Song Recommendations
Every so often I get a strong urge through music. I’m usually one who plays a cd until the thing wears out. While I’m not one who (for lack of a better word) dedicates himself to music like a couple of my friends, I do however, enjoy a good song. I have been making a habit of using my phone to write down songs I hear throughout the day. Its nice when at work because we listen to radio.aol.com, so we have a whole slew of stations to choose from. Most of my coworkers like to listen to the old rock, maybe sometimes the pop stations. All fine by me, but once everyone leaves for the day, I usually have a few hours left to switch it on over to the indie stations.
So far, here are some of the songs that were recommended to me and/or I heard.
1. The Wombats - Joy of Division
Heard this one on radio.aol.com, and I have to admit it hooked me from the start. I picked up their CD and they sound really good. “Kill the Director” is supposedly their more-known song.
2. One for the Team - Best Supporting Actor
A song my friend Jake recommended me. In fact, recommended the entire CD. They’re a group from Minneapolis and I was going to buy their one-song on iTunes, but I was able to pick up their entire album from iTunes Plus (DRM-Free) for $5.99. A sweet deal. I still have to give them more playtime before I can make a decision but this song and “You Know Culture” have me so far.
3. MGMT - Time to Pretend
I swore I heard this song somewhere before. But hey, its awesome.
4. Dear & The Headlights - Talk About
I really liked Dear & The Headlights debut album Small Steps, Heavy Hooves and this song is off their most recent album out September 30th. Don’t quite know what to make of this song, but I thought I might as well post it because I am going to give it a chance. I have high hopes for this band.
5. Lily Allen covers The Kooks - Naive
I believe its pretty safe to say that the Kooks have hit the big time. I like the Kooks, but Lily Allen took one of their great songs and made it better, one reason being that its Lily Allen.
There you have it. Just a few songs I’m listening to. Now all I must do is ask that you return the favor.
