Tuesdays "Obsessed" List. (aka bumbershoot withdrawals)

As mentioned in the title, this tuesday evening is all about obsession. Specifically, the tunes I have been jammin to the past week or so, the tunes I can really jam out to. Hold on to your socks, here they come... 1. Hearts Like Our - The Naked and Famous

For some reason I had this idea that this band was some sort of emo/whiny voice band. I have no clue what that's about. Anyway, by hearing this song on accident I discovered, I love their sound. This indie band from Auckland has a synthpop vibe that is right up my alley. This is one of those songs you blast while shaking your fists in an intense but passionate manner.... but maybe not while riding the train home from work. 2. Beta Love - Ra Ra Riot

I've loved Ra Ra Riot for awhile now. I know this album has been getting a lot of flack, but you know what... I don't care. I hadn't heard this new album a until a few weeks ago when a dear friend pressed play. It is a song that lifts spirits and gets people dancing. We saw them live at bumbershoot that weekend and they killed it. Vocals were spot on, and even sitting in stadium seat I just wanted to get up and dance. Later that night we pressed play one more time for an impromptu living room dance party... yepp we loved it that much. 3. Photobooth - Death Cab for Cutie

My favorite show of bumbershoot! It was great to see Death Cab playing the Transatlanticism album all the way through. They were great live, as always. After they finished playing the Transatlanticism set they played a few more favorites, including; 405, Crooked Teeth, Cath, and, of course, Photobooth. Photobooth is one of those songs I kind of forget about sometimes but every time I rediscover it, it's a mad love affair. Thanks and until next time!
