Music Monday: Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros – “Man On Fire (Little Daylight Remix)”

Okay, so we thought we were sick of these guys. I mean, once commercial radio got a hold of Home and overplayed every second of that catchy tune we nearly stopped listening to Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros.

However, ever since their new album, Here, dropped on May 29th we’ve become addicted all over again. Aside from Man on Fire, we’re loving the nostalgia in All Wash Out and That’s What’s Up definitely has a similar vibe that Home exuded. Let’s just hope Top 40 doesn’t get their paws on these new favorites.

Seriously? SRSLY.

Chances are if you’ve lived in a big city, you’ve had your fair share of “seriously?!” moments. When I first moved to San Francisco I told a lot of wild stories. My friends at home were appalled to hear of the man with a hole through his foot (often seen on Mission and 3rd), and could not fathom how I survive an hour and a half wait for brunch. But stories like those began to dwindle because the inevitable occurred; I became immune to crazy behavior, and sadly, somewhat nostalgic for it. Perhaps this is why SRSLY is so successful.

SF and the American Hipster

Hosted by Paavo Steinkamp, American Hipster “takes a hard look at pop culture while saving room to laugh at itself.” Hipsters are so much more than trendsetters, and these videos showcase the creative spirit of our country.

Paavo captured two of our favorite things in the Bay-music and coffee. Check out his videos on SF based music site Yours Truly and neighborhood coffee shop Four Barrel below:
