First Post

Hello and welcome to my blog, Aural Pleasure! As the title suggests, this blog will be all about music. In particular it will be about the music that I enjoy listening to. Well, what kind of music do you enjoy listening to? you might ask. Without going into too much detail (believe me, I could) I'll just say that I mostly listen to indie, folk, classical, jazz, soul, and rock. I'm not a huge country fan and I'm very particular about the rap and hip-hop that I listen to. If you've ever heard of a genre dubbed "freak-folk" you might have a pretty good idea of the kind of stuff you'll hear (Devendra Banhart, Joanna Newsom, Josephine Foster, Fleet Foxes, CocoRosie, Sufjan Stevens, Vashti Bunyan, Mariee Sioux, etc). So without further ado, here's a sampling of music videos to whet your appetite.

Fleet Foxes - Mykonos

Mariee Sioux - Wizard Flurry Home

Devendra Banhart - Carmensita
(Yes, that is Natalie Portman)

Joanna Newsom - Sprout and the Bean

Well that's all I'm going to post for today, but I'm sure I will be posting new music videos and other fun stuff regularly, so keep your eyes peeled! Also, if you already haven't you should take a look at the links on the left-hand side of the page. Some of them even have free downloadable MP3s of some really great music!
