Sounds Ace & Friends! Sounds Ace pal and fellow Jerusalem resident Laura Graber and I decided to make an episode about the music we were listening to when we started caring about music, I guess, or when we were finishing high school and starting university. Heads up; nostalgia for 2002-2004. 

Featuring The Strokes, Wilco, Cat Power, Broadcast, Erlend Oye, Ben Kweller, The Postal Service, Broken Social Scene (pictured, and a word about this picture: I had this picture up on my wall. I thought it was beyond cool), The Flaming Lips and The Fiery Furnaces. 

I'm back i'm back i'm baaaaack. Sorry it's been so long. I was away! Anyway back now, with really a great episode with lots of new songs that I really love INCLUDING Spiritualized, Hunx and his Punx, Eleanor Friedberg (ever-photogenic, and pictured), Japandroids, Diiv (f/k/a Dive), Daniel Rossen, Chromatics, Fiona Apple, The Men and The Shins. I hope you like it! 

As ever,

Esther C. W.
