Josh Reichmann Oracle Band
Josh Liked-
Ariel Pink-His new videos and his attempt and a "normal Band", DearHunter-Despite the hype-I enjoy that fasiony youth and music lovers or both are digging the new psychy vibes with heart, My friend James says the band Woman have a couple really great songs, I continue to love world music that is erupting from various vaults around the world most notably Black Israeli messianic funk, also I love my friend Andres Ethier's commitment to real songs about being a man in todays funny world, Sebatiens Graingers Rock wonderland, and I am excited about James Sayce and Jacob Fairly's musical Project-which is probably great 'couse they know whats up- as with most people I Liked Batman Forever, because!
