Lovely are the weekends when you wake up in bed (with a leftover mustache) next to your best friend, gather the troops, and stroll down the street for a delicious sausage egg and cheddar on a croissant over the paper and breakfast laughing-banter. Throw around some jokes. Maybe do a little sidewalk chalk, some stick-on pirate tattoos. Tune the guitar. Slap some keys on the piano. Nap. Wake up to watch some World Cup, shoot the shit, and tap the rest of the keg with the neighbors.
Here are some happy tunes, suggested by Frances. The band: The Devil Makes Three. Very soulful and smooth, The Devil Makes Three is a blend of bluegrass, old time music, country, folk, blues, ragtime, and rockabilly. Difficult to classify but certainly not difficult to listen to.

This band, Mumford and Sons, I have recently stumbled upon and am quickly falling in love. This is my favorite song thus far: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLJf9qJHR3E
ReplyDeleteKay this iS catchy! I love it. Made me realize I hadn't listened to a solid accoustic in a while, so refreshing.
ReplyDeleteAnd Jon this Mumford and Sons is awesome-- I'll definitely be researching more of them at work today. Southern rock right?
Yup, I'm listening to Southern rock like it's my job. Here is another great band called Blitzen Trapper:
