Frère De Song

I was introduced to Frère De Song this morning and I can't stop listening. He is incredible and I really think everyone should have a listen. I love the simplicity of the recordings and his melodic touch is unbelievable.

Words with Friends

Okay, I have become completely obsessed with the iPhone application Words with Friends. What a fantastic way to spend those waiting hours in airports, the ones that have free wi-fi that is, gaining a little word knowledge and challenging random people to a game of scrabble. Building vocabulary has never been so much fun! If there are any challengers out there with an iPhone and a little extra time, I would love to play you. My user name is *Michaelnasi.

Now, as this is a music blog, I have to highly recommend Nick Curran and the Lowlifes. From the instant you here that hard-rocking, piano swinging wonder stuff, I am sure that you will be hooked.

I also have to stress, again, my apologies for the lack of posts but, hopefully, it is explained by the photo below. Hope you are all well and there will be a lot more from P.P. once I get back to my home shores.

Speaking of homecoming shores, I am reading The Odyssey for the umpteenth time but it makes it so much more fun to read when you can stare at the island that Homer is speaking of. I highly recommend Kefalonia as a vacation spot if you are looking for one in the coming months. 

Paper Pistol Will be Down for a Few Days...

Due to sunny beaches, beer, and a severe lack of wireless access, we will not be writing many posts in the next couple of weeks. Time to go to the beach!

Myspace Bands - A Couple of Them from Croatia

There always seems to be some silly excuse for not writing for a couple of days on here. I don't have one but I did find something that interested me enough to write about. The music of Croatia.

I have been holed up  in a town called Vodnjan, Croatia for the last 2 months and for some reason I have just decided today to explore the local music scene. I was just looking for a band to see should any of them be on tour around this area. In my search, I found some incredibly great music and I thought I should share it with you here.

Here are a couple of bands that I feel definitely deserve mentioning:

1. PIPSCHIPS&VIDEOCLIPS
2. LEUT MAGNETIK
3. Aesqe 
4. svadbas
