Horse Plays Guitar

This horse needs help to hold the guitar and its frets, but it makes a noble effort to strum all by itself. Now keep in mind we didn’t title this post “Horse Plays Guitar Well” for a reason.

Passion Pit: Take a Walk

Passion Pit: Take a Walk

The latest song from electropop band Passion Pit is more pop than electro, but more notably its the lyrics that take center stage in this track. Take a Walk is from the upcoming album Gossamer.
