First up, as always, here’s [...]

Published by February 26th, 2010 in five song friday, music musings and music suggestion. 0 CommentsToday, I am writing you from my prison of the last few days; I am laid out in my home after throwing my back out on Wednesday. It goes without saying, that right now, I am not a happy camper. However, that will not stop me from bringing you the 5SF I promised you this [...]
Yes, you are reading that correctly; the five song Friday is BACK. As I have alluded to previously, I have been a bit busy with leaving my job, and starting nursing school; but that hasn’t stopped my passion for discovering and sharing new music. Today will have five songs that I have discovered since the [...]

Published by January 31st, 2010 in listen up!, music musings and music suggestion. 2 CommentsThe time has finally arrived; here is the best of the best in music from 2009. These are the five albums that I loved the most, and when I say that it was hard to rank them, believe me; these are certainly the cream of the music crop from 2009.

Silversun Pickups really remind me of high school a lot, in that their music reminds me of the way that I felt when I first truly knew that I loved music. Much like the way early Smashing Pumpkins got me into alternative rock, the Silversun Pickups picked up that torch [...]

Published by January 18th, 2010 in listen up!, music musings and music suggestion. 1 CommentFirst off, is anyone still paying attention? Sorry for the delays for those of you that are… Alright, so I know what you are thinking, and YES, I promise to finish this damn countdown. This past week was my first week of nursing school, and as a result, I have been crazy busy. However, that [...]

Published by January 7th, 2010 in music musings and music suggestion. 2 Comments16: Band of Skulls – Baby Darling Doll Face Honey
Using jangly guitars, banging beats, and sounding like a well-made mash-up of Chrissie Hynde and the White Stripes, Band of Skulls take heavy influences from classic rock and completely rock out on this fantastic album. Perhaps it is the pairing of the male and female [...]

This album was probably one of my biggest surprises in 2009; considering that I had never even heard of Biffy Clyro before the midpoint of the year. I love it when I stumble onto new bands, and when I first heard The Captain, I knew I had stumbled onto [...]

Matthew’s stripped down, beautiful acoustic folk-rock really took me be surprise; when I stumbled on his song, Easily Bruised, I really wasn’t expecting to [...]
songs that sample and desecrate the original in the process
Published by December 13th, 2009 in music musings, music suggestion, venting and wtf?!. 4 CommentsThere are a ton of songs out there that use samples from other, amazing songs that came before them. No song is safe from being sampled, and often times, the song that it ends up in completely desecrates the original song. There are some samples that I will admittedly enjoy, but there are those that [...]
