Estelle - One Love
—————I made the mistake of listening to “One Love” on the Silent Floor of the library where whispers send panties soaring up people’s rear ends. This song is much too club-ready to hear among the books. David Guetta teamed up with the caramel-smooth swoons of Estelle (American Boy, for those who don’t remember…for shame) to deliver a dance beat worthy of theMeghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05259024178122305067noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4710832655822167790.post-66284951704560756742011-04-04T20:25:00.000-07:002011-04-04T20:25:38.151-07:00Nick Cave and Warren Ellis- Song for Bob---------------Ever hear one of those songs that instantly makes you think? My answer to that is "Song for Bob" an airy, haunting song from the 2008 movie "The Assassination of Jesse James." If nothing else from the film, the soundtrack is all-together a mournful and beautiful obituary to outlaw Jesse James and the men who turned against him. The soundtrack composed by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis Meghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05259024178122305067noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4710832655822167790.post-36897070879954198692011-04-02T15:16:00.001-07:002011-04-02T15:16:46.314-07:00Song of the DayThe Kills - Satellite——————— The Kills Allison Mosshart and Jamie Hince know that a theatrical, outlaw music video is the way to keep the buzz going on new material.The video looks like an editorialized heist with a wardrobe that would make Nylon jealous and the ultimate getaway car - a vintage Rolls Royce.

-------------------This song has captured my interest for a while, but I almost never hear it outside of a smoke-filled room where everyone's so stoned that "Yonkers" is the only thing that can make it better. Almost every element of this song says creepy. The beat sounds like a censored cricket chirp and the result of lots and lots of...inspiration.

This spring sale was at 641 RPM in Boone, North Carolina. Not only did 641 have a record sale, THE ENTIRE STORE WAS 50% OFF!
All. Records. On. Sale. But since I'm broke I couldn't buy up the whole stock.

Oh Land - Son of a Gun
---------------I don't watch Kimmel, but from what I've heard he brings some decent performers to wrap up his late show. This girl in particular, Oh Land, just released her self-titled album in the U.S. and did a great job performing "Son of a Gun" on the show. Oh Land hits the mark on their electro-dance worthy beats but what makes it sound so good is an Meghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05259024178122305067noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4710832655822167790.post-23835959685071478622011-03-21T09:12:00.001-07:002011-03-21T09:12:57.728-07:00It's Been a While...Hey all on Tumblr/Twitter/Blogspot/Buzznet, Woo! Vacation was fun (sorry I couldn’t take you all with me - it would’ve been funner-er). Anyway, I’ve got a little list of musical musicians that I’ve been feeling lately, and hopefully you’ll find one that you like for yourself:1. B.B. King - the guy is a legend in blues.

Brand New - Soco Amaretto Lime
--------------A pause in the evening to do this post. This song is many things, many things that we don't think about unless the tempo is slowed and the guitar sounds like a heartbeat. Don't mean to sound cheesy here, but this is one of those songs that you just have to listen to to get the real feel for. The ending is particularly noteworthy, as it is Meghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05259024178122305067noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4710832655822167790.post-17848237384663547282011-03-01T20:51:00.001-08:002011-03-01T20:51:47.407-08:00Album I Love - Adele 21I know, I know - 21 has been out for a while. But I literally just got it this afternoon, and I adore it. The girl’s only a year older than I am but she’s singin’ like she’s seen it all and done it all - with class. Soulful is an understatement. There’s some earth-shattering, chills inducing resonance with her voice that no amount of words could ever do justice to describe.

Washed Out - New Theory
Mixmaking is an artform - some people make jumbled together, out of order mixes that are as creative as a kindergarten’s fingerpainting project. But some are fine works, crafted meticulously and harmoniously to the ultimate listening experience. Washed Out was on one exceptional Pollock of playlists I received not too long ago.

Foster the People - Pumped Up Kicks
--------------------Some people have New Year's resolutions, but this is my one-week resolution: I will post every day this week! I know, right? I mean, that's sort of what I should be doing anyways but I've been busy as a bee. Like that bee in the White Stripes video though, adorably lonely and such.

I adore their lead singer, who makes "The Words that Maketh Murder" sound like a weather-beaten tale of impending doom from the days of pirates and rouges. But with a 2011 update, of course. The range of instruments and easy-flowing down beats are wonderful.

The Blakes - Don't Bother Me
-----------------An album ends and you need something to listen to - happens every day. I was asked what I wanted to hear next, I said "anything that sounds like the Beach Boys took too much acid, recorded some demo tracks during a punk phase and never released it." Wil pulled out a band called The Blakes, and he was pretty spot on with my description.

Shiny Toy Guns - Le Disko (remix)
--------One of the main contributions to my music library is tuning in to what’s playing in coffee shops, record stores and other music-oriented establishments. BeansTalk is my mainstay when it comes to a good hazelnut mocha chai (Mad Monk, if you ever come by in Boone, NC).

Tame Impala - Solitude is Bliss
--------------------When finding music, word of mouth can either be a newfound discovery or a ton of hype. When a friend of mine mentioned his long struggle to get Tame Impala on vinyl and played a few tracks from their 2010 album, Innerspeaker, all I wanted to do was hear more.

A couple of things:
Most of these bands I'm a fan of, and if I'm not jumping up and down over them (Best Coast), they fit the festival. Chromeo, The National, Mumford & Sons and Jack's Mannequin would be my Top 4 at the moment, but that's subject to change.

Blonde Redhead - Heroine
--------------Interesting hair combo, right? Great name for a band, though. Today's song "Heroine" is the kind of girly Sonic Youth sound that flows well with those moments where you need to swim in creative concentration. The fluidity of the song is something relaxing and completely nonchalant, which lately is what we've all needed.

The Travelling Band - Only Waiting

So I looked up the U.K. original series and took a listen to their latest season. Travelling Band, particularly "Only Waiting" has a pop-folk sound that sounds mellowed out and Meghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05259024178122305067noreply@blogger.com0
