Oh Valentine's Day. So basically here's a mix of all songs good that I listened to yesterday. There were others as well, but I haven't transferred them from my iPod to my computer yet, so sorry... Anyways, these songs are really just the best of the best. I would say I was feeling the Sounds the most yesterday, and of course Tennis because when am I not listening to them. But here are some others. My Valentine's mix. Like a mix tape, but I mean less cool because it's not a tape, this is a blog. Duh. And for once I'm using pink players. Damn I really know how to work a theme.

And this is pure love

Tennis - Long Boat Pass


John Mellencamp - Hurt So Good. Obviously.


Bittersweet - The Mating Game


Black Joe Lewis & The Honey Bears - Bitch, I Love You

In Our Talons

There has been a lot of 80's style coming back. And I'm all for leotards, neon colors, sweat bands, and rubik's cubes. So this band is Twin Shadow. I usually do a blurb but I'm just too lazy. Listen and enjoy. That's about it. The song is Castle in the Snow.


This next band has an accordion and accordions are cool, so I love them. Obviously. Bowerbirds is the name, accordion is the game. In Our Talons by Bowerbirds.


Black Mountain really kind of has a lot going on I would say. The song is Wucan


This next song makes me not want to listen to my other songs, it's that good. Foster the People- Pumped Up Kicks. Thank you Alex Meyer.


Yacht- Psychic City


This next band is from Chicago and is doing great things. More on the Indie side, so fantastic. This is off their current album, Dye It Blonde. There I finally wrote a little background information. This is the Smith Westerns - Weekend

And every day I waited for you, and every day, on the top of your car.

Music. Quick!

Portugal. The Man - Dead Dog


The Drums - Down By The River


The Drums - Best Friend


Kleerup ft. Lykke Li - Until We Bleed


So I usually add more background and stuff... but I just don't have time. I'm going snowcat skiing this weekend and have tests to study for. I know wow, crazy life! Anyways, I'll be faster next round.

Oh hey. So as I'm sitting in physics looking at Calvin and Hobbes, I was told to update my blog by my roommate Sonia. So as always, you may have heard this songs and maybe not. Who knows? But I like these songs and I'll probably add a new blog during my radio show tonight. Hold tight.

The Dodos is probably one of my favorite bands. It has crazy instrumentals, some epic guitar and sweet sweet vocals and lyrics. All around it is just a pretty badass band that I enjoy listening to. The Dodos consists of Meric Long and Logan Kroeber and combines Long's training in West African Ewe drumming and Kroeber's metal influence to really bring out the guitar and drumming. Seriously will blow your mind. This song, The Season was pretty much the song I listened to whenever I had downtime in my stay in Seattle. If I was listening to music, I was listening to the Dodos. Duh.
Also check out, Jodi... well just every song really.



Aloe Blacc doesn't have much discography. He's signed with Epic for the UK and Ireland. Youtube, with all its links led me to clicking on his video for "I Need A Dollar" and really it's great. So take a listen. Some background info, he used to be in the group Emanon, but now he's not.



Beach House is a band from Baltimore, Maryland that is more of a chill band, along the lines of Band of Horses... I think. I found them at my radio show last year because we have to play 2 songs every hour from the rack of new cds. Basically epic. They have also been compared to that of Nico, which I know from "The Royal Tenenbaums" by Wes Anderson. Check out These Days by Nico. Listen below to "Norway" by them. The song Zebra is also one of my favorites.



This band, Tennis is just awesome. I myself like to enjoy a good game of tennis, but due to my lack of dedication I'm still just average. But whatever, my racket it badass and it's a good way to just kick it in the summer when I'm not doing research, running, or working. Hollah. Anyways this band actually has this perfect song called marathon, which is really perfect because I play tennis and I've ran a marathon. Check that out! So this band is actually from Denver, well started playing music in Denver. They sailed around, husband and wife, and wrote songs at sea. Basically epic and they are the new thing. I'm telling you.



The Young Coyotes are another Denver band. I'm about to go running so this is going to get short but just listen to them. I'm really pleased with this band. In fact I just used some of my iTunes gift cards to buy their music. This song is called "The Sun Continues to Reach Me"



And because I like all sorts of music, here's some french music for your listening pleasure! Tryo is a french reggae band. This info is copied from Wikipedia because I'm lazy now.


Tryo is a French language 'unplugged' reggae acoustic band, popular in Europe and in Quebec, with three French guitarists, a Latin American percussionist, and a producer: Guizmo, Christophe Mali, Manu Eveno, Daniel "Danielito" Bravo and Bibou.

Tryo are popular in France partly due to their politically charged lyrics, whilst also showing a fun side with a range of humorous songs, especially in live performances.

They take a left wing stance, criticising various French politicians such as Charles Pasqua (named in corruption scandals concerning suburban low cost housing or HLM) and Jean-Marie Le Pen and world leaders (George W. Bush, for example) in their music. The band has a "tolerant" view on cannabis, demonstrated by 'La Main Verte' from the 'Mamagubida' album. Drug references are reduced in their later albums.

Oh yeah check this out. His Orchestra "Attached" 

Oren Lavie was born in Tel Aviv and grew up in Israel. His video for Her Morning Elegance, song below, is fantastic. 

The Capitol Years is a group from Philadelphia that hit the scene in July 2001. That's really about all the info I have at this point. This song is "You Can Stay There" 

We drink our wine, and wonder why we're really here

So I'm not going to be giving that much info because really I have stuff to do not that I'm not on a six week winter break. Here's some good stuff.

This song is the basis for my blog. It's called Building and Mountains by The Republic Tigers.


Dreaming by Seapony


My friend Anna showed me the song Open Hearts by the Longcuts.
