5. Paint A Fence
He looks like he’s having fun!
6. Shepherd Sheep
This may be a bad example. This actually looks really awesome…

Maybe by the time they’ve finished downloading, Jay Leno will have lost his job!

Yeasayer are fast becoming one of the biggest cult bands to come out of North America. Aesthetic Octopus got together with vocalist Chris Keating, a live bandmate whose name was lost in the hustle and bustle of the busy Glaswegian bar, and, eventually, Ira Wolf Tuton, bassist and oil-wrestling enthusiast.

In addition to this, my personal penchant for Joanna Newsom, and anticipation for Have One On Me was slammed by Tuton during the interview. Don’t worry, insults are what he gives to his friends…

Often times I have found myself wondering just how old the various artists I listen to are these days, so I figured perhaps others have the same curiosity. So in honor of it being Zooey Deschanel’s 30th birthday tomorrow, I have compiled a list of current ages/birthdays of some of the most prominent indie humans.
