Well, it would appear that the chances are good that I'll be seeing The Dark Knight tonight.  I'd say that I'm excited, but I think that would be grossly understating exactly how bad I want to see it.  I really believe that it's going to be one of the year's best.  Who's with me!?  Alright, since it's hump day and all I say that we go about doing a little grooving today in celebration of the rest of the week being all downhill.  The nice artist helping us do this will be Emiliana Torrini, who has a new record titled Me And Armini that's due out on Rough Trade in September.  I'm rather new to the Torrini bandwagon (she has been putting out music since the late 90s), but even I'm thinking that the new full length will be pretty stellar.  Enjoy.

:Emiliana Torrini - Me And Armini:  I can't say I've ever sat around wishing and hoping that someone out there would deliver a gem with an electronic-tinged reggae arrangement thrown down underneath silky smooth songbird vocals, but I will note that I like it.  A lot.  In fact, why haven't I been demanding this sound forever?  Good thing people don't depend on me for that sort of stuff.

Emiliana has so much stuff on Youtube that I feel like I could highly recommend, but for time's sake I think you'll be rather satisfied with Sunny Road, which is a beautiful song set alongside some really nice animation.
