Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros

Hello fellow pickers,

I've stumbled across a pretty cool band through TV commercials oddly enough. The two Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros songs "Home" and "Janglin" are used in NFL and Ford commercials respectively. I also really like their song "40 Day Dream" too. Didn't really remember this song until I read some of the posts on youtube, but "Janglin" is very similar to Feist's "1234" song that was an iPod commercial at one point. Anyway, here are some links so you can check out the songs. Hope y'all like them as much as I have.

Happy listening,

Chis


p.s. I went to see The Blacks Keys a few weeks ago in Charlottesville and as usual they were awesome. They actually brought out two other guys (keyboard and base) for a few songs which was the first time I've have seen The Keys play with other artists. They probably played 4-5 songs with the other two, but for most of the show it was just Dan and Patrick doing what they do. It actually looks like tonight is their last show in the US before going to Europe.

  1. I just realized that "Janglin" also resembles "See You In My Dreams."

    Interesting...

  2. I LOVE that song "Home" and bought it as soon as they started playing it on the radio up here. Matt, however, is NOT a fan of it ;). So glad you encouraged me to hear more than just their single . . . I really like these guys!
