music #2

stuff i've been listening to lately: a lot of 'hurray for the riff raff'. it's a cool little band, i think it's a singer and a guitarist and rotating other members? i'm not sure, but i do know i've been listening to 'i know it's wrong (but that's alright)' and 'hungry ghost' on repeat. i first listened to them when i was listening to a podcast called 'welcome to nightvale'; in every episode, they feature a song from starting musicians. i heard 'little black star' and i don't know why i loved it so much. it makes me remember some time i spent in florida, in a small town where everyone knew each other and gators definitely lurked around. the band's newer songs are just as good, something i don't say often. the style of music you may connect to small towns and conservative thinking contrasts to lyrics that aren't about trucks and tractors, but about puerto rico and murder. it's a fun ride. the first song i mentioned is the most upbeat, the second one is about self discovery, the third about swamps and jesus (not in the way you think). i'm a fan, i don't know about you.
