Now Playing: The Dirty Heads – “Believe”
31 AugI was stoked to find out yesterday that The Dirty Heads next single to drop is “Believe.” Not only am I a fan of the reggae, rock band but quite frankly this has been my favorite song of theirs since first hearing Any Port In A Storm. Any music lover should really dig the lyrics, below are two verses from the track. Now give a listen and see for yourself.
Well you never quite forget the first tape you bought
Mine was Naughty by Nature back when OPP was hot
Who’d have thought, that I could ever turn out this way?
I’m blamin’ Ad Rock, Mike D and MCA
Yeah, it was Beasties on my mind pretty much all the time
‘Till I started smokin’ pot and figured out about Sublime
Oh my god, I never wanted somethin’ so badly,
I wanna learn to play guitar and sing just like Bradley.
And the B-lines that Eric dropped reminded me of hip-hop
I’m singin’ lovin’ is what I got, I got, I got…
‘Cause when the lovin’ was gone,
I learned to play the blues through Stevie Ray Vaughn,
I needed music for all the ways it helped me deal,
And now I’m lovin’ my guitar the way that B.B loved Lucille..
“Well Bob Marley was the tune when little J was in the womb,
My mom would put the headphones on her belly feel my move.
And every Jimi Hendrix riff I’d give her a little kick,
Just to let her know to turn it up a little bit.
And please, when I grow up can I sound like Police?
That’s what I was thinkin’ while prayin’ on my knees.
But now that I’m grown, I’ve found a sound of my own,
I’m in the studio now and I feel like I’m home”

17 AugSince hearing this track, I can’t get it out of my head. And I LOVE that they sample Angus & Julia Stone’s “Big Jet Plane.”

Now Playing: Maps & Atlases – Israeli Caves
11 AugAt Lollapalooza I made a slight detour to catch some of Maps & Atlases set at the Google+ Stage and what a great decision this was. The Chicago based troupe had me from the very beginning and I can’t wait to listen to more of these guys. Hear “Israeli Caves” below and I think you’ll be hooked too.

Countdown to Lollapalooza: 1 Day – Foster The People
4 AugFriday, August 5 – Sony Stage, 3:00 p.m.
I don’t care what you are doing at 3 p.m. on Friday, cancel it and make your way to the Sony Stage to see Foster The People. Back in March when they literally had just a three-song EP out, I got to see these guys four nights in a row at Book & Stage at the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas and each show was better than the last. In the months since, their debut LP Torches was released and debuted at #8 on the Billboard 200 Chart, “Pumped Up Kicks” is still riding high 18 or so months after it initially surfaced, they tore apart SXSW, Coachella, Glastonbury and more top festivals, the video for their second single “Helena Beat” dropped, “Houdini” was featured in the premiere episode of Entourage and did I mention that these guys were selling out shows long before any of this occurred? Trust me when I tell you, if you have tickets to Lollapalooza, you better not miss this show.
Here’s my personal favorite off Torches, “Warrant.”

Countdown to Lollapalooza: 2 Days – GROUPLOVE
3 AugSaturday, Aug. 6 – Sony Stage, 12:00 p.m.
I seriously think of all the great bands playing Lollapalooza, I may be most excited about seeing GROUPLOVE. It’s going to be rise and shine early as they kick things off Saturday at noon. Check out the post I wrote back in June and you’ll see why I can’t wait to see these indie rockers who met on the island of Crete. Looking forward to hearing some new tunes off their debut LP, Never Trust A Happy Song which drops in September.

Countdown to Lollapalooza: 3 Days – Muse
2 AugFriday, Aug. 5 – Music Unlimited Stage, 8:15 p.m.
So Muse plays at the same time as Coldplay which should split the festival goers 50/50 if I was to guess but for me the decision is easy, Muse all the way. While it would be great to see Coldplay, I just can’t pass up the opportunity to see Muse let alone perform at a massive festival. I have also heard their live shows are intense. Guess we’ll find out in a few short days!

The past year has flown by and hopefully you’ve all enjoyed the music, concert recaps/reviews, news and more that I’ve been posting. A ton of great new music has been discovered over the past year and I’d like to think some of these bands have some new fans because of your support of DoYouHearTheMusic.com and I thank you for clicking, reading and listening to what I have to share.
