young talent

i'm looking forward to seeing lykke li play live in new york next week. so young... i really hope she doesn't turn out to be a one-hit wonder.


i've recently realized that most emerging bands and artists are much younger than i am. i remember being really surprised when i heard how young Beirut was, but lately everyone seems to be in their early-20s. of course it doesn't really bother me, but sometimes it does feel a bit strange, especially when i like them.

speaking of young artists, i can't help feeling a bit protective of vampire weekend, who are very cute. i want to tell them, "now now, boys, you should know that oxford commas are not entirely superfluous..."
