Songs of the Day: Middle Brother, Rosie and Me, Aloe Blacc.

Middle Brother-Blue Eyes



"Middle Brother is an American rock band consisting of songwriters and musicians John J. McCauley III of Deer Tick, Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes, and Matt Vasquez of Delta Spirit." Holy crap, that's awesome!


Rosie and Me-Bonfires



It's a couple years old, but I still really like this Bird and Whale album.


Aloe Blacc-Green Lights



I'm glad Aloe jumped into a time machine in the 60s, and came to our time. He has a very old school soulful voice, that I just dig.

Songs of the Day: James Vincent McMorrow, The Maine, Dia Frampton.

James Vincent McMorrow-We Don't Eat



James recently released a new EP, titled We Don't Eat. It's a very top-notched EP. To me, he's like an Irish Bon Iver. They both have this kind of lonely soulful voice and style; like they're in the woods somewhere singing to themselves, and we're just happen to be listening. It's a weird description, but that's as best as I can describe it.


The Maine-Misery



Again, you can definitely hear how mature these guys have become. That's a good thing. I've been listening to The Maine since the beginning, and to hear them now reminds me of how much I've grown too.


Dia Frampton-Daniel



Oh Dia, I'm flattered you wrote a song about me. Daniel is from Dia's first solo album, titled Red. Hopefully, this doesn't mean the end of Meg & Dia, that band still rocks. I'm glad she got more famous after The Voice.

Songs of the Day: Isaac Russell, Angus and Julia Stone, SBTRKT ft. Little Dragon.

Isaac Russell-Golden



One of my favorite new artist.


Angus and Julia Stone-And The Boy



Their music is getting a lot more plays on TV shows. Finally, the TV is getting smarter.


SBTRKT-Wildfire ft. Little Dragon



I feel so cool, when I listen to this song.

Songs of the Day: The New Limb, The Steelwells, Polaris At Noon.

The New Limb-Work I've Done



I've posted songs from The New Limb before, these guys are awesome. Lauren is really hot and so is her voice, and Joey's voice reminds me a little of Brandon Flowers from The Killers. But don't get me wrong, they totally have their own sound and originality.


The Steelwells-Our Fabled Little Rabits



I really like this music video.


Polaris At Noon-On



In addition to his own stuff, Jason Suwito does some really great remixes of songs, by other great artists and bands. Some includes Adele, Young The Giant, White Arrows, and Thrice.

Songs of the Day: Halos, Hyde & Beast, The Midway State.

Halos-Amalgam



I get a Brand New vibe from these guys, and that's a compliment. Also, the girl in this video is freakin' hott.


Hyde & Beast-You Will Be Lonely



Another great two man band!


The Midway State-Atlantic



Very fantastic find!

Songs of the Day: Youngblood Hawke, Erin Martin, Wild Child.

Youngblood Hawke-Dannyboy



I love any song with my name in the title.


Erin Martin-Balloon



I saw Erin performing on The Voice, and instantly fell in love with her voice, looks, and style. It's cool that The Voice lets "professionals" in the competition.


Wild Child-The Tale Of You & Me



Amazing duet voices. Also the instruments is quite fantastic in this song.

Songs of the Day; Isaac Russell, Dawes, Of Monsters and Men.

Isaac Russell-House of Cards



I've been wanted to post this song for a while, from Isaac Russell. But there was never a full version of it on Youtube. Now there is, so I thought I would share.


Dawes-Million Dollar Bill



Newish song from Dawes. I love the lyrics.


Of Monsters and Men-Little Talks



I've posted this song before, but I just found this live version that I really like. Once again, if you're not aware of the public radio station, KEXP, then get aware.

Songs of the Day: Automatic Loveletter, Jenny Owen Youngs, Casey Veggies.

Automatic Loverletter-Unhearted



I saw my girl Juliet Simms on the premiere of The Voice last night. I was so surprise to see her. I've been crushing on her for a while now, because she looks and sounds sexy as hell. I hope she does well on the show, just like my other girl Dia Frampton (Meg & Dia) last season.


Jenny Owen Youngs-Here Is A Heart



I wanted to post her song Pirates, but I was only able find the live acoustic version. This one is still good too, among many others. Check out her other song, Your Apartment, too.


Casey Veggies-Can I Live feat. Mac Miller



See, I don't just listen to indie and alt. stuff.

Artist Focus: SOL

I first of heard of Sol about year ago. I saw videos of him performing on KEXP, which is a very awesome public radio station, that plays mostly indie and alternative music. Anyway, he blew my mind. This guy is lyrically talented, true hip-hop. Check out all of his stuff, old and new.

This Shit




2020




Yours Truly




Need Your Love

Songs of the Day: Jhameel, Hannah Georgas, Eli "Paperboy" Reed.

Jhameel-Shut Up



Finally the full version is out! A while back, my friend Katie showed me the teaser video. I was like, "30 seconds?! I need to see more!" Jhameel is awesome, his songs are very exciting. He also screams and have these crazy dance moves. Check out the video, you'll know what I mean.


Hannah Georgas-Chit Chat



I've recommended Hannah Georgas multiple times on my blog. Her songs are mostly cute and bubbly, but it's more like indie cute and bubbly.


Eli "Paperboy" Reed-Come And Get



I'm glad Eli is keeping that 60s Motown sound alive. He puts his own modern twist to it, and I think it connects well to both the older and younger generations.

Songs of the Day: Ben Taylor, Girl Named Toby, The Broken West.

Ben Taylor-Wicked Way



This song has a lot of honesty. Some guys do operate with the only intention of sex. The crazy thing is, if a girl heard this song, she might like it, even though the lyrics may not be agreeable.


Girl Named Toby-Holding A Heart



I love the music and lyrics. It's really sweet.


The Broken West-Perfect Games



I dig the originality of this group, haven't heard a sound like them.
