Thievery Corporation

It's that time of week again. Music Monday is back and this time we have a group that his been around the block for over a decade. Thievery Corporation produces some of my favorite jazz/reggae sounds. From Washington, D.C., Rob Garza and Eric Hilton created the Thievery Corporation in the summer of 1995. They realized their big love for club music and decided to test some sounds in the recording studio. They have some of the most eclectic styles in the music world as they range from dub to reggae to Middle Eastern to jazz and many more.

Get out of the sun and get cooled with some TC.

Where is Mykonos?

Fleet Foxes

Mykonos is a Greek island that spans an area of approximately 86 km squared. This island is mainly comprised of granite and relies heavily on the desalination of sea water in order to supply the small island's population with drinkable water. In Greek mythology, Mykonos was the battle ground in which Zeus fought the Titans. The island was also named in honor of Apollo's grandson Mykons....

ALSO, "Myknonos" is an incredible song by the indie folk rock band Fleet Foxes. Interpreted in many different ways, the song has an incredible feel with many different patterns of rhyme. It is very catchy and shows the band's strength in its vocal harmonies. Check out the song here:


Started by Robin Pecknold and Skyler Skjelset in 2006, Fleet Foxes are from Portland, Oregon. They are considered to be indie folk as well as Baroque pop. They have released two major albums so far in their young existence: Fleet Foxes (2008) and Helplessness Blues (2011). Check out some more tunes and stay tuned for Fleet Foxes as they are making a tour around the world starting June 23 in the United Kingdom.








STAY STRANGE and enjoy summer kids.
