These songs are a great way to kick off the week.  I find them to be equal parts soothing and upbeat.  Thanks Allie for introducing me to Pupkulies & Rebecca.

These kids are amazing! I thought I’d share since I posted about Gotye just yesterday…

PS. Thanks Pati for sharing!

In case you still don’t know, Gotye is a Belgian-Australian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumental musician.  His songs have an edge, and I specially enjoy his very original videos.

Also part of the Lolla line up, Sigur Ros is an Icelandic band known for its etherial sound.  The band sings in Hopelandic, a made up language based on rythms and sounds, but no actual meaning. I think you’ll find a really soothing quality to these songs. It was tough to pick favorites…

I first listened to Blind Pilot at Lollapalooza a few years back. I was actually walking past their performance on my way to another stage and I ended up staying until the end.  It was love at first listen, if you will.  Can’t tell you how excited I am to see them there again this August.
