I remember checking this band out a few years ago and sort of liking but but not enough to really care. I’ve listened to this track 8 times in a row now. I think it’ll stick this time. 

This is one of those bands someone suggested, I checked out, then totally forgot about for 6 months. I’m into this today, but I’m sure I’ll forget about them again.

But I’ll probably be into this song in 6 months when I rediscover this band again.

You can download all of their music (all 5 songs) for free at senders.bandcamp.com.

This song is from the band’s great Nervous Energies set. Normally, this song is played on keys rather than guitar; the keys version (the regular version) can be found on their album “Their Dreams Are Dead, But Ours Is The Golden Ghost.”

I am currently engaged in a campaign to completely overplay and thus ruin this song/band for myself.

Three things really make this song: the accordion, xylophone, and Laura Stevenson’s voice. I do really like this song, but I can’t get through the entire album. Everything isn’t as good as The Healthy One.

I wanted to post this song months ago, but I couldn’t find a single picture of this band playing live.

You can download the EP this song is from, as well as two others, at itlikestoparty.com.

I discovered this band about 3 hours ago, but I can’t stop listening to it. You can download the album for whatever price you want (including free) at their Bandcamp page. 

I have no idea how just this one Black Heart Precession song ended up on my computer, but it's killing me lately. I need to download the rest of the album.

Sleeping Village is a year old today. In that year:

I changed the site name from Jackass Operation to Sleeping Village.

There were 227 posts, well short of a song a day.

It only has 30 Tumblr followers.

The two most reblogged posts were, Botch “To Our Friends In The Great White North” (89) and Snowing “So I Shotgunned A Beer And Went Back To Bed” (69). The Snowing one just came out of no where. Like a month after it was posted it just blew up. It’ll probably be in the 70s by the end of this week.

Seven bands had more than one song posted; Small Brown Bike, Bruce Springsteen, Isis, Suicide Machines, Frank Turner, Coalesce and The Gaslight Anthem.

No band had more than two songs posted.

Things I’ve learned about Tumblr: 

• Yes, it is down again.
• People only like animated gifs.
• Nearly everyone on Tumblr is 17 and thinks loud, shitty tiled backgrounds are awesome.
• Tumblr search sucks.
• Honestly, it sucks really bad, how can you not find the post I just made?
• Having a backup Posterous account is a must .
