• The Kids Are Alright

    It was my son’s 16th birthday yesterday and we surprised him by inviting his 3 best friends up to Camano Island for the weekend. They have been dialing up tunes all weekend on Rhapsody via our Sonos player and I hate to admit it but I’ve been schooled by a bunch of 15 year olds the last few days!

    Here are my favorites of the stuff they played that I was unfamiliar with:

    EDWARD SHARPE & THE MAGNETIC ZEROS

    Portugal The Man “People Say” acoustic from Portugal The Man on Vimeo.

    My friend and co-conspirator on the ND Festival had tried to book the Tallest Man on Earth for the festival but I’d not heard much about him so was surprised when the kids were playing him today. It sounded great.
