Thao Love
Filed Under Album Picks
I am kind of not in the best of moods this evening…The kind of mood where you don’t really want to come near me because I just might snap. Don’t know why really…I think part of it is the weather in California right now, sunshine has the opposite effect on me than most. It has been like 75 degrees here the last week and there hasn’t been a cloud in the sky…It just pisses me off to look outside and see a brown layer of smog in the horizon…It isn’t pretty it is just gross and puts me in a foul mood. So I decided to just come home and throw on my headphones and zone out.
I am listening to the new album from singer songwriter, Thao Nguyen. We Brave Bee Stings and All is her second album and it is really a solid delight. A 11 track album filled with singer songwriter pop songs with a little bit of a folk undertone, good stuff indeed. And she does a lovely job of putting a smile on my face. :-)
A couple of my favorite tracks…
mp3:Â Beat (Health , Life, and Fire)

you beat me to it! :-)
it’s funny, the endless sunshine bugs me too. i am so ready to move away from southern california but am unfortunately tied down for at least a few years. but y’know, “the grass is always greener…”…right?
I like these a lot.
Here’s to some gray days in the future. We can invent a rain dance. We’ll call it the Precipitation Nation, it’ll be a 2step so everyone can do it.
Great tracks! Reminds me rhythmically of Modest Mouse…smog eh? I recall the time I visited Taiwan with my mom and stood atop a mountian looking over the quaint village of Fong-Yen and noticing the dense cloud of yellowish brownish smog covering the town below. Truly upsetting…
dude
