I just got home from work, and this tweet was staring at me when I logged in.
I got curious, since Austra is a name I recognised from some fantasy novels I absolutely loved.
The Stereogum post lead me to This tumblr post by Disco Naïveté and I was enthralled. I had to find more of this band. So I searched, and loved it even more.
If you have Spotify, click here to check them out.
I especially want to recommend “Lose It” and “Identity”.
As you can probably tell from the title of this post, I’m starting a new weekly “thing” on my blog. I called it #MusicFriday, and as you might have guessed, it’s a play on #musicmonday and #followfriday.
In case you are unfamiliar with these concepts, I’ll explain briefly. A hashtag is a searchable tag used on Twitter, and somehow these two hashtags grew into worldwide, weekly trends.
#MusicMonday is, as the name suggests, to promote music you like. #FollowFriday is for promoting the people you follow on Twitter.
With #MusicFriday, I plan to share some of the music I discover, and music I’ve loved for years.
If you want to suggest some music, you can leave a comment here, or my Twitter: @nannirk
So, as I’m sitting here, on a friday saturday night, with a glass of brown liquid in my hand, I have but one question for you.
Do YOU like ginger ale?

Mr Troll: “But it’s not friday, in fact, today is saturday!”
Well mr Troll, I totally made this mistake on purpose. Of course I didn’t REALLY think this was friday… What, you don’t believe me? It was intentional, I tell ya! Intentional!
