Not equine, but another obsession
About a month ago I clicked on a link on the profile of a local DJ/friend. He’s often got lots of cool things to share, so I knew it would be worthwhile. I was immediately enthralled by the sounds and intensity of about 50 fifth graders from Staten Island, NY. Pheonix (the band) has been a favorite of mine for over a year now, and to hear a cover of theirs performed by these kids was amazing. The emotion that these kids (normal kids, most from families hovering at the poverty line) have when they sing is amazing. Since that day I’ve checked their blog several times a week, listening to new selections all the time. They’ve been blogged about by Perez Hilton and Ashton Kutcher, performed for Obama and Beyonce, been on countless TV shows and even on Passion Pit’s latest album. These kids are amazing, and I get teased all the time for being obsessed – but I just love the vibe and inspiration they give me!
Here is the song that started it all for me…
