Working Gal

I am sorry I haven't posted in a while, actually a while is an understatement, but this working thing is not that easy. In case you were wondering, or even if you weren't I am going to tell you anyways, I have been interning at MTV this summer. Sorry that's all the information you are going to get (creepers).

But, besides working I haven't really been doing much, just the usual ordinary stuff, playing tennis and listening to an obsessive amount of music. Besides the warm weather, the summer is the best time for new music. Is it just me or was music made for summer, or is it vice-versa?

So lets recap some of my new favorite summer music. The first band is called Sleigh Bells and the lead singer Alexis Krauss is actually a teacher on the side. Um...can you be my teacher, you seem pretty cool to me? Alexis' vocals paired with Derek E. Miller on guitar are totally unique. I don't even know who to compare the them to, which I think says it all. They are totally different, but if this helps M.I.A signed them to her label. Listening to their song Kids (one of my faves) and Tell 'Em just makes me think of being an undercover super hero who is acting like an ordinary person and walking down the city street. Maybe this image comes to my head because when I was listening to their album on repeat I was also reading the Graphic Novel, Y The Last Man. But who cares, they are awesome and their next album cover should totally be them as super heroes.

Another band that I have developed a new love for, although they have been around for a while and I just happen to be behind in the times is Portugal. The Man. I actually went to their free show at Governors Island and was blown away. I immediately proceeded to buy their albums and let me just say this they are better live. They are amazing and for those of you who have been kept in the dark like me you should stop what you are doing now and visit their myspace page.

That's all for now, but I will be back hopefully sooner than later.
