Mother. Mother.
I posted about this band before I left but forgot to include their most recent album on my Ipod so I am just realizing now how amazing the album is. Here are my favorite tracks:

On Repeat.
I cannot get enough of 'Broken Bells', a new indie-rock band created by Danger Mouse and James Mercer (lead vocalist & guitarist for the band The Shins). You can definitely hear Mercer's influence on this album, it sounds like a mash up of The Shins, Modest Mouse and Spoon. I couldn't have possibly chosen my favorite track off this album because they are all magic. Here are the singles "The High Road" and "The Ghost Inside." Enjoy!

Well Hang.
My new favorite instrument, the Hang. Apparently the Hang's sound is as rare as the instrument itself. Invented by a genius Swiss couple -Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer - they're only willing to make a handful of these instruments every year to order through their company (Panart) and are selling for around 1800 euros, which is around 2350 Canadian dollars. Through my brief research I discovered the Swiss couple haven't patented the Hang yet and it looks as though some companies have caught onto its popularity and are in the process of re-creating knock off Hang Drums. Good news for those of you seriously considering purchasing one, bad news for the inventors. Lets hope they can hang onto their reputation as the inventors & creators of this amazing instrument. Enjoy:

Vagabond.
On that trip I learnt something very important. Escape through travel works. Almost from the moment I boarded my flight, life in England became meaningless. Seat-belt signs lit up, problems switched off. Broken armrests took precedence over broken hearts. By the time the plane was airborne I'd forgotten England even existed.
