Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros - 40 Day Dream
truth be told, i was avoiding edward sharpe & the magnetic zeros because they looked like hippies. and usually, hippies = jam band. and i don’t generally dig the jam stuff. but the other day i was watching some npr video podcasts and i thought, what the hell, ill give em a shot. BAM! fan! these guys look like they just have some serious fun playing these songs. when there’s that many people on stage, i always feel like it closes the gap a little between audience and performer. like it’s just one big party. when these folks come through my town next, count me in. sadly, you can’t really hear all of the instruments in this video but hopefully it will lead you into getting the album. it’s a good time.
