Stumbling through i-tunes looking for the perfect music for the perfect beer and perfect night and low and behold what slaps me in the face–Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros.  At first glance, I’m thinking old 60s band, they had the big bus, the hazy photos, the long, the frivilous clothing and the care free spirit.  But no, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros’s first full length release was sometime in July 2009.  Double click on the first song.  Sounding good.  Then the second, the third…the sixth and so on.  Hook, line and sinker, I was snagged and reeled in without a fight.  An album all to its own with smoothingly catchy beats and clear concise lyrics.  The rythmic beats make you tap your foot and beat the wheel.  There’s something special about Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros.  This album without a doubt is a must to check out and they’ll be cruzing through California throughout the next month.  I’ve never seen them live, but from the reviews it sounds like a must see.  Only fitting way to finish this up would be with a “peace.”
