I've missed a lot of things apparently. After new Gossip, and then this. I need to update my singles library. But good news is, managed to listen to the upcoming Jack White's solo album. Thanks to my friend for bringing me to the listening party at his office. Jack did it again. Get it when it's out.
Oh btw, new album from The Shins is pretty good. Not as good as their previous work, just 'good'.

I figured I would start posting some playlists I've created on Spotify since most of the music I listen to is indie. These mixes will feature only the newest music. Just click on the link and Spotify will open and you will be brought to this playlist. The first one I'm posting is entitled Rest.

2000: The Emo - The proto-hipster's white belt and guyliner make for a soulful combination.
2001:The Emo Redux - The skulls on her tour-only Death Cab tee don't match the skulls on her Vans, so it's not like she's trying too hard.
2002: The Ashton - His PBR tucker hat and faux vintage t-shirt reveal an obsession with 'irony'.
2003: The Scenesters - A gaudy tattoo appears on her chest, and she is never spotted without her ipod.
2004: The Twee - He adores his rare-vinyl collection and tobacco pipe. Despite 20/20 vision, he wears Buddy Holly glasses.
2005: The Fauxhemian - She suffers for fashion, wearing a furry hat, boots, and keffiyah even during the warmest months. Her new wrist tattoo is the Japanese symbol for beauty - or at least that's what the guy at the tat shop told her.
2006: The Mountain Man - He seeks working-class authenticity, taking pride in his full beard and the fact that he's often mistaken for a homeless person.
2007: The Vintage Queen - She shops at retro boutiques and posts Holga photos on her blog. She has said that the koi fish cover-up tattoos on her arm symbolizes "nature and love and peace and stuff".
2008: The Williamsburg - He thoughtfully hangs shutter in the deep-V of his white tee, and he's often seen walking his fixed-gear bike around town while texting with his iPhone.
2009: The Meta-Nerd - By wearing the popular The Three Wold Moon T-shirt, 2009's hipster makes a mockery of herself. She has finally completed the full-sleeve tattoo.
A Canadian folk/acoustic artist with songs that come from the heart, irradiate warmth and peacefulness. I'll describe his music as the kind you'll play on a road-trip or chilling a quiet Sunday. He also does covers of many "songs he wishes he wrote", loves making music videos for his songs and it's very active in social media and very engaged with his fans.
