I think that, in a past life, I was somehow involved in the music industry. Music is a huge passion of mine! Concerts, albums, recommended by friends, found by accident, it doesn't matter - let me at it.

San Cisco - Awkward - This one is definitely stuck in my head, thanks to @RadioBDC! It always seems to come on later in the afternoon when I'm listening to the station and working on random art projects, for some reason. Either way, it's catchy and it's growing on me. Someone toss me a tambourine!
Citizen Cope - Something to Believe In - I'd love to see this guy live. I've seen him on Palladia, performing at some festival or another, and he seems to put on a good show - a mix of rock, soul, blues, what more could you want?
Ryan Adams - Oh My Sweet Carolina -"All the sweetest winds they blow across the south/ Oh my sweet Carolina..."
Of Monsters and Men - Mountain Sound - another from the #MusicMyFriendsGotMeInto category, thanks to the lovely Courtney! This one is also still growing on me, too.
I love when my friends introduce me to music I've never heard before, especially when they're passionate about it. I'm lucky to have friends, connected to the music industry and otherwise, who have shared incredible new music with me over the years.
Today's #MusicMyFriendsGotMeInto moment (I'm stuck on creating new hashtags, don't judge me!) is brought to you by Courtney, one of my best friends from college. She introduced me to Of Monsters and Men:
As she says, this indie/folk/ska band is definitely a bit like an Icelandic Mumford and Sons, who I also enjoy.
"Little Talks" - Of Monsters and Men
The male lead singer's reminds me so much of Torquil Campbell from Stars (Canadian indie pop band), it was hard to listen to this song and not expect a Stars song to follow. I have read that Rolling Stone has called Of Monsters and Men a "new Arcade Fire" in addition to being the "Icelandic Mumford and Sons".
I also found this - "Your Bones"(audio only)
So, what do you think? Like 'em? Leave 'em? Get Courtney to make more music recommendations? ;-)
So, #WhatchaListeningTo?
