Songs & Albums You Should(& n’t) be Listening To:

Note *** = put this track on endless repeat

 

1. Most Classic Album in recent years: John Lajoie - You Want Some of This?  ***

2. A Song i missed out on somehow: Human by the Killers

3. I thought they were a one hit wonder, but then they surprised me: 1,2,3,4 by Plain White T’s

4. I tend to stay away from these poppy over played songs, especially since they come out with songs like “dirty little secret” which was incredibly dumb, but All-American Rejects’ “Gives You Hell” is pretty damn classic in its meaning. I’m sure a lot of us would like to be able to say that to our X’s hehe.

5. Unusual Track, but very fun song: Metronomy’s “A Thing For Me”

6. Colder – To The Music, not sure why i bought this one, but i was desparate for a new sound, it’s got a good beat, guy has that kind of “Lights and Music one more time” voice. Probably could have skipped it. lol.

7. The Ruse – Beautiful is Gone, some itunes single of the week freebie, sounds like Coldplay without anything interesting in the sound or to sing about :(.

8. Rain On by The Woods. I love this track, buy it now! Has that high pitched voice like Metronomy, but much chiller, and great drums. ***

9. The Virgins – Rich Girls. Great beat you’ll f’n love it i swear the second it starts. Great sound. “i’ll tell you everything i know every little thing i know”. I’m beginning to enjoy the vocal range of artists voice. I love the screaming anger in The Walkmen – The Rat song, but it’s necessary, for that expression of those feelings we’ve all shared, that one long lost relationship. you’re just super pissed at. But other songs like Thing For Me, Rain On, Rich Girls, it’s more fun/unique when the artist has a range that you can easily detect. I dig it.

10. Fever Ray – When I Grow Up. I’m loving it, the beat, the techno chicks voice. It’s quite sick. There’s some kind of accent to her voice i can’t figure it out. ***

11. I know you’ve already listened to Glasvegas – Daddy’s Gone is a new favorite off their album i have the whole thing, but i’ve finally gotten use to his voice and can actually understand what he’s saying now. At first i thought he was speaking a foreign language, i just couldn’t figure it out haha. Social Worker is beautiful. ***

12. The Ruby Suns – Kenya Dig It. Best closing song i’ve heard in a long time. Blast this sucker the sound is incredible. I can’t stop listening to it. It’s not even new. But i just heard it for the first time so i’m guessing it hasn’t got much radio play. ***

13. Fever Ray – Keep the streets empty for me, Triangle Walks, i opted to buy the whole album i dig the sound, you might not want to spend 10 bux on it, but these are two other songs to check out for sure if you liked When I Grow Up. The style reminds me of Kosheen – Resist (previously mentioned here).

14. The Pains of Being Pure at Heart – Young Adult Friction. Long name amazing results. yeah that’s kind of how i feel haha.

15. Discovery – Carby, Can You Discover (ra ra riot remix i think), i really like these tracks so i bought some of their other top songs, this guy/groups really talented. ***

16. A Place to Bury Strangers – I know i’ll see you. Has a very The Cure sound i’m diggin it.

17. Grizzly Bear – The good: Sounds like Fleet Foxes. More is better, i’ve been missing the new fleet foxes stuff. He’s been releasing stuff in a solo album called White Antelope? but i haven’t seen anything available for purchase yet arg. Grizzly Bear’s been getting a lot of play psychadelic folk is what they’re calling this. “Two Weeks” is a great song, reminds me of Vampire Weekend, Ra Ra Riot, i like all these groups even if their stuff sounds the same, we get that great vocal range again i’ve been digging. I guess i bought the whole album, a reviewer said it was terrific and i love getting really involved in writing and bearly paying attention to a delicious album so that’s where i’m at i guess.

18. Sonic Youth – Antenna ( a new song), Unmade Bed (an older song). I love it that they’re releasing new stuff as i only recently got into them. They’ve got the same great voice, you can tell it’s aged a little, it’s like a great whiskey, it gets better, trust me, luckily in this case, the price stays the same. :).

19. Mew – Introducing Palace Players. I’m loving sirius xmu on my iphone because now when i hear new music i can add it to a basket and buy it later. I finally went to my basket today and bought everything up above here. It took foerver on the 3g network to download, but its so easy, i never even steal songs now anymore. crazy haha. Finally technology has gone in the right direction and made life so easy you can’t resist. Mew has that classic song zookeeper that is so effing 80s i just luv’d it. More of that fun sound is found here, fun found is sound here? tongue twister lol.

20. Deerhunter – Never Stops, has kind of a deathcab sound i’m liking it. I haven’t really heard anything i dislike yet by these guys, i can’t wait to here some more good things. Keep up the good work.

21. Metric – Sick Muse, this chick has a great voice, i thought it was a dude for a while, but it’s fun.

22. The Saints – Army Navy or is it Army Navy – The Saints, not sure but it’s a terrific song. ***

23. Phoenix – Fences, This songs starts out so blissful you could just blast it, ***

24. Lykke Li’s new album, is great. I like I’m good I’m gone, Complaint Department, & Little bit.

 

Enjoy
