10 Things: Now Playing

By on February 15, 2013 in Music

Radio is so dire these days that I generally open my itunes, push play and let it go. Having said that though, I’m definitely going through an Indie Folk Rock stage and there are some bands that seem to see more airtime than others.

In no particular order, both old and new, here’s a list of 10 songs from some of my most played bands/artists:

  1. The Funeral – Band of Horses
  2. 40 Day Dream – Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
  3. The A Team – Ed Sheeran
  4. Stubborn Love – The Lumineers
  5. Little Talks – Of Monsters and Men
  6. God of Small Things – Thomas Krane
  7. Thistle & Weeds – Mumford & Sons
  8. On The Outside Looking In – Alison Krauss & Union Station
  9. Jolene – Zac Brown Band / Ray LaMontagne (slightly more depressing)
  10. This is Why We Fight – The Decemberists

Share The Love

By on January 14, 2013 in Music

There’s no doubt that Mumford & Sons are part of the mainstream consciousness and there are a whole bunch of well known indie folk rock bands out there; Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, The Decemberists and Bon Iver to name a few.

I figured I’d share another two favourites of mine and spread the love.

Lana Del Ray – Born To Die

By on January 25, 2012 in Music

Lana Del Ray reminds me of a contemporary version of Vera Lynn and Edith Piaff and her voice ignites images of a rather melancholy old-time America in my head. I loved Video Games and if it’s possible I may just grow to like her latest single even more. In any case I’m not going to wax lyrical about her, what you think is up to you.
