How about something a little fun and funky for your Friday? Check out "Animal" the latest from Liverpool indie pop outfit All We Are. They've got a sort of Bee Gees meets Glass Animals thing going on and it's great. Their new album "Sunny Hills" is available 9th June 2017.
The video is pretty classic as well.

Unlike the sun that shines through a crimson sky
I have built these walls so you can't get by
And it's all right, tonight; tonight, it's all right
This past weekend, while at Boston Calling, I heard "Freetime" from Kenna's spectacular 2003 album New Sacred Cow. It really brought me back. In 2003 I was just getting into blogging and, as part of a few regular series I was doing, I posted a review of "I'm Gone" off New Sacred Cow and I made a note to look that up. It's kind of broken, but you can see it here. Pretty cool that Kenna left a comment! Ah, I miss those old days when blogging was just a bunch of nerds with personal sites. I gave New Sacred Cow a listen yesterday and it still holds up. Good stuff, enjoy.

And I said Sir
Well have you heard
That this country is un-equal still?
History continues itself
Continues itself
History
Continues itself
And I did not create the rules
From all I've heard
And all I've seen
This place has broken
My American heart
From all I've heard
And all I've seen
This place has broken
My American heart
We spent the weekend in Boston and it was great. Rainy and colder that we'd have liked, but what can you do? We saw a Red Sox game, checked out Harvard, had some lobster and chowder and met some nice folks. We also spent one of our days at Boston Calling where we saw a few bands on our lists. For me, the highlight was a toss up between PUP and Wolf Parade and I think Kerri's favorite was Weezer, despite my being super annoyed with them. Sorry!
I also got to see Piebald, who I'd seen once before, a long, long time ago, and really enjoyed. They were a lot of fun and I figured I'd get them up here as a Most Important thank you song to Boston for a fun weekend.
