#WhatchaListeningTo Wednesday

Here's what I'm listening to on this final week of my summer job (Can't be too excited, yet - the school year is right around the corner!)

• The Killers - Runaways - I saw them perform live a few years ago, and it was a very fun show - Brandon Flowers is a huge talent.
• Florence and the Machine - Spectrum - "Say my name/ as every colour illuminates/ we are shining/ and we'll never be afraid again"
• Needtobreathe - Hurricane - The band came to the Radio 92.9 Boch Studio 2 years ago - I'm a little late to this song, apparently, but I love it.
• Sara Bareilles - One Sweet Love - Simply a sweet, sweet love song. It got me.
• Peter Bjorn and John - Nothing To Worry About - A quirky song that I can't stop listening to. 

So, #whatchalisteningto?

#WhatchaListeningTo Wednesdays

Here's what I'm listening to this week:

• Phoenix - Everything is Everything  
• G.Love & Special Sauce - Rodeo Clowns [Extended Mix]
• Florence and the Machine - Breath of Life - this played during the credits of Snow White and the Huntsman, which I saw this past weekend - pretty good film! 
• Obadiah Parker - Hey Ya - a great acoustic cover! #FunFact: Obadiah's real name is Mat Weddle from Scottsdale, AZ.
• Raphael Saadiq - Stone Rollin' - the Life Is Good Festival 2012 artist list was published this past week, and it got me thinking about last year's amazing weekend!  I have volunteered at the Canton, MA festival for the past 2 years, and am planning to be there again this year.  I tweeted @ Raphael and a few other musicians that I was excited to see them perform last year, and he started following me back (@RayRaySaadiq) - I invited Raphael over to the facepainting tent but he didn't respond ;-)  Robert Randolph & the Family Band retweeted that tweet, as well. #twitterdork

#WhatchaListeningTo Wednesday

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?

In the Studio with Radio 92.9

I was invited into the Radio 92.9 studios today to record intros for "My Playlist" - it was my first time doing anything in a recording studio of any kind, and it was a pretty cool experience.  Plus, I left with an awesome 92.9 slap-bracelet-beer-koozie, so, overall, everyone won today ;-) Thanks again to Jason and Ken for inviting me in!

Here's my playlist! Check it.

Blues Traveler - But Anyway
Florence and the Machine - Shake It Out
Cake - Long Time
The Airborne Toxic Event - Changing
...and, rounding out my list: The Black Keys - Gold On the Ceiling

So, when can you hear my beautiful voice on the radio, you ask?  Jason will tell you:
