We brought you the original just a few weeks ago when the Two Door Cinema Club had supported them on their Facebook page. Kowalski had actually been TDCC's supporting act during their UK tour and now TDCC is returning the favor by jumping on the band's hit and putting their own spin on it. The remix doesn't differ too much from the original but you can definitely sense a TDCC vibe with it. It's always a dance party with this band. You can get the single, along with the remix, on August 22nd (via Everybody's Stalking). [...]
7" Single, released in 1986 Great Outdoors - Bird In The Hand (A-Side) Great Outdoors - Great Romance (B-Side)
Everybody's Stalking posted this gem up a few days ago but I am just now receiving it due to Two Door Cinema Club having posted it on their Facebook page. Kowalski is a band from Northern Ireland with an indie pop sound similar to that of The Postal Service and Phoenix - per ES. The 'Outdoors' single is being released on Everybody's Stalking on August 22nd. Interesting note: Apparently, Paddy Baird, the drummer from Kowalski, is a brother of Kevin Baird from Two Door Cinema Club. Sweet.
We're doing a relaunching, of sorts, with our Buzzsessions. New logo, new title sequence, new sound equipment, and a much better final product. Our first Buzzsession of this kind comes with Canadian band Snowblink . Daniela Gesundheit and Dan Goldman took the ride up with me to Westchester, New York where we filmed beautiful renditions of songs found on their 2011 album Long Live . These versions of the songs, though similar to the studio recording in many ways, are vastly different in the affect that nature had [...]
Tweet The Great Outdoors - Click for Myspace Ambient Indie Soul. Sounds like: As Tall As Lions With a name such as that as "The Great Outdoors" you immediately think of well, the outdoors. Their music is quite the contrary as their name might suggest. They play well sophisticated ambient indie. Their rhythmic allures will surely keep you in the loop. Hipsters and music junkie's alike
I know, I know, I'm like 24hrs late with this post! My fault. I meant to put it up last night but I had a cookout and there was food, friends and a copious amount of liquor. Needless to say by the end of the night The Cool Kids were the last thing on my mind. But as they say, "better late than never." To make it up to you kids Imma throw in a couple of tagless joints off the mixtape. Yeah, I know the tags only show up at the end of the [...]
I'm not sure how many of you have gone ice climbing before, but if you haven't, the best way to describe it, at least the version done in the White Mountains, is cold and difficult. I'm sure those adjectives change as you get better, but it was my first time, so there you go. Cinema Gully (pictured above) is a somewhat easy four pitch climb on Mount Willard in Crawford Notch State Park. I say "somewhat easy" because I didn't lead a single pitch, and my animal of a college friend/guide, Mark - who [...]
The unusually warm weather conditions in New Hampshire this weekend made for a damn scary walk out to a friend's lakehouse on an island in the middle of Lake Winnipesaukee . More to come on all of this, but for now, a bunch of out of focus pictures seem to make more sense than anything I could possibly write. Youtube: The Hollies - Look Through Any Window
It's no surprise, with the economy in the pits, that a trip to one of our country's national parks would be a great alternative for a family vacation. The National Park Service announced Tuesday that 3.3 million people visited the world's first national park last year, up 7.5 percent from 2008 and almost 5 percent more than the previous record set in 2007. Park officials say Yellowstone's West Entrance is the busiest with more than 1.3 million visitors. (via ABC ) MP3: J Tillman - Year In The Kingdom
I'll meet you in the Organ Pipes All alone on a winter's night You'll say, "Come home." I'll stay. You won't. More photos and words about the trip to Southern Arizona coming tomorrow.
At 803, 418 acres, the Cabeza Prieta Wilderness is Arizona's largest Wilderness Area, encompassing nearly 93 percent of the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge . Designated by the Arizona Wilderness Act of 1990, Edward Abbey called the area "the best desert wilderness left in the USA" and Wilderness.net refers to it as "the most isolated, rugged, and pristine desert landscapes in the Southwest." Bordering Organ Pipe National Monument , the area is located just north of Sonora, Mexico and west of Ajo, in southwestern [...]
Since 1970, Audobon has managed the Constitution Marsh , a 270 acre tidal marsh (a type of marsh found along coasts and estuaries of which the flooding characteristics are determined by the tidal movement of the adjacent estuary, sea or ocean) on the east shore of the Hudson, just south of Cold Spring, NY .

Crater Lake is located in Southern Oregon on the crest of the Cascade Mountains . It lies inside a caldera (a large crater formed by volcanic explosion or by collapse of a volcanic cone) created when the 12,000 foot high Mount Mazama collapsed 7,700 years ago following a large eruption. The lake, supplied by an average of 533 inches of snow per year, is 1,943 feet deep, making it the deepest lake in the United States and the seventh deepest in the world. MP3: Liz Phair [...]

Allegheny National Forest covers 512,998 acres of Northwest Pennsylvania . Two hundred years ago the forest was mostly Eastern Hemlock and American Beech , but today the area is comprised mostly of black cherry , maple and other hardwoods . The disappearance of hemlock began in the 1850s when tanneries started using hemlock bark as their source for curing leather. The industry received a great boost [...]
