There is something about a guitar ballad that gets me every time.  Here's the latest music mix as we jump to early September studies: 

1.     Swell Window – Zee Avi

2.     When they fight, they fight – Generationals

3.     You’re too Weird – Fruit Bats

4.     Rambling Man – Laura Marling

5.     Western bound – nikki lane

6.     Walkabout – Atlas sound

7.     Slumber – needtobreathe

8.     My body – young the giant

9.     Under cover of darkness – the strokes

10. Life is life – noah and the whale

11.  Ten-twenty-ten - generationals

Zee Avi's new album gets a shout out.  I appreciate her shadowy jazzy melodies with bits of flare for modern synthetic instrumentals and Pacific islander beats.  Music I can play  when I'm feeling more tropical than the weather. :)
