Remix: Bon Iver
For all of you Bon Iver fans, I have a remix of his song “Skinny Love” that I think you will be happy about. I really like this remix by Das Kapital because it makes the song a little more fun while still maintaining its chill nature. Enjoy!

Album Pick of the Week
Beach House- Teen Dream (2010) [[MORE]] There is something very simple about this group, yet they keep you wanting more. Victoria Legrand’s vocals are eerie yet seem to fit perfectly with the synth pop/indie style the band encapsulates. I didn’t even know it was a woman singing until I saw a video of them playing live. Teen Dream is not a fast paced album nor is it a slow paced album....
