for you: Indie Rebellion & Grimes

Because I appreciate you, yes YOU reading this, I have something special for you..... The first is a site of collective independent music - Indie Rebellion. I spent hours on this blog last night, devouring all the new, refreshing, and interesting music boasted there. Some stuff I like much better than others, but that's how it goes with music. I love love love being introduced to new music, and so this site is a keeper.

Ironically, the music I have for you today is not something I found on Indie Rebellion (but I did suggest it to be added to the queue - yes, you can make suggestions too!), but an artist I stumbled on before coming across Indie Rebellion, a Montreal-based artist called Grimes (her real name is Claire Bucher). This first song below sucked me in--it's ethereal and enchanting--and the video footage is from 1968 - how cool is that?

And after I fell in love with this song I had to search for more from Grimes and came across this next one.... can you say DANCE PARTY?? Someone throw on the strobe--
