Jane's Party is the kind of party I like to go


The other day I was passing by Second Cup when I suddenly heard someone play the harmonica. As soon as I heard it, I stopped, I continued walking, but after two steps I knew I had to return. I bought myself a cup of Vanilla Bean Latte just so that I could sit there and listen to this band playing. When I was lining up the guy who was playing the shaker (I call it shaker, cuz thats what you do with it- shake it- and it has like rice or something like that inside and makes cool sounds) asked me how was I doing. I was like "Oh, My! He's nice".

I saw my friend Muji who was sitting on one of those tables in front of the band, so I sat next to him. While enjoying the sweet flavour of my Vanilla Bean Latte, I was listening to this band whos name I learned was Jane's Party. From what I've heard they are Canadians. I don't know if they go to York, but that was not the first time they were at York. Later my friend Adam decided to join our table.

While listening to their music, I fell in love with it. Such a melodic music they were playing. I felt like I could listen to them all day long. There were two cute guys there, not gonna lie, part of the reason why I stayed. And, if you knew me, I am a sucker for guys who can play guitar, and even more if they play the harmonica.

The acoustic music they were playing had some sort of fresh sounds I have never heard before, yet I feel like I knew those sounds all along. Sounds crazy, but it was a magical experience in my ears. Every single note made me happy and warmed my heart (along with my latte). I soon learned that they were selling their CD for $10 and given that they are independent- self produced- makes me wanna support them more. What I like about some of their songs is that sometimes they whistle yeah, they whistle, theres just something about song whistling that attracts my attention.

Here is their video Please:






I bought their CD and have been listening to it all day long over and over again. Here's the tracking:
