Big Fun


Do you remember the Strokes? So many of their members are coming out with side projects right now and some of them are actually really, really good. Little Joy is composed of, among others, the Strokes drummer Fabrizio Moretti. Splitting time between male and female vocals, Little Joy is a happy jaunt through some eclectic countryside in a fairytale spring. The songs are short and sweet and come off as a less pretentious Vampire Weekend. The music varies from the delicate to the jaunty and is a confluence of sunny caribbean guitars and whispy vocals. Great stuff for an afternoon listen, whether its snowing, raining or sunning outside.

Holy crap, look at that picture. Its Harry Haggis the mascot for the Edinburgh Marathon! Does anyone remember the conversation about haggis in the movie So I Married an Axe Murderer? Classic
