My Favorite Highway

This group from WASHINGTON D.C. has a nice blend of up beat pop/rock-ness, the first time I sampled their newest album "How to Call a Bluff" I played the whole thing at least 5X in a row, because the songs were soo catchy!!! (+eyecandy)

My favorite thing about watching them and listening to them is that they have a charming and yet silly quality. In their music video for "Say So", one of the members is dressed as a moose. NUFF SAID!! haha just playing, but you know this is just my opinion, and why they added up to be a favorite is beyond my capabilities to explain.

STRAIGHT NO CHASER.

Who doesn't admire pure collaboration of talent? These guys are incredible! If you have heard of the King's singers and dig the a capella sort of music...then check Straight no chaser out.

Personally I'm not a big fan of X-Mas music, although I have to sing it all the time for choir and such... nyeh, but they pulled this off leaving my mind blown!!!

Matt White again?

On that note, I have one of the catchiest indie bands I've ever heard...locally grown in Austin, Texas!

I found this band before stumbling upon the artist Matt White... strange?? yea.. it was a long time ago.. before YOUTUBE EXISTED!!!

Anyways, check out this sound!!

Thats the album cover for their album, Burn Out Bright!

Don't forget to support the local artists!! Oh.. and of course the well known ones!! Keep them coming!

Hope everyone had a nice lil mini break...

I had a tragedy and disappointment occur before last summer, and that was when my external hard drive completely crashed. It was the only place where my music was saved and I was very upset over that. But, a miracle happened because this year around September, I decided to give it another try. I plugged that baby in and it started right up! Good news is that I have all my music back! During that time, was a down period in my music obsession, because I didn't want to find new artists or else I would feel the need to download and buy their music. If I did that though, I would have no other means of saving it. BUT, if I happened to stumble upon new music and artists that I liked, I wrote the name down on my white board and just kept a lil list.

This catchy song will be stuck in my head for the rest of the month..

They come they take
It’s never enough because they can’t relate
To the real world
Thinking that the oyster is just for the pearl
They start those wars
They want to own the land sea and all the stars
And right those wrongs
They change their history with their poison forked tongues.
All right, who’s they?
A: Maybe it’s the government of today
Or B: for the big business man who thinks the whole world revolves around him
Or C: for the corrupt official for A and B he be the man in the middle
Or D: for discoverer for Cook and Columbus and the pirate plunderers.

Doesn’t mean I ain’t got no fight now just because I don’t got a gun
The lyrical is heavier than lead and this guitar is my canon
Just like Martin and Mahatma I’m gonna love I’m gonna over come
Maybe its E: for all of the above but I don’t want to be…

Wrong way going down the one-way road wrong way going down the one-way road
Wrong way going down the one-way road gonna turn it all around gonna back it on up
Wrong way going down the one-way road wrong way going on a one-way road
Wrong way going down the one-way road gonna turn it all around gonna back it on up

These men who they say we should follow BUT we can’t follow men if their hearts are hollow and
Mmmm yes how can we respect puppet regimes we do not elect?
Straight up straight up like Pinocchio and every time they lie man the fire just grows so
Now’s time to be part of the solution raise your fist if you believe in revolution

Doesn’t mean I ain’t got no fight now just because I don’t got a gun
The lyrical is heavier than lead and this guitar is my canon
Just like Martin and Mahatma I’m gonna love I’m gonna over come
Maybe its E for all of the above but I don’t want to be....

Living in a pantomime living in a fantasy
I don’t want to be don’t want to be I don’t want to be don’t want to be no
Living in a pantomime living in a fantasy
I don’t want to be don’t want to be I don’t want to be don’t want to be...

Wrong way going down the one-way road wrong way going down the one-way road
Wrong way going down the one-way road gonna turn it all around gonna back it on up
Wrong way going down the one-way road wrong way going on a one-way road
Wrong way going down the one-way road gonna turn it all around gonna back it on up

Absense makes the heart grow fonder..

Guess what I stumbled upon browsing through youtube? Another band! They say not to judge cds by the cover and I did, and I'm glad I did because this band is really good! I'm really surprised that they are not even more popular. You might have heard them before, if you watch One Tree Hill...or if you are fans of Paramore because they toured with them..

I like them because they find a good balance with electronica, ambience, and indie pop

Oh ya BTW they just came out with a new album, Absense, in April of 2009.
