Here's what I'm listening to this week. Missed a few weeks, oops! Getting into the swing of things with a new job and a new commute, which means sometimes I'm in the car and sometimes I'm on the train. Different music in different places, which I'm not mad about!
- Imagine Dragons - Demons - This comes on my car radio and I can't help but turn it up. I love it.
- Wyclef Jean - Gone Till November - I didn't realize how much of the lyrics I remembered! Hey 1997, you had some good beats. Wyclef, you ain't so bad yourself.
- Ryan Adams & The Cardinals - Magick
- U2 - Tryin' To Throw Your Arms Around The World - Can Bono do any wrong?
- Ryan Lewis and Macklemore - Can't Hold Us - Perfect song choice for a commercial (it's been used in at least 1 or 2).
BONUS:
- Bad Rabbits - Doin' It - Congrats to these local boys on the success of this track and of their new record! They're getting all kinds of great publicity - MTV Buzzworthy has written about them here. Check 'em out!
So, #WhatchaListeningTo?
As always, I'm always looking for new suggestions for music to listen to on my commute and otherwise! Tweet me @joannab or leave a comment here!
Here's what I'm listening to this week -
- Imagine Dragons - Radioactive - a nice juxtaposition to "It's Time"; it shows what else this band is capable of giving listeners. I'm certainly pickin' up what they're puttin' down.
- Wilco - Dawned On Me - "I've been lost/ I've been found/ I've been taken/ by the sound/ My own worries/ and voices in my head..."
- Brett Dennen - Closer To You - I love when artists put out these raw, real videos and allow the natural sound of the location where they're shooting the video to come through.
- Travis - Selfish Jean - I like the comedian Demetri Martin. I like this song. Demetri Martin is in the video. It's all coming together.
- Milo Greene - 1957 - I love the story behind the band name just as much as I am loving getting to know this band's music. They made a short film to accompany their album. Dreamy, cinematic, indie pop... who do you think they sound like?
Here's What I'm Listening To this week:
- Imagine Dragons - It's Time - This raw version from SXSW is great and makes me want to join in right from the first hand clap and foot stomp. "Now don’t you understand?/That I'm never changing who I am..."
- Florence & The Machine - No Light, No Light - When this drum beat starts, I can't stop myself from drumming along on the steering wheel.
- Mayer Hawthorne - The Walk - Okay, so I did a "Spotlight" on him back in January, but I have been hearing it on the radio right when I need a good jam, and it doesn't disappoint. I have a crush on MH, can't hide it. (PS I'm posting the uncensored version, in case there's any kiddos in the room...)
- Grizzly Bear - Two Weeks - I'm still trying to figure out exactly what the song means to me, but I'm diggin' it overall... there's somethin' about it that pulled me in... I'll tell ya one thing though - the video creeps the #$%& out of me!
- Shawn Mullins - Light You Up - Um, hello. Sexy song right here, am I right, folks?
