It’s been less than a week and I’m already one post behind on this monthly musical advent-ure (snap! see what I did there? oh ho ho) .

December 8th: Sonic Youth – Sacred Trickster

After three years, Sonic Youth returned with The Eternal and proved they were as good as EVER (and that I will never be as cool as Kim Gordon, ever). Press up against the amp, turn up the treble don’t forget.

Buy the album, it’s worth it.

December 9th: Mumford & Sons – The Cave (Bookshop Sessions)

Honestly, it’s only right that people fell in love and went crazy for Mumford & Sons this last year. It would be difficult not to take notice of such incredible talent and musicianship. And although they sound great on record, Mumford & Sons are a band that need to be experienced live to fully appreciate what they’ve got to offer. Trust me, I learned this first hand. I give you a session version of “The Cave,” a song that stuck with me since seeing them live over a year ago. Also, I highly suggest you check out their debut album Sigh No More, only available as import right now but hopefully that’ll change soon.
