Tapes n Tapes – Le Ruse

posted May 12, 2008 in Jukebox / Music

Yes, this is now becoming somewhat of a music blog.  Note the fancy new jukebox category on the right.  I know what you’re thinking: “Great… more crap from this jerk!”. That’s kind of mean so I’ll pretend you didn’t say that.  I’ll be posting songs that I like — ones that I feel need to be heard and shared with you.  

I guess technically it’s illegal, but it’s usually songs from albums I’ve bought and hopefully by sharing it I’ll maybe convince somebody else to support these artists.

This is “Le Ruse” and it’s the lead off track from Walk It Off which happens to be the latest LP from a Minneapolis band called Tapes n Tapes. I’m going to see them tomorrow night, so I thought I’d share a song.

Longest Graffiti

Check out this insanely detailed graffiti that spans probably 200 metres of wall along a sidewalk.  Brilliant use of the space and a really creative concept.  Must have taken FOREVER to make.
