Alright I'm trying out something a little new. I'm going to ( maybe once a week or once a month we'll see) post 5 songs that are "old" that I still actively listen to or that I've forgotten about. Perhaps you'll know some of these and remember a song you'd forgotten about or hey, these songs could be new to you.
1."The Funeral"- Band Of Horses:
I remember when Everything All The Time first came out. It was when I first started getting into indie music and it was my mother that first played Band Of Horses for me. I find myself listening to this song often. This song along with "Is There A Ghost" and "No One's Gonna Love You".
2."Abel"- The National:
This is my favorite National song at the moment. It changes a lot and I often get in a "National mood". One of the best songs from Alligator. I've listened to this song every day this week.
3." Heavy Metal Drummer"- Wilco:
Okay when I was younger, This was my most favorite song ever. I would sing it all day at school. Not to mention that Wilco was one of the first really successful bands in the indie movement along with like The Shins and a few others. Wilco absolutely rocked NPR and the indie radio station in my home town used to play Wilco all the time.
4." Icky Thump" - The White Stripes:
I remember when Icky Thump came out too. I fell in love with this song. It was dangerous and bad ass and well I wasn't really so I lived vicariously through music like "Icky Thump".
5." Ain't No Reason"- Brett Dennen:
Brett Dennen's music started my thirst for folk music. His music also had something that I wasn't as used to hearing, purpose. The lyrics in this song speak to something and are twisted with wisdom and observation. He has an absolutely brilliant soul.
