I have to admit that sometimes I get so ridiculously upset that I can’t go to Coachella and SXSW that I prefer to ignore all of it. The sheer numbers of bands and such I’d love to catch and can’t makes my stomach upset. South was at SXSW, perfect example.

I’ve been in love with South for a really long time, more specifically, around the time their track ‘Paint the Silence’ (I think) was used for an American Eagle commercial back in the dizzay. So, a good 5 years ago? Not that I like American Eagle. I just happened to be watching TV and this song came on. Then I pulled out my secret weapon and found the song. Sssh.

So, they have a new album coming out. And a new song. Thank goodness for Elbo.ws. Never woulda caught that otherwise. So EXCITING! YAY! I’m more excited about this than I was for the Jack Johnson album, perhaps because Jack Johnson is like a comfy pair of socks and South is like dew, sunshine, and happy, car-driving teen times. For me, anyways.
