November News

Hello friends,

This month has been absolutely one of the slowest months for music so far hence my spotty/close to no posts at all this month. I have only found remixes and some pop music... If anyone has any new music suggestions I would love to hear them. Until then hang in there and I'll post something awesome soon. 

Thank you!

Lucy

1. "Hit The Ground (Superman)"- The Big Pink:

YAYYY! More from The Big Pink. This month has been an incredibly slow new music release month but expect a new album from TBP soon!

The Big Pink - "Hit The Ground (Superman)" by TheNJUnderground

2."At Your Fingers"- Capitol6:

It's that marvelous rock sound. Lovely echo and a hint of Oasis.

Capitol 6: "At Your Fingers" by wearesolidgold

3." Golden Girl"- Sun Wizard:

I love the feeling of this song. It's high energy with great vocals and lyrics too.

Sun Wizard - Golden Girl by Light Organ

4."Friend Crush"- Friends:

Oh yes. Listen to these lyrics. I bet you can relate. It's got a great beat and fun background noises.

5."Sweet Sweet Smile"- Nick Raven:

I love the lyrics in this song. I also like the EP name "Happy You Hippie Me".

1."Mona Lisa"- Atlas Sound:

Atlas Sound is having a good year! Here's another good song from them!

Atlas Sound, Mona Lisa by Danceyrselfcleaner

2."Run Right Back"- The Black Keys:

Yes! A new single from The Black Keys I guess at this point the singles will just come out gradually until the album. They also have masterfully made it so you can hear their music and want it really badly but you can only listen online until you  buy the whole dang album.. unless you know where to look.....

Download The Black Keys Run Right Back

3."I Wanted To Tell Her (Ministry Cover)"- Holy Ghost!:

This is an awesome cover; it is so unbelievably 80s and my love of the 80s is no secret. It has keyboards, swoosh sounds and all. It's a trip.

4." Young Dreams"- Young Dreams:

This song is so full of energy. Part of it almost sounds like Greek music. It's a very cool song.

Young Dreams by NYLONmag

5."I Don't Care For That"- The Dead Heads:

A cool psych/grunge song from an Aussie band. You can get their first EP for free below. This just happens to be my favorite song from it.

November 6th, 2011 Bandcamp edition

Bandcamp is where I go when I want something fresh. There's all kinds of amazing talented waiting to be discovered on Bandcamp. Here are a few I found today.

1." The Greatest Falling Stars"- Five Times August:

Just some nice acoustic music to soothe your ears and a sweet, cute voice and pretty lyrics to go with it.

2."Augustine"- Rosas:

Rock/Alt/Indie. Good vocals and I love the drums in this song.

3."Forever Dreamily"- Little Chestnuts:

Ambient and almost a little 80s sounding. This song has an awesome bassline and a nice mellow sound.

4."Yours, Someday"- Spanish Cannons:

This song contains lyrics that I'm sure a ton of people can relate to and the music is really good. I know I can. It makes me think of one of my friends. The guitar is lovely.

5."The Dreamer"- Island of Bells:

Besides the name of this group I really like all the different sounds in this music. This whole album is really cool and interesting but at the moment this is the song that stuck out the most.

November 5th, 2011: Throwback #3

This week has been tough but I at least want to provide everyone with something. Here's another throwback but with a date.

1."The Scientist"-Coldplay:

After hearing so much from the new Coldplay album, it made me remember the old stuff. This is one of my favorites. 

Download here

2."Wide Eyes"- Local Natives:

This isn't that old but it's not really new either. It's one of my all time favorite songs and it's from a really good album. 

Download here

3."Brothers On A Hotel Bed"- Death Cab For Cutie:

This is another artist where I like a bunch of their material but this song is one of my favorites. There's something about the lyrics in this song and the way I feel when I hear it.

Download here

4."Better Man"- Pearl Jam:

Eddie Vedder is truly gifted. His voice is absolutely amazing and it's so soothing. This is one of the softer songs where you can hear those qualities.

Download here

5."Ride"- The Cary Brothers:

This song is unbelievable. It came on my shuffle the other day when I was in a mellow mood I remembered how much I love this song.

1."Another Flying Dream"- Clouds At Dusk:

Instrumental but so chill and relaxing I had to include it. It makes me want to be on a beach.

2."Knew You'd Never"- Kandle:

I think I've posted some Kandle before. Super talented songstress with a beautiful voice. This song is wonderful and I can see it really going somewhere if people hear it. Here it is.

3."Catalina Wine Mixer"- Work Drugs:

This is a cool upbeat song with nice background vocals and an interesting echo sound. 

4."Tropical Punch"- Haleiwa:

This song is smooth and summery. It has really nice harmony vocals and a warm feel.

5."Life Is Simple In The Moonlight"- The Strokes:

This song isn't that new but it's new to me and I rather like it.

1." Like Smoke (Feat Nas)"- Amy Winehouse:

I'm not a huge one for rap but this song s definitely a nice song to remember Amy Winehouse and proof that her amazing voice lives on.

2."How It Ended (Jeremy Summer Camp Remix)"- The Drums:

This is an awesome high energy mix of this song.

Some good old rock n roll sounding music. The guitar in this is signature rock sound. I love it.

The Whip by Locksley

4."Mallory"- The History Of Apple Pie:

This group sings one of my favorite song from last summer, "You're So Cool". I love their voices.

Mallory by The History Of Apple Pie

5."Animal Orchard"- Jacob Augustine:

Jacob has an amazing voice. It's so bold. It's also comforting in a way like there should be a campfire near it.

November 2nd, 2011

1." Ghosts That We Knew"- Mumford and Sons:

This song. Oh my goodness. It will make you feel something I promise. It's incredible. If I listen to this song at the wrong time there is a possibility that I will cry.

2."GTWS (School Of Seven Bells Remix)"- Warm Ghost:

Again I pick this for the cool collaboration. I love School Of Seven Bells and this is an awesome mix.

3." Beware Of Bees"- Twin Library:

This song is really cool. I love the echo in it.. it makes it sound kind of psych.

4."Party (Single Mix)"- Little Bark:

The title kind of says it all. When you hear this song you kinda just want to dance. She has a cute voice too with a slight trace of an accent.

5."16 Years"- Phantogram:

This is the free track in the indie spotlight on itunes. It's promoting Phantogram's new EP, Nightlife. I'm excited to hear more stuff from Phantogram!

1."Mr. November"- The National:

An old song but one of my very favorites and a great way to ring in the new month. Rabbit Rabbit.

2."Can't Stop"- Red Hot Chili Peppers:

Yes also an old one but today is Anthony Kiedis' Birthday!! Happy Birthday Sir Psycho Sexy!

3."No Future/No Past"- Cloud Nothings:

I like the guitar riff in this one. Reminds me a bit of Nada Surf. It's one of those build up songs too. The vocals gradually get louder and more intense.

4."I Need A Doctor"- The Drums:

Another dreamy, happy melody from The Drums. I also really love the lyrics.

Download here

5." Endless Acres"- Cauzamos:

Some soft folky indie. I like the vocals too. They're kind of sing songy which gives the song so much more character.
