These kids are making quite the splash in the pop scene. They also happen to be from my new hometown.

September 28, 2013: Sleepless Kids
Skim's birthday sleepover was last night. Last year we found the girls to be awake at 2:30am. Hopefully this year they're a little more sensible.

Friday Music Day: September 27, 2013
1. Ha Ha Tonka has a new album out, which in a major stylistic shift does not feature alliteration in the title. Which is Lessons. I've completely dug the four tracks that were made available on different services before the release, but it's almost like those were the singles, as the other ten tracks are subtler and I just haven't been able to give them my full attention yet. The band is now on tour and you should go see them as they have never disappointed live and I've seen them 13 times now. (I got a complimentary beer coozie at my 12th show.)
Minneapolis: Oct 23, 7th Street Entry. I can buy you a ticket if you want.
Chicago: Nov 30, Lincoln Hall.
No dates for Madison or Buffalo or anywhere else that I know for sure where interested WGOMers may be situated. Check their site for more details.
2. Axel Wilner is about to release his fourth album as The Field, which in a major stylistic shift has a blackish album cover. You can listen to the whole thing here. I'm about halfway in as I type this and it seems... similar.
3. OK, now you can share your random ten list below or talk about other music things or whatever.
4. I typed this on Thursday around noon. If I think of anything else, I'll use more numbers.
September 27, 2013: Upside of the Downside
One of our cars is out of commission, so my mother-in-law has been picking up my daughters to take them on the long drive to school. Pajamas all morning FTW.

Foxygen – Make It Known
on bootsy's recommendation i picked up their "debut" album. holy balls, these kids are crazy and amazing.

seriously though, i've been listening to this album the past couple weeks, and i love it more each time. there's definitely a lot of wholesale lifting going on, but it's all done with a wink and a nod, and mashed together in this awesome, unholy amalgam.
