i sit and wait for everything i can find

the morning benders have done a new daytrotter session (an encore to the one they did last summer).



---> worth the fight (2.24.09 daytrotter session) <---
---> nothin' in this world can stop me worryin' about that girl (2.24.09 daytrotter session) <---
---> why don't they let us fall in love (7.16.09 daytrotter session) <---

i love this band. it was started by fellow uc berkeley alum chris chu a few years ago (go bears!). i remember seeing them play in a tiny little art gallery or something in the mission in early 2006. i liked them right away. in early 2008 my friend (and another cal alum) tim or - aka timothy rabbit - joined the band playing bass.



also new from the morning benders is the recently released grain of salt ep

you are oneiric, that word's a shy pick...

...it means you float around on clouds.


one of the things i love the most about living in the bay area is the local music scene. one of my favorites is timothy rabbit who was voted by the readers of the daily californian as the best local musician in both 2006 and 2007. i did a pretty fun interview with him two years ago. i can't seem to find the link to it, but there is still a link up to the article that went with it.



so i share with you two songs from his it's always snowing . . . in iceland ep and two from the yet to be released swim, fish, swim.

---> long distances <---
---> i spy... <---
