Egg Shake, Clap Clap Clap

On a perfect little tour: Roadside Graves, Rural Alberta Advantage and the strange folk of The Daredevil Christopher Wright. Like RRA and Roadside Graves, there's a distinct sense of loss in their music, or at least in this sad & Final Fantasy-like, asynchronous, recorder happy "The East Coast" - with a egg shake and a set of harmonies, they sing,

"The sun is setting on the bay and the wedding it's a lovely lovely ceremony"

And there's a recorder. Beat that, folk lovers.

Snare Drum Kicks the Door Open to Your Mind

A few years ago, Bruce Springsteen described Bob Dylan's snare drum smash opening to Highway 61 Revisited as "kicking the door open to your mind." Now, I'm not comparing the two here, but I sure thought of the quote when I saw this beautiful video from Bon Iver in front of a swooning Glastonbury audience. Thanks to Muzzle of Bees for posting this killer video.
