Recommended Wednesday Show: Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros at Governors Island

A really good pop song is a really good pop song.  I put “Home” on my 2009 Favorite Songs List, and people have continuously picked it out as one of the songs they liked most.  I think nearly everyone has heard it by now, whether from a music blog or a commercial, but perhaps you haven’t seen the video above.  It’s by far the most charming performance I’ve ever seen on a late night television talk show.  They have absolutely no regard for the camera, seem like total weirdos, and Jade Castronos is one of the most compellingly honest performers I’ve encountered.  I’ve never seen them live before, I think their album is a little thin in general, but I have tickets to see them tomorrow and I couldn’t be more excited.

    I agree with you about the album, though I still really enjoy it. Let’s give them a time machine so they can be wildly popular. We’d still be listening to “Home” today with they took the Dolorean to the 60′s.
