audio post of the day!

Dignan-They’re Outnumbered 

These guys are genius and from my neck of the woods. From McAllen, Texas (a city making a name for itself in the music scene) these guys rock the loving crowd that comes to watch them any chance they are performing.

Day 10 of 12 Days of Indie Christmas Video, chosen by Illyana:

‘Something for You’ from Best Coast + Wavves who are two of our favorites here at Blue Sky.

Speaking of favorites, the Final Cut v2.0 will be delayed this weekend because tomorrow is MJ’s birthday! So speaking of “something to give” you guys should leave comments! It’s not just on Facebook anymore (though you can use that too on our new Facebook page)!

For New Years, we’ll be integrating Facebook as a way to log in @ Blue Sky + interact here and we’ll be putting the final touches on the magazine!

We are glad to welcome Illyana on board. It was easy to say a big YES when she first showed interest in being a part of the blog. Her classic taste in music and love for more indie acts like St. Vincent didn’t hurt that decision any.
