Notes From Underground

Marya: Village Records

Ok, so this post is kind of going to be about self promotion.  Is that cool?  Ok. 

So, I'm involved in this thing you might have heard of called Village Records.  It is a record label run by students out of the music department at NYU.  We're trying really hard this semester to get more recognition around New York City and anywhere else that might care.  We've been featured in some cool publications in the past, but we felt that a blog would be the place we want to advertise.  The people that read this are our main audience. 

We'll be putting on shows around the city, and look for a few releases from us in March (especially "The Dean's List").  If you like what you see/hear, then we would love to be your best friend.  And then you can tell your other friends.  And you can be like the cool kids and buy all our stuff.  Right?  Right. 

And for right now, you can check out our myspace.  www.myspace.com/villagerecords

Marya: Maritime

So, I don't really have much to report as far as shows go.  But I will say that for the last two weeks I could not stop listening to "We, the Vehicles" by the band Maritime.  I have to say "Tearing Up The Oxygen" might be one of my favorite songs.  No joke. 

The melodies on this album are quite fun and catchy, and you'll find yourself singing it at all hours.  It's kind of nice actually, to have a song stuck in my head that I actually like instead of the last obnoxious pop song that came on the radio.  So, really, do yourself a favor and check out Maritime.  www.maritimesongs.com
