Here's a band I just thought about for the first time in a while — one of the more tasteful meldings of indie rock and non-Western sounds, though I guess I usually go for weirder efforts . This species of indie rock recalls the comfy propulsive drone of the American Analog Set. Which means that the hammer dulcimer doesn't really mesh with that DNA, but it least it doesn't clash.

Unter IT everywhere hat Paul the Win Guy seine Ideen für Wandmalereien zusammengetragen. Ich hätte gern so eines in meiner Strasse. Dann gäbe es immer was zum Schmunzeln, wenn ich das Haus verlasse oder nach verrichtetem Tagwerk nach Hause schlurfe. Schön wär das. Zum Beispiel eines von diesen dreien hier: [...]

Yes, it's true I am a moody bastard. Especially lately due to my current state of life where nothing seems to go right these days. It's hard to be positive when everything around you is negative.

I long for the days where I can have my life back, feel productive and be a part of the world again. Let the [...]
