check out the why? frontman yoni wolf doing some solo piano versions of a few songs off eskimo snow and a bob dylan cover here. plus they’re free to download, so even better.

so the story behind this is that vic chessnut committed suicide christmas day. he was 45 and had been in a wheelchair since he was 18. with the healthcare system the way it is, he was massively in debt, was going to lose his house, and he simply was unable to get a kidney surgery that he desperately needed. apparently he thought this was the only way out. fuck you america, fuck you very much.

so apparently seabear is putting out a new album next year. check out two songs here. ‘cold summer’ is my favorite of the two.
also, the new los campesinos! album, romance is boring, should be amazing. and i know this because i haven’t downloaded the album leak and been listening to it obsessively. i swear!!!

and a few other little nuggets for those with about as much holiday spirit as myself (i.e. if we were talking the kelvin scale, it’d be absolute zero):
