Lemonade

A handsome dude sent me a link to some live performances by super-weirdos, CocoRosie. Lemonade is my favorite song from their most recent album, Grey Oceans and this live version is amazing. Like the Grimes video I just posted, it's filmed for the Seattle radio station, KEXP, which I'm quickly discovering showcases amazing music and videos. (Why can't KX96 be like that? Guess we're stuck to listening to a rotation of the Spin Doctors, Pearl Jam, Nickelback and Foreigner)

I can't listen to CocoRosie all the time, they definitely have a time and a place and you probably don't wanna throw them on in front of friends you don't know very well, (I'm glad I have my weirdo friends Sara and Meghan to listen to them with!) but their live performances are awesome! This version of "Lemonade" is heavier on the keyboards than the album version, which sounds great when the opera-ey sister (not the weird moustached baby-voice sister) sings over them. You also get to see how they make all their sounds, they use kid toys, tiny drum pads and little bells, and on the KEXP video of "Fairy Paradise" they have oboes (probably, I don't know ma instruments, maybe it's a trumpet) harps, and a beat boxer!


LETS GET WEIRD!
