1."Off To The Races"- Lana Del Rey:

I'm beginning to think of Lana as a more sophisticated/indie Ke$ha. This is one of her newer songs and it has a kind of whiny Ke$ha quality but it doesn't bother me. In fact I rather like it.

2."My Valentine"- Paul McCartney & Eric Clapton:

What a duo. I'm so happy to hear them both still singing. I want to be their valentine. *Sigh* Unrequited love...

My Valentine - Paul McCartney by PaulMcCartney

3."Born to Lose"- Sleigh Bells:

More Sleigh Bells but less sugar coated than before. It's like the powerpuff girls kill the sugar spice and everything nice and turn up the angst a little.

4."Youth Knows No Pain"- Lykke Li:

Lykke's giving away her "Lost Sessions" on her blog. This is my favorite of the 3 songs. Her voice is ghostly and beautiful.

Download here

5."Crystal"- Globalamp:
This song is wistful and dreamy. It also has a beautiful album cover.

1."Gold On The Ceiling"- The Black Keys:

YES! New album, El Camino out on the 6th. This song is so good. So strong and such amazing guitar! This is definitely gonna be one you'll hear on the radio soon enough. You can stream this song and 4 other new ones below. My other favorite is "Little Black Submarines"

2."Best of Friends"- Hospitality:

Upbeat melody and groovy backbeat. I love it. It also has a super catchy chorus.

3."Darklands"- Feathers:

Feathers sounds like a group of croony birds. They're from Australia and this song is lovely.

4."I Really Need Love"- A Band Of Bees:

I love the rhythm of this song. it's so upbeat and a little twangy. It makes this cold winter weather just a little warmer.

5." Golden Hearts Silver Eyes"- Forest of Twin:

This song could be the topic of an english class. The lyrics are so pretty and I looove the title.

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!

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.
