Let's start off 2017 with a little fun (and some more frequent posting!) with a number from Buffalo's Lemuria. It's a bit different for them, with more of an upbeat pop sound, but, fuck it, I like it. If it rubs you the wrong way, don't worry, the rest of their latest album, Recreational Hate, should be more up your alley. Tracks like "Sliver of Change" and "Christine Perfect" are fantastic and should scratch that itch for you.

I walk into an empty room
I thought there’d be at least balloons
Girl looks at me, says “Who the hell is she?”
I think I’m having trouble adjusting
Winner, winner, chicken dinner! That's kind of how I felt on my first listen to today's Most Important. Miya Folick mixes rock and pop with a honed edge that hooked me immediately. Her new EP, Give It To Me, which came out early last month, is stellar and worth a full listen through at the very least. I'm hoping she comes to town soon, would love to see her perform live.

Sad hopes I'd hidden under
Tangled inside of me
You spoke like broken thunder
Deep into the center of me.
I couldn't say what I was thinking my
Heart shrinking, two sad sparks blinking in the sun
Wait one minute I
Had to listen for it
It was hidden in the fall
Hidden in the fall
Waiting on love to call
Hidden in the fall
I hear it call in the center of it all
You're the love of my life, the love of my life
I have Sirius Radio back for a while and of course that brings my attention to random, forgotten (or new) alternative hits. This one from 2014 sounded new to me! Sorry for the lack of love & attention to our Most Important blog but our real life has gotten a bit busy. In mostly good ways! Anyway, sending this spark of dancy, happy love out to our followers and my partner.
