New Stuff, New Stuff, Yeah!

Umm, it'll help a lot if you read the title of today's post with an excited sort of jingle. Today I have some serious gems for you!

"The One Difference Between Tattoos and Scars is the Pretty Colors" by James Wilson Howard

I'm really hoping this video player doesn't backfire on me, but I'm going to assume if I don't receive any messages, it works. James is a recent (but close) friend of mine, and I'm in awe of this guy's musical abilities. He's so handy with a guitar, and you'd never guess that the man is seriously into screamo. This song I've been wanting to upload for so long but couldn't decide how I wanted to do it. I decided to just upload a quick video of my own since this mp3 soo incredibly rare. His recorded stuff, Pacific Coast Eulogy, can't be found on the internet, so if you're interested in more of this, send me an email at heycococapp@gmail.com!

"Pillow Talk" by Wild Child

How fantastic is this song?! Lets start with the totally not obnoxious use of the ukulele. It gives the song an uplifting vibe despite the rather dismal subject. This song walks a fine line between a love song and a wistful breakup song, helped along particularly by Kelsey Wilson's vintage-sounding vocals. Expect more Wild Child in the future.

"No Nostalgia" by AgesandAges

Feel-good song of the week. Usually I'd say that harmony in nearly every line is a no go because it gets so chaotic, but somehow this song pulls it off. And it makes the unity around 2:39 that much more striking. Feel free to disagree, but somehow it feels like AgesandAges captures the feeling of youth here; it's exuberant and bright and sort of raw.

Have a lovely day, dear listeners!
