For nearly as long as I’ve been aware of current music, I’ve loved the Goo Goo Dolls. I was as ardent a fan as was possible without regular access to the internet… and while Iris was greatly overplayed, I loved Slide and Black Balloon (wow, that was a LONG time ago, you guys!), and I [...]
Hat tip to Junshien for this one… I’d never actually heard about Matthew Mayfield until reading through my twitter feed yesterday, but he’s apparently had a couple songs on Grey’s Anatomy (say what you will about smutty TV shows, a lot of them have awesome soundtrack pickers on staff) that were really popular, etc. Now [...]
Florence + The Machine is hardly an obscure find—their stuff has had a solid indie following for years and have been featured on a lot of TV soundtracks (more and more a great place to find music) and the like. In any case, until a few days ago, I knew about Florence Welch… now I [...]
Although I knew about The Wreckers, the first time I was really aware of them was during an episode of One Tree Hill. The girls guest starred on the show and performed a few songs for an in-story concert. I liked Michelle Branch back in her Are You Happy Now? days, when I was spending [...]
I think I like this. I think I like it quite a lot. First single from Gary Go’s self-titled debut, Wonderful. I like the lyrics.
I really liked OneRepublic’s Too Late to Apologize, overplayed though it was, and then wasn’t crazy about their next single… I can’t even remember what it was called, which should tell you something. This song though–good stuff. Mainly, I just like it when people use interesting vocabulary in their lyrics, and “apathy” is as good [...]
I figured I should probably take a moment to give mainstream music a nod at some point, so here we go. Perhaps somewhat predictably, I love Coldplay, especially their most recent album. I wasn’t a huge fan of Viva la Vida, but there are several other songs on the disc that I thought were brilliant. [...]
Okay, so I admit… I mostly like this song because the guy’s voice comes through so definitely Scottish in a few places. Other than that though, at some point while I was listening to his cute accent, the song grew on me too. Very mellow, a little bit folksy. I made a brief foray into [...]
I’ve been intrigued by Patrick Park ever since I heard the song Something Pretty on The OC. That was a couple of years ago though, and I’m just now discovering this album. Although you could call his songs a little repetitive, the lyrics are quite interesting and there’s enough variation that the songs start to [...]
I was digging through my car today looking for something good to listen to, nearly despairing, when I came up with nothing other than the Twilight Soundtrack. Since it had recently made my list of albums I like nearly all the way through, I popped it in and, hey, it’s still good! Most people when [...]
