The Groove List: Volume 3

Local Natives, these guys are on constant rotation right now. Pretty much the entire album titled Gorilla Manor can be played through while cleaning, wasting time on the internet, or whatever else it is you find yourself doing. They reign from LA and gained a lot of notoriety from their multiple performances at SXSW IN 2009. A personal favorite from the album is "Airplanes" and the video is below. They are currently working on a new album which becomes glaringly obvious when you visit their website so no touring going right now.

Colts Game: Up Close

A good friend of mine was given some tickets to a Colts game a few weeks ago. As pretty much anyone who lives in the Indianapolis area knows it was a rough year to be a Colts fan. With today's loss, they guaranteed the #1 pick in the upcoming draft which is going to make for a very interesting off season. The future of the franchise is certainly in question with some pending decisions regarding who to bring back next season.

Our seats were in the front row. It is interesting sitting that close and you get an idea of how big these guys really are. It was pretty cool to see it up close and this game happened to be 1 of 2 that they actually won this season.

 Gotta love the flag because you only see it when the Colts score.

A large number of the players pray before, during, and after the game. Very cool.

Reggie Wayne, one of the staples of the Colts offense and hopefully ends his career here.

Steph's favorite, Robert Mathis, is another one who's contract is up and we really hope they keep him.

They were close to us but that also meant they were close to scoring.
