For Monday
Song Recommendations: Greedy Fly, Bonedriven, Straigh No Chaser, Mouth, Swallowed, Tendency To Start Fires, Personal Holloway
The second and not quite as succesful second album from Bush. I will always remember the video for Greedy Fly as being semi-nightmarish. I also like the different side to Bush. The two songs with the string section, Bonedriven [...]


I’ve added one more to the mix to make it 15. (I had 15 lines on my post-it that I write the mixes on and that extra line was bothering me, so)
1. The National – “Squalor Victoria”: Again, this dude’s voice will put you in a trance. It really makes the band.
2. Rock n’ Roll [...]


Song Recommendations: Domino, Brown Eyed Girl, Jackie Wilson Said (I’m In Heaven When You Smile), Baby Please Don’t Go, Wild Night, And It Stoned Me, Gloria, Warm Love, Sweet Thing, Here Comes The Night
Another classic musician that I have always liked but have never owned an album. I’ve always been a fan, but never got [...]


For Monday

Song Recommendations: Ghost Under Rocks, Oh La, Suspended In Gaffa, A Manner To Act, Dying Is Fine
Yet another indie band I know. But I really DO recommend this one. They were apparently just discovered within the last year playing bars and frat houses at Syracuse University. Known for their energetic shows. A little more [...]


1. My Morning Jacket – “Aluminum Park”: This song shows why I’m a fan of this band. Rockin song that just makes you nod your head at certain points.
2. Pinback – “Good To Sea”: Very cool indie song. I need to get some more of this band. They are quite good.
3. Sufjan Stevens – “Ring [...]


Song Recommendations: Alright, Be Wary Of A Woman, All I Want, Forever Road, Learn To Live
I actually had 2 other albums I wanted to put up today, but due to technical difficulties, were down to Darius Rucker. Not Hootie & The Blowfish Darius Rucker. Not R&B Smooth Darius Rucker. This is stuck-in-a-TenderCrisp-Bacon-Cheddar-Ranch-chicken-sandwich-Burger-King-ad Darius Rucker. Yes [...]


Song Recommendations: Life Is Beautiful, Traffic Jam, Tearing Me Apart, Paper Cuts, Billion Tons Of Light, You & Me
This band has a dumb name, but don’t let that fool ya. They are pretty good. Very catchy. They sound identical to Snow Patrol. It’s weird. They are a little more consistent. I think this is their [...]


Song Recommendations: Shadowlands, Someone Else’s Dream, Lillian Lies, Baby Body, Piece Of Wood
Hey!! Another band from Australia. I thought all they had recently was Wolfmother and Silverchair. Youth group goes in that ever-broad Indie category. I can’t explain all these bands like the professionals can, so I’m gonna describe them as kindof poppish, as I [...]


Song Recommendations: Deliver Me, Ain’t Nothing Wrong With That, Do Yourself A Favor, Love Is The Only Way, Blessed
Continuing on a song from yesterday’s Counting Crows album (except in the opposite way), Robert Randolph & The Family Band’s third album Colorblind brings some cool soul and funk. I saw these guys open for Gov’t Mule [...]


Song Recommendations: Mrs. Potter’s Lullaby, Colorblind, Four Days, Hangin’ Around, St. Robinson In His Cadillac Dreams
This Desert Life is the third release from Counting Crows, and in my opinion ranks about 3rd best among their five studio albums. Most songs are catchy and very Counting Crows. I’m not how to say it, but they are. [...]
