Yeasayer Represent


White people are making the best music again. That's been the theme of the past half-year for me. Not like it's a competition, but there were some dark, dark days there for the white man.

Yeasayer - "Madder Red"









Yeasayer - "Grizelda"

That whole post might be the funniest thing I've read in a good long while. White boys are always at the forefront of music though. ALWAYS. But I suppose it's not always the kind of white boy music you love. Interesting.

I don't know about ALWAYS.

Miles, Timbaland, Coltrane, Pharell, Missy Elliott, Mingus, Monk, Bird, D'Angelo, James Brown, Prince, Hendrix, Kanye West, Dilla...

I mean, if we're strictly referring to soul - you win. But you have some very valid artist points and it would be difficult to argue.

I also wanted to say thanks, I sat with my husband for a long while last night browsing and listening to the music and made a list a million miles long of music we needed. I love when people are passionate about music - it's inspiring and awesome.

Well thanks for saying thanks! I get so little feedback on this blog. It's all about sharing the love so I'm glad some people are getting something out of it.

There's a "non-white" person in Yeasayer. Just a heads up. Bro.

Daniel said...

Thanks for the heads up bro!
