Keeping Time

I used to call this guy the timekeeper/traffic director. The rumor is that he lives in Washington Square Park. Its weird how everyone sees him almost everyday, but they just kinda ignore him...

CMJ (College Music Journal) started on Tuesday in NYC. Its fucking killing me//blowing my mind.
I wish I had remembered to email this person in my Major who could have gotten me a free ($400) CMJ pass. But I stupidly forgot and a lot of my friends remembered. So now I will have to pay in order to enter most CMJ events (but they often free or cheap).
I've already missed a lot of the best concerts/events, but there are still a few left for the weekend.

I am so going to this one:

*DJ Tao Lin?!? Carles???!???

I might go to this:

 

But I really wanna see Atlas Sound tomorrow at 4:30 pm:

John Cage is a hipster genius.

I saw Beirut last thursday at Terminal 5, it was amazing! They are so talented, and just awesome. 
The 2nd best part of the night (1st being Beirut/Zach Condon in his magnificence) was probably either making some new friends in line, or getting Halal gyros after the show. I am in love with Halal food trucks, I wish I didn't have to walk by them so often, the smell of them makes my mouth water. 
Have you seen the new-ish video for Santa-Fe? It made me sad because I love puppies...but I still enjoy it. Watch it below:



I also saw the FLEET FOXES last saturday! I saw them in Brooklyn at the Williamsburg Waterfront, which was beautiful at sunset. You could see Brooklyn Bridge and the landscape of Manhattan against the color-changing sky as the sun set. It was remarkable, as was the music of the Fleet Foxes; their voices/harmonies are so mellow and ghostly, in a great way. 


Below are some other new-ish music videos, by some chill-wave artists that are pretty cool:


I really love this Washed Out video: 
*So0o ChiLL Brah!
**but really, this video is great. Being carefree, finding love within the loneliness of the journey....I feel a deep connection with the character in the video (good acting/directing?), do you feel it too? 


Neon Indian - Polish girl:
*Neon Indian is really getting better/growing up--music-wise.


Explosions in the Sky - Be Comfortable Creature:




Avey Tare - Oliver Twist:


*its a bit disturbing, but its good animation and a great song. 


Best Coast - When I'm With You:

*BestyCoasty is goofy. But I am not gunna lie, I hate clowns--especially ronald mcdonald.

Wavves - Bug:

*lol, oh wavvves!
