[...] Sorry for the lack of updates around Naturalismo this past week, I’ve been extremely busy. Naturalismo has a little over a week to find a place to live in San Francisco and get a job, which is difficult but exciting. So if you’re working somewhere fun that’s hiring let me know, I’m looking for a job in music PR or advertising, but would be open to other areas.

I’m with HL. I believe that Banhart can only sound fresh and inspired to people who aren’t already familiar with Bolan, who in Unicorn made an album that Banhart will never come within a mile of. I still have yet to hear a single Banhart song that sounds original to me–’Seahorse’ just seems like a patchwork of imitiations. To those who hear something more, I’m glad you enjoy it.

My wife played Banhart for me the first time and I believe I said, “Is that some older Marc Bolan?” I still can’t listen to him without picturing Bolan playing. Thanks for the post.

This may sound off – but was that the actor Gael Garcia Bernal (Motorcycle Diaries, Science Of Sleep, Babel) maybe a quarter through the “Seahorse” video, just listening?

I was glad to see the Swiffer at the end. I was wondering how they handled all the fallen beard hair in that house.

Also spotted in the video: Elliot Roberts, their manager as well as Neil Young’s.
