Last week I went to see David Bazan play at The Turf Club. I’ve been listening to his music for a long time, but seeing him play live as Pedro the Lion a couple of times in the early 2000′s really cemented me as a life-long fan. His religious fall-out since that time makes him all the more fascinating to me, so I was really glad I got to see him play again. (I’m a religious doubter/skeptic. Maybe I’ll write about that another day.)

Before David’s amazing set, I really enjoyed being introduced to Wye Oak, a Baltimore, MD duo. When I’m hearing something for the first time, and it’s really good, it can be intoxicating. I feel flushed and my heart beats louder in my chest. My eyes open wider, as if I can somehow absorb more of the experience that way. I probably look like I’m about to have a heart attack or something, heh.

Here’s a taste for you. I wish it lived up to the live show, but alas…
