Good Morning! It's been a couple of days, I apologize!  The week has been absolutely hectic and I haven't had the chance to enjoy the smaller things in life...
 The three albums that have been in constant rotation include:

• Know Better. Learn Faster. - Thao and the Get Down Stay Down
•  Rubber Factory - The Black Keys
• Album - Girls
  All three come with completely different sounds and feel.  Know Better. Learn Faster. is the latest release from Thao and her husky voice and catchy songs are listenable and apparently about "sad sex."  I'll let you guys listen and explore for yourselves.  I simply recommend the Black Keys because the mixture of pure rock, garage, and blues is the perfect soundtrack to your day driving around, doing whatever the fuck you want, all while having a cigarette dangle from your lips (if that's a habit of your's, insert any appropriate action if not...) The last album was released earlier this month from San Francisco up-and-comers Girls.  Fronted by the enigmatic and approachable Christopher Owens, Album features a lot of songs about the namesake of the band.  With the names of possible lovers or friends, Owens' voice is a breath of fresh air as it hiccups and croons about lost opportunities or whatever hopes he can attain.  The sound is perfect for a day on the West Coast, with surfer rockabilly undertones.  And if you haven't learned about Owens' background, definitely do explore any more articles about him, oh what a life he's had....
  

My attempt at album reviews: mediocre.  But DO, give these bands a shot.  Open up the gates and let the new sounds in.

that's all that i really have for now.  I'm sorry, this is a short and quick update.  But more to come!  have a lovely weekend, week, and life. take care and always love!
