Live Videos: The Drums “Money” & “Days” at SXSW 2012

What’s better than getting into a conversation about music with a total stranger?  In my eyes, you can learn more from a five-minute conversation rattling off bands you’ve seen and what albums you’re into at the moment than you can speaking about anything else.  Whether its indie, house, chillwave, shoegaze, whatever…the records you spin are what you want to soundtrack your existence.  And sharing those with another is what makes music even more fun.  I say this because I was recently chatting about music with someone new to my world and the first band I blurted out when asked about some of my favorite bands were The Drums.  So the next time you get into one of these conversations, pay attention to what you say…you’ll find something about what your true taste is.

Off that tangent, The Drums were at SXSW this past weekend, and someone was gracious enough to drop some fabulous stripped down performances of “Money” and “Days” onto YouTube.  Watch and enjoy below.
