I checked out Hot Chips and Panda Bear. I liked them both but purchased Panda Bear because I liked it more. I’ve got a big job over the weekend and look forward to listening to it as I paint away.

Hey Steve,
I got some Andrew Bird about 3 weeks ago. I love it! The tone and mood of the music is great to work to. Thanks for the suggestion!
