Kiev - Loot Recovered (Video and Download)

Kiev was described to me as, "If Radiohead was from Orange County and a Jam Band..." That is actually a very accurate of the quintet's music and vibe. These five have been playing together for years but finally have made their mark with the release of the EP, "Ain't No Scary Folks In On Around Here." It randomly got into my hands and I am not letting go of this one. I linked to a free download of their track "Crooked Strings" if you want to check them out. In the mean time enjoy them live...

Gruff Rhys "Shark Ridden Waters" (video)

Not a huge fan of either Super Furry Animals or Neon Neon but I love this track. Maybe its time I re-evaluate my feelings on SFA & NO Front Man Gruff Rhys also. I will be lining up to buy the solo album when it gets released in February 2011...
