Fun Fest Recap: RayRay Edition

We’ve always had one hell of a time at Fun Fest every year, and we always have some fun after the festival discussing our take on each day’s events.  This year, we’re letting each one of our writers provide their own take on the weekend with a personal recap of the goings ons so as to not compromise or impose on any one writer’s opinions.  I’ll be starting things off today with some random thoughts and favorite bands from the best festival in town.  Follow the jump for more from me.

New Track (and EP) from Saadi

In my mind, today is a sort of world music day.  We’re fortunate to get lots of stuff from all across the globe, so I was super stoked to get this peppy little number from Syrian-born Saadi.  She’s releasing her new Take It Easy EP, and based on this, it’s going to be sort of a chilled-out good time.  My early opinion is that this single lives somewhere between the sweetness Lily Allen and the club flavor of Santigold.  Clearly it’s meant solely for your musical enjoyment, perhaps even your latest mixtape.  Give it a go, and I’m sure you’ll find a little more bounce in your step.
