Blog-spiration!

"I have no 'blog-spiration' whatsoever at the moment. Blogging requires inspiration and enthusiasm, but instead of throwing my all into it, I'm making up excuses for not doing it and trying to convince myself that it's pathetic and pointless."

These were my thoughts ala ten minutes ago, but now that I have some 'blog-spiration', here's two current favourites by The Antlers.

The Antlers - Uprooted
The Antlers - Two

Now, has anybody noticed the amount of bands that are named after woodland creatures at the moment? This bizarre coincidence/trend appears to have started around 2002. Here is a list of the bands I found in my iTunes library which fit the criteria, and please, feel free to add:

Deerhoof
Deerhunter
The Antlers
Crystal Antlers
Grizzly Bear
Department of Eagles
Ladyhawke
Fox n' Wolf
Patrick Wolf
Wolfmother
Bat For Lashes
Band of Horses
Fleet Foxes
...
A Place To Bury Strangers?

This isn't a problem for me, it's just an ongoing observation. Judging by the high quality music that these bands put out, if the woodland animal theme is here to stay, that's fine by me!
