Now Playing: I’m From Barcelona – “Always Spring”

22 Nov

I’m not going to go as far and say they are my new favorite band but I’m From Barcelona are making this week in music so awesome.  I’ve been jamming out to their 2011 record, Forever Today and am hooked to the song “Always Spring” in addition to many more.  Hailing from Sweden, the 29 member band (yes, twenty nine!) toting every instrument including kazoos are a band you should check out.

Now Playing: @GLove – “On 9/11/01” – #NeverForget

11 Sep

Today is a day we remember and never forget. 11 years since that terrible, tragic day and shortly after I head this track from G. Love and have listened to it every September 11 since.  A tip of the hat once again the maestro, Garrett Dutton, for penning a song so meaningful.

The lyrics:
Flags flown at half mast
To remember all the lives past and gone
Before their time had come
From a hijacker’s crash
A terrible blast
A building collapses
and falls to the ground

Who would have known?

So long and hard to make
So easy to break
Foundations quake
To rock your world

Planes exploding in the sky
No one knows the reasons why
Make me wanna cry

How hard it is
to protect yourself
from hatred
you cant understand
dedication to destruction
is their unholy plan
No corporate scenes
they move in a mist
try to shake their hands
while their slicing your wrists
killers beyond comprehensions of our minds
how cowards could burn up blood in the skies
blood in our eyes
on 9-11-01

Planes exploding in the sky
No one knows the reasons why
Hold my little baby tight
make me wanna cry
and find a way
to carry on

New York City on lock down
The whole east coast on lock down
Hold your family close on lock down

Our country mourns the day
so many bright lights
young live were
taken away
forever and ever
And No one can replace
and how can i forget this day

Planes exploding in the sky
No one knows the reasons why
Hold my little baby tight
make me wanna cry

Planes exploding in the sky
On 9-11-01
The day the devils died
To kill our loved ones
hold my little baby tight
On 9-11-01
Make me wanna cry
and find a way
to carry on

Happy Birthday MJ!

29 Aug

Today would have been Michael Jackson’s 54th birthday. MTV did a great job with their piece HERE on the King of Pop’s year in pop music and the influence he still has on us. Check it out.

As for me, thanks MJ for giving us music that will always live on and bring smiles to millions.

Now Playing: The Weeks

12 Jul

Two words: The Weeks

Who? An indie rock band from Mississippi

What?  A kick-ass Southern Rock outfit ready to get you jamming.

Why you should listen? Because my brother said so!  Well he did turn me on to them and we have been getting ourselves caught up on their albums Comeback Cadillac and Rumspringa EP for the last couple of weeks. Both of which are awesome.

A reason you’ll be excited:  Gutter Gaunt Gangster, their new EP out this fall (but you can get it here) and the evolution of this band can definitely be heard (check the lead single “House We Grew Up In”) but please do yourself a favor and start at the beginning before jumping up to the present.

Why I’m excited: Because Southern Rock is making a fiery resurgence and these seasoned kids should be rising the ranks very fast. They’ve been around for some time and I’m just thrilled to now have their music in my library and be able to enjoy this.

If you like: Kings of Leon, North Mississippi and AWOLNATION

Final thoughts: If you live in the southeast you have no reason not to see this band live.  If you live west of the Mississippi, we all need to do what we can to get these fellas out to the left coast so they can bring their sound to the masses.

Now Playing: White Arrows – Dry Land Is Not A Myth

21 Jun

Been lagging a bit on posts this week but have no fear, back and ready to rock.  Lately I’ve been really digging White Arrows and this week, their debut album, Dry Land Is Not A Myth, was released and one you need to get on asap.  What’s really cool about this album, RAC produced it! Yup!  So take the LA kids with the remix geniuses and what you get is an explosive album of nonstop party tracks that will certainly be on your soundtrack of the summer.

Head over to Spotify and listen to their album.
