If you like your music with an undercurrent of social justice initiative, put a little Ode to Sunshine in your rainy January day and give Delta Spirit a listen. They also give a high-spirited live performance and will be coming to Dallas at the end of February.

The avant-garde pick of the week: Animal Collective
They’ve been around since 2000, but I recently found out about them in my NG Adventure Magazine. I’ll have to get them on the Ipod for my next adventure, then.
They have a brand new album out today, and I like their single, “My Girls”.
They sing:
“I don’t care for fancy things
Or to take part in a vicious race
And children cry for the one who has
A real big heart and a father’s grace.”
The song make me think of a few things:
1. Of how we should pray and be thankful for our daily bread/provision.
2. Of Ecclesiastes and how we cannot be satisfied by things “under the sun”.
3. Of how sweet and sufficient God’s grace is.
Animal Collective: My Girls
This next one is from an older album, but I think this particular song would be something Rebecca and I would come up with, especially the last 15 seconds (given the right talent and musical instruments, of course).
Animal Collective: Leaf House
