Action Biker: Farrah

I love Action Biker. Ever since I heard her single, Sandy Edwards she’s had a special place in my pop heart. And after reading her myspace profile, I feel like we could be good friends. Believe it or not, I often spend my time thinking who I could be good friends with out in the music/movie/art world. Sometimes I go so far as to plan parties with grand guestlists. This is how I live my life. Moving on… The inspiration for posting this song came from a most wonderful mix from another Scandinavian pop favorite, Jens Lekman. I stumbled upon this last week and it really made my day. I think it’ll make yours too. Jens made this mix last August to commemorate the end of the summer but I find it most appropriate now because summer’s right around the corner (it was 90+ degrees today!). And so The Death of This Summer mix makes a most perfect soundtrack to it all. Because from death, comes life. Sort of. In the world of mixtapes at least. One listen and you might have to bring out the barbecue and blend some margaritas. And what does this have to do with Action Biker? Among other really fun bands featured (Ennio Morricone, America and Hall & Oates to name a few) you can hear Farrah mixed in at the end of it all. Amen.
