Anyone who, like me at the moment, is feeling a little lost under an ever-growing mound of deadlines, duties and drudgery (oh, the deadly Ds), will appreciate this stop motion video directed by Vincent Pianina and Lorenzo Papace for the band Ödland. Pack your bags - whether to buoy away by sea or chuff chuff on the night train, floating away on a three-minute fanciful voyage seems just the ticket for putting work and worry back in its place.

That's what's up

I don't usually blog music, but this new track from Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros is just so good that it begged me for a quick post. Exuberant, quirky, and supremely charming, this folk-country-indie song will have you bopping and slapping your knee like there are daisies raining from the skies. Click 'Read More' to have a listen.
