Busy Bee

super busy with work and figuring ish out so I can get everything done before school starts. I still have time for music so here are some current faves you should check out.


Matt Costa - Mr. Pitiful
Older song and is currently on a mac commercial I believe. This is one of those songs you forgot about and rediscovered. (I love that)

Breathe - Lightning Dust
Love this band. I am really enjoying the whole album.

At Your Door - Alexi Murdoch
I had one of his songs from an oc mix (orange sky).... anyway, I love that song so I decided to dl more of his stuff. I love his voice, devine. (and devine is not a word I use.)

Shout-Outs and Other

I wanted to dedicate this post to friends on Last.fm
I have been finding new music I love like crazy thanks to you guys!

Soulofasailor got me checking out Sam Cooke and Muddy Waters. I knew that both artists are icons and classics but never really thought about listening to them. Thanks for the inspiration.

ilikeducks got me to check out Balmorhea and Message to Bears. Love both of these ambient sounds. If you like instrumental stuff you should definitely check both of these bands out. Also Message to Bears have a lot of free downloads on Last.fm (Link at the top)
ps Also I think when I first started using last.fm back in the day you told me to listen to Feist because I would love her.... I OWE YOU MY LIFE.


AaronCXS Got me listening to Yo La Tengo more. I had heard of them before but didnn't really get into them until recently. Also, The Mountain Goats. If you haven't checked them out yet then you need to, NOW.

The_Remy There are countless bands and artists you have introduced me to, they would fill up the whole page. Most recently I am thanking you for introducing me to Kay Kay and His Weathered Underground Now I am super excited to see them at Bumbershoot!

ciaobonefish thank you for introducing me toAu Revoir Simone I have two of their albums and love them both.... if they have more I want them haha.





SO yeah, thanks everyone for expanding my music library.... seriously you are amazing.

Songs for the week

Fools Paradise - Sam Cooke

Really diggin' his four disc collection. Just so amazing.

Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want - She & Him

Cover of The Smiths. This is from the soundtrack to 500 Days of Summer. I liked the movie but the soundtrack is better. This is a good cover too.

Little Bit - Lykke Li

Can't remember if I have posted this song before but it's just so good. I love the lyrics and her voice is so pure. Also check out the music video if you haven't already.

Honey Honey - Feist
Feist is one of my favorite artists. This song shows off her talent by being beautiful and haunting. I can't pick favorites when it comes to her songs but this would probably be one of them.

Far away I get the feeling I belong

A new week!
I will forget all of my troubles and immerse myself in music.

OK so these songs are not going to be new but songs that I have loved for awhile and feel like sharing them with you now. You have probably heard them but there is nothing wrong with re-visiting favorites.


Pretty Girl From San Diego - The Avett Brothers
Well I love the whole Avett Brothers album, Emotionalism. Seriously it one of my favorite albums.


Mykonos - Fleet Foxes
I am OBSESSED with this song. It's amazing all the way around. The vocals are untouchable. I really want to see this band live.

A Movie Script Ending (acoustic version) - Death Cab

So it's classic death cab song stripped down. This version is from the soundtrack to Wicker Park (ok movie... amazing soundtrack, check it out)
This song is bittersweet and romantic and this slower version only enhances these emotions.


Ok... Have a good week everyone!!!
