sleepyhead

i dragged j to a passion pit show nearly two years ago...was it two years, j? i know you are reading and i love you for it. we went to see the french kicks and passion pit was opening for them. i think it was one of their first nyc shows. it was at bowery ballroom. they maybe had 5 songs to play...as in they had only produced 5 songs. there were maybe 50 people on the floor and j and i were just bouncing up and down. it was one of the happiest shows i have ever seen. it's making me giggle to even think about.

we went down to have a drink between bands and decided that passion pit had done it. we were happy and full of music. we didn't need to see french kicks and we just wandered a little together. i loved that night.

so, this is all relevant because i bought tickets to see passion pit on governor's island in june and then a sweet boy (man? i don't know...what is it that they liked to be called these days?) sent me passion pit covering cranberries "dream" this afternoon. it is so beautiful. unfortunately, i can't find a good version of it to post. so go and buy it! it's on itunes and it just released today along with acoustic versions of sleepyhead and moth's wings! gorgeosity!

here is sleepyhead. it was my favorite when i first started listening to them and now that i am older (tee, hee) this is a mellowed out version.

as you know by now, i am blogtarded and can't figure out how to post live links...please don't be offended by my use of blogtarded...k, thanks...just enjoy the music!
