[I'm not quite sure what to make of this new track.](http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/blitzen-trapper-visit-old-memories-in-ever-loved-once-song-premiere-20130730) It's a mellow, well-written song that's consistent with Blitzen Trapper's past material but it doesn't quite make the connection that their previous hits did.<!-- excerpt -->

The production feels a bit light and monotonous but I don't think that's what feels off here. I'm curious to hear what the rest of the album sounds like but I'm not quite sure where to set my expectations for it.

The most recent entry in to the Santa Monica Pier's Twilight Concert series featured Bombino and Hanni El Khatib performing to a packed crowd on the pier that spilled out on to the beach.<!-- excerpt --> The weather and setting was picturesque, though Bombino's opening set was lackluster. I wasn't familiar with their music but it consisted of a jangly guitar melody, bouncy drum beat and slightly varied tempos.

Hanni El Khatib put on a strong, energetic performance (though the supporting guitarist/bassist were a bit dull). The sound was muddy but not overly hampered as the band ran through covers and tracks from both of his full length albums.

> Though the album itself won't see the light of day for weeks, the Seattle alt-folk, rock sextet has been testing out the new stuff on rapt audiences over the course of the past few months, letting the clap-happy "Shake" and the earnest build of "Another Story" sweep over curious audiences eager to hear what the band's been mulling over since "Lost In My Mind" became a playlist classic in 2011.
I cannot wait to get my hands on _Let's Be Still_ and finally see The Head and The Heart live.<!-- excerpt --> I've listened to their debut countless times since first discovering the band and, if "Shake" is any indication of the direction the band took on the new album, I will be doing doing the same as soon as _Let's Be Still_ is released.

> It sounds like Arcade Fire in the way that only Arcade Fire sound like Arcade Fire, you know? It's really fucking epic. Seriously.
It took me longer than it should have to get in to Arcade Fire but I have been absolutely hooked of late.<!-- excerpt --> This album should be genuinely incredible (especially given the band's track record and Murphy's involvement).

This is an extremely creative and well-executed move by Okkervil River to promote their new album, _The Silver Gymnasium_.<!-- excerpt --> The game is well developed and evokes immediate nostalgia if you've ever played any older, 8-bit video games.

I can't wait to get my hands on the new album and see the band at The Wiltern in October.

Music plays a central role in child rearing, both in the songs children are taught at home and in school and in those heard more informally as part of the home environment. The songs parents choose to listen to reflect their taste, their values, their era."

Great read via NPR.<!-- excerpt --> Music means a great deal to me personally and, the older I get, the more I keep going back to the music I listened to with my parents as a kid. There's nothing quite like re-exploring old songs and albums that helped shape and guide my taste in music to where it is now.
