More Magical Music Monday

If this is what her song book looks like, you know she's amazing.

Laura Marling

I just now looked her up and found out that she has adorable brown locks now, instead of her bizarre Bikini Kill circa 1990 bleached blonde haircut.
And she has a new album out!
And she toured with Mumford & Sons!
And I just love her.
Am I the only one that thinks she looks like Paul McCartney when she sings?

Magical Music Monday

Beach House

I saw Vampire Weekend Saturday night (which, hello, amazing) and Beach House opened for them. It got me thinking about what exactly makes one band magical and another simply awesome. Because while Vampire Weekend is one of my favorite bands, they're not exactly magical. Maybe it has to do with being ethereal. And slightly off your rocker. I don't know. Either way...they were one of the best live bands I've ever seen.
(And if you want a completely watered down version of what it's like to have been there when their black backdrop exploded into hundreds of sparkling lights reminiscent of stars --> BING)
