I'm not a huge birthday guy—presents aren't my thing, not a huge fan of that birthday song, and getting old, well, it feels weird. That being said, I hit 27 over the weekend and got to spend time with some of my favorite people in the world. And my other favorite people in the world? Yeah, well they called me, texted me, messaged me, and even emailed me from anywhere and everywhere. I'm really a lucky dude surrounded by some pretty amazing people.

And I digress. As for music this week, another local band that has been stuck in my cerebral is Deep Sea Diver, a catchy alternative group with shades of the Shins, Phantogram, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Press play.
