Here are bands I keep hearing about but not hearing:
The Head and the Heart
Iron & Wine
Grace Potter and the Nocturnals
Anyone got anything on any of these folks? I see them discussed in contexts that suggest I might like them (recommended by people I admire, mentioned alongside people I like, etc.), but I have never (to my knowledge, at least) heard them on the radio.
Anyone? Anything? Should I seek them out?
Instead this morning I got some Van Halen doing “I’ll Wait” and some Fleetwood Mac doing “Rhiannon.” Despite the shocking lack of conjunctions in those bands’ names, I enjoyed both — even if I’ve got no particular story about either one.
I wouldn’t mind seeing Stevie Nicks and David Lee Roth in the same place, though. The wavy locks and flowing scarves alone would be dang impressive.

I know only Iron & Wine, which I first encountered on the Garden State soundtrack, and you would certainly like “them” (it’s one dude — I don’t know what the deal is with his name). All mellow and acoustic and pretty.
Have we talked about the fact that Stevie Nicks is touring with Rod Stewart? Fewer scarves, but no less mind-warping in my opinion.

Iron and Wine – best as background music – no singalongs.
Grace Potter et al – only big because she is hot. All my male friends run to her concerts. When I listen, I kind of shrug my shoulders and go “eh.”
The H and the H – yuppers.
