Con los primeros rayos de sol parece que la única banda sonora que puedan acompañarlos sea esta. The Young Friends suenan a playa y como tantos otros en su estilo suenan jóvenes, frescos, descarados. Y si no check this out! Si te quedas con ganas de mas!

Back in Vancouver for a few days now. I have almost recovered. Slept for 12hours last night. Think i'm getting sick. I miss Austin, drinking all day, sleeping little and most of all "being shitty" which we decided the upside down peace sign is the international symbol for. Spread the good word. Apologies to anyone who wasn't at SXSW that I pissed off with my drunk tweets . Thank god, I had my camera and my twitter account or I would have no idea what happened. Without further adoo-doo. [...]
If you missed yesterday's post then I suggest you scroll down and have a read/listen. As a follow up, I continue to work my way through the lists and bring you some of my favourite songs being posted by the people over at Rollo & Grady . Free mp3: Boy & Bear – Mexican Mavis Free mp3: Portugal. the Man – Children Free mp3: We Are Country Mice - [...]

Listening to The Young Friends is like bathing in the fountain of youth inside of an endless summer. Andrew McKee and Brant Stuns met on Myspace and played in a few bands in Arizona before deciding to make surf rock after a trip to the beach inspired them. Jacob Graham of The Drums heard them on Myspace and decided to release some tracks on his experimental record label Holiday Records . Basically he finds unknown artists and releases a single or an EP every friday via their [...]

Check out my photos of Surfer Blood and The Drums at the Music Box over at Stereogum .

Date 9/25/10 Location The ND Doors 9pm Tickets $12 @ Frontgate So one of the more hyped bands in the indie world today The Drums are finally making their highly anticipated stop into Austin at The ND on Saturday night. Joining the surfing good time boys are Young Friends straight out of [...]
O álbum dos The Drums foi uma decepção? Pondo alguns temas de lado, concordo perfeitamente, sobretudo com as expectativas geradas pelo lançamento do EP 'Summertime!' em 2009. Hoje em dia, nada mais fácil que remediar a questão, pondo em destaque um outro grupo que tem andado por aí a tapar o vazio que os The Drums deixaram naqueles temas mais pop-50s-melódicos-cheiro a mar pelo seu homónimo

So, it's Wednesday again, and here's yet another change of concept: Four weeks ago, I introduced my dear readers to The Fallout , a series of mixes that were intended to cover bands/songs that I didn't post about, for whatever reason. Now, while I'm gonna stick with that basic idea, I thought if NFOP features tunes that other beloved blogs posted before, then I might as well mention them and pay tribute to the amazing discoveries these devoted folks make every day. Because above anything else, I'm still simply - a fan. So, the tracks you find below have [...]
There's this tendency in modern music to have a glut of bands with similar sounding names; recently there have been a rash of bands with 'Wolf' and 'Panda' in their names; the newest crazes seem to revolve around 'Twin' and 'Young.' I'm not sure why this happens; maybe A & R reps are trained to [...]
Download the sensational reinterpretation at bottom. Watch 'Forever & Ever Amen' here. Earlier this month, The Drums dropped by Daytrotter. MP3: The Drums - Forever & Ever Amen (Young Friends Mix)

The Young Friends - Downtown

J'avais déjà enfilé mes patins une première fois, souvenez-vous de la vidéo de Sleep Tight ... A nouveau Andrew McKee (membre de The Young Friends ) et son projet Rollerskaters me donne envie de dévaler les pentes de la ville à toute vitesse. Slalomant entre les passants, bousculant les convenances... [MP3] Rollerskaters - Downtown Share This

J'avais déjà enfilé mes patins une première fois avec Rollerskaters, souvenez-vous de la vidéo de Sleep Tight ... A nouveau Andrew McKee aussi membre de The Young Friends me donne envie de dévaler les pentes de la ville à toute vitesse. Slalomant entre les passants, bousculant les convenances... Qu'il est bon d'être jeunes, d'avoir des amis. De suivre The Young Friends ! [MP3] The Young Friends - Downtown Share This
![[WEEKLIES] In Reality and In Dreams Weekly {Remix} Playlist](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2609716_lg.jpg)
Photo Courtesy Check her work, it's really good! This playlist is created with credits to ISO50 blog. I renamed the playlist from There Will Be Echoes to In Reality and In Dreams because I think some if not most of the remixes have an underlying dreamy and a slight romantic feel despite the upbeat party mood. The tracks are related to the Moodgadget label, and has reached about almost a thousand downloads since the 4th of June 2010, so I think it's [...]
[ download ] [tweetmeme] There is something wondrous about discovering singers who have a unique voice-give me a David Berman or Hayden Thorpe over a thousand Kelly Clarksons any day. Andrew McKee of The Young Friends sounds as though he is trying, with great difficulty, to wrap his mouth around every word which issues from his lips, effectively eating his consonants and howling his vowels. What may not sound pretty on paper is arresting in practice: the sound of a distinctive voice made perfect by its inperfections. [...]

Whoo it's hot, huh? And barely June. Despite my hopes at not having to make any of this year's covers myself, here we are with a patented B.Pearis Type-Over-Photo school of design. (The font, if you're curious is a Peter Saville original, created for the 1981 – Factus 8 – 1982 compilation EP.) I actually kind of like this one, though. The photo is from the Library of Congress' Flickr. It was taken at a square dance in Oklahoma around 1939. No one in this photograph was dancing to The Drums, The B-52's or Air Miami, but [...]
