Music Saturday




I know it has been a while and I apologize my little net surfers. I have dubbed today Music Saturday. Wanted to share a few good songs that you may or may not enjoy. Either way, here we go. First is a personal favorite of mine: Nico Vega. Nico Vega is an American rock band from Los Angeles, California, formed in 2005. The band consists of lead singer Aja Volkman, guitarist Rich Koehler and drummer Dan Epand. I must admit that both Draku and I have a bit of a crush on Aja. Her vocal style has been compared to that of Karen O, Joan Jett and Janis Joplin. I had the privilege of seeing them live in concert back in April and I have to tell you that they put on one hell of a show. If you get the chance to go to one, you must!

Second we have a video of a band that is very new to me. Found this song thru a Nico Vega Facebook post and got hooked for some reason. Here's what I could find out about them: CocoRosie is a musical group formed in 2003 by sisters Bianca "Coco" and Sierra "Rosie" Casady. The sisters were born and raised in the United States, but formed the band in Paris after meeting for the first time in years. Their music has been called "freak folk", and incorporates elements of pop, blues, opera, electronica, and hip hop.

Check them out and don't forget to let me know what you think. Or suggest some songs of your own!!!

It was Cinco de Mayo
Pillow case on his head
No more breathing time
An ambulance sped
It sped round every corner
Calling out his name

Shot a rabbit from the back seat window
Sat and watched in the summer corn row
Ate icecream in a desert dream
Got love in father seeing you
Too hot inside to hot outside
Lazy days when you said just go for a ride
We'll sail on Spirit Lake,
Me, my pappy, and his lemonade

Tim and tina were my parents' names
They got engaged they were inflamed
Seduced by the lie of butterflies
How they shimmer, how they glimmer
Those butterflies

We seven kids, we almost died
Nearly put to death
But lightning strike
Instead there was hot pink
Flashes in the sky
We climb the rocks in snowing rain
In search of magic power

To heal our mother's pain

Shot a rabbit from the back seat window
Sat and watched in the summer corn row
Ate icecream in a desert dream
Got love in father seeing you
Too hot inside to hot outside
Lazy days when you said just go for a ride
We'll sail on Spirit Lake,
Me, my pappy, and his lemonade
