First Aid Kit was suggested to me just last night by a friend. They are a Swedish folk duo made up of Johanna and Klara, sisters aging just 19 and 22 years old. Their name first started shooting around the internet in 2008 when they posted this cover of Fleet Foxes’ “Tiger Mountain Pleasant Song.”
They have three albums out now. Their most recent, The Lion’s Roar, came out this January. Enjoy.

Yay! A song to share this week! M83 is a band that I am new to. I know I’ve heard their songs, mostly within the past year even though they’ve been around since 2001. When I say “they” I really mean “he.” M83 is the project of French artist Anthony Gonzalez. They’ve had 4 albums out, and I’m excited to listen to them all. Coolest thing I’ve learned about them? M83 was named after the spiral galaxy “Messier 83”. How nerdy and awesome is that?!
(This video is also pretty sweet.) Enjoy!

I, to this day, do not understand Laura Marling’s voice. How does that whiskey-molasses voice come from a creature so thin, young, and British? Well, it’s beautiful and wonderful and haunting, and I guess I’ll have to just leave it at that!
I discovered her through my local library’s astounding collection of CDs last winter. It was her 2010 release, I Speak Because I Can. Her newest release, A Creature I Don’t Know, came out this past September and is from what this video comes.
This music video .. ahhhh … I know it’s not autumn and we’re not depressed yet, but this video is so touching. It puts me in a very creative mood. I love what someone from YouTube commented, “I listened to this on the bus, and literally forgot where I was heading and why.”
This morning I made a playlist for a breakfast party I was hosting and I thought that I’d share it with you! 34 songs of pure goodness to help you ease into wakefulness. These are songs to drink your cup, do your crossword, and start your day. They start out a little mellow and graduate into sunny goodness as the time goes on. 146 minutes of delightful egg-making music sounds. I hope you enjoy it!
