Morning Music Notes – Revamped

Rich and I had a weekend powwow at the PHM headquarters. Changes are abound! Amazingly, we’re both not fired. However, we have decided to revamp things. First change – more in-depth articles will be featured on PHM in the future. Until we finish our time machine, we need to reallocate some of our time to actually write these in-depth pieces, and that means a shorter Morning Music Notes. We’ll still hit you with a video and some news, but it’ll be more link based and less “read our hilarious commentary” styled. Hopefully you still like it. If not, well, we’re the only site on the Internet, so you’re stuck with us.

Watch! Bogan Via – Kanye

Quirky title or trying to piggy back off of Kanye West’s name? Can’t it be both? The band are electric folk duo Bogan Via. The Phoenix duo are Bret Bender and Madeleine Miller and they like robbing banks. Well, at least based on their video for their track, Kanye. Check out the video below.
