it's raining in my head today.






today's music is diverse, to say the least.
song of the day:
1.New Soul by Yael Naïm
this isn't the usual "you haven't heard of this" song. it actually isn't that new, but it has recently become popular due to its appearance on an Apple commercial (which always have good music!). yael naïm is a french/israeli with an adorable accent who sings in french, hebrew and english. this happens to be one of the english songs.
Yael Naim: New Soul
2. Merry Happy by Kate Nash
this is a wonderful "i'm over you" song. simply smashing. the piano is very simple but really very effective. also, if there are any flaws, her british accent makes it all better.
Kate Nash: Merry Happy
3. Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa by Vampire Weekend
vampire weekend is officially my new favorite band. no matter how grotesque the name sounds, they are actually quite mellow and pleasant sounding. the ivy-league band mixes all the sounds of their experiences in africa and india with the influence of their favorite music to create songs that are unique and different. plus, the lead singers' name is ezra. ezra! how awesome is that?
