Loud and clear

This is getting a bit of airplay around here, thanks to it foot stomping, hand clapping, full body twirling beats.

Also, J. no longer thinks any variation of 'fuck it up' or 'fuck them all' (see lyrics to Green Day's 'Minority', for example) is saying 'buckle up' or 'buckle all'. Which is actually a relief, because while I didn't want to go out of my way to correct his mondegreen last year, I didn't want it to seem like it was a word that was taboo; I'd prefer him to know it, and know what it means (in various contexts, in a way he can comprehend) and for him to understand when and at what age it's appropriate for him to use it personally. So that's what we did, we treated like any other word that he doesn't know: we looked it up online on Merriam-Webster and read the definition and talked a little about those and when he can use it, if needed (he is actually very good with understanding the concept of age appropriateness) and that was that. Interest satisfied, moving on to the next thing.

So these guys are part of the same musical wave that produced Laura Marling and Noah and The Whale and they've collaborated with them. Which explains why I like them, since my affection for both of those (especially Laure Marling) is pretty well documented here.

I'm including both the official video and also J's favorite live version. He really digs the accordion.
