Gold Motel

I think Greta Salpeter is a musical genius. Seriously, she is amazing.
She has lately been working on a new project called Gold Motel. I sincerely hope that this is NOT the end of The Hush Sound, because I adore them, but, Greta never ceases to impress.


I have made one of her songs the song of the week on my other blog this week, and really I'm too lazy/don't have time to add it to the playlist here right now. I will though, soon.


For now, go to the link and listen :)

We All Are Birds

Concert Love.

Deas Vail. They were amazing. Then... my camera died.

Dear Future

It is no secret to anyone that I love music. I mean, I have this blog.
Sometimes I find a new band that I'll think is pretty good. I'll listen to them every once in a while and enjoy them. Some bands become background music when I'm doing other things. Some bands don't make the cut at all because they aren't any good.


Some bands make my heart stop when I listen to them because I am so greatly impressed with them. Tonight, Dear Future is that band. I don't know how I've missed them for so long. Just listen, and love.

Feeling Love Drunk, and In Search of Solid Ground

I know its been awhile since I've blogged on here. I just don't know what I want this blog to be anymore. See, it was one thing, and then I changed it and let other people read it, and now... I just don't know.

This past weekend however, I was jonesing for new music, thankfully, Nate was too.

So, here are my two favorite songs from a few albums that are coming out this week. 

Boys Like Girls- Love Drunk

Saosin- In Search of Solid Ground (I'd also recommend Firefly off of this album.)

Playlist Du Jour

So, on my other blog I do a song of the week. Sometimes I get impatient for the week to be up so I can post a new song. Sort of funny considering the fact that I'm probably the only person that pays attention to that. I am also apparently the only person that pays attention to this blog. However, I am posting a current playlist of songs that have been on "heavy rotation" if you will, for me lately. Music is my catharsis. So here it is. Pay attention to the Robert Plant/Allison Krauss duet, from the album Raising Sand that Trent tuned me into this week, as well as the MGMT that Tyler tuned me into a couple weeks ago. Completely different sounds from these songs, but both are awesome. Also, I wanted to post the Beatles' version of You Really Got a Hold on me, because despite my love for Smokey Robinson, their version is the one I've been feeling lately. However, I decided to post this dang sweet one by She & Him and kill two birds with one stone. Introduce you to a sweet band and post a song I've been listening to a lot. Enjoy!

An Ocean Full of Memories

Last night I was thrown into all of the memories that come with listening to the band mae. Today, I have been washed up in those memories, because sometimes, if you start something, you can't stop it until you've completed the entire ride.
I have been pondering on The Everglow, an album that I have put in a bell jar, crystallized with memories of hopes and wishes I had so long ago. While there is so much there I could say, I am honestly here to talk about the music itself.
I honestly think that The Everglow is an amazing album that everyone should own. Rarely does such a perfect mesh of lyrics and music come around to create such a truly musical experience, a Multisensory Aesthetic Experience, if you will. I can still remember the first time I saw mae live. That concert will forever be in my top ten of best concerts ever, not only because of who I was with (again, the ties of memories are strong with this band and most especially this album) but because it was the first time I recognized how awesome a concert can be when the band gets up, plays their music with passion, and doesn't stop. The music seriously did not stop until their entire set was done. It was incredible.
Its hard to choose which songs to post to show you how incredible this band is. The music and lyrics on every song mean so much to me for millions of reasons I could never begin to describe or enumerate, but here is a small sampling to inspire you to get the album for yourself.
I did include Sun, which is not on The Everglow, but since this is my memory ride, I can include whatever I want.

I'll Never Ask For Anyone But You

So last week I got the All American Rejects new album When the World Comes Down. Overall, its not my favorite. I think the song I Wanna is a complete joke, and Sunshine sounds like Enya wrote it. Which in and of itself isn't necessarily a bad thing, but not something I listen for and expect from the All American Rejects. I think I'd have to give this album low ratings, and I wouldn't suggest getting it, its not worth it. Just keep listening to Move Along, their best album to date. I would however, suggest getting this one song on the new album. Amidst all the letdown on this album , this song resonates with real feeling. Its a duet with Catherine from the band Pierces, a quirky and strange band, that you can check out here, but this combination works.
