Songs of the Day: The Paper Kites, OneRepublic, Ellie Goulding.

The Paper Kites-Paint



I literally like every song from The Paper Kites. That's how awesome they are!


OneRepublic-Feel Again



This song has a lot of musical things happening, topped with great vocals.


Ellie Goulding-I Know You Care



Amazing new album from Ellie Goulding! Check out Halcyon.

Songs of the Day: Stars, Ben Howard, Trampled by Turtles.

Stars-The Theory of Relativity



I didn't know Stars had a new album. Anyway, it's called "The North".


Ben Howard-Black Flies




Trampled by Turtles-Alone



I'm a sucker for the banjo. Good bands in general.

Songs of the Day: Benjamin Francis Leftwich, NEEDTOBREATHE, M. Ward.

Benjamin Francis Leftwich-Atlas Hands



This song is perfect.


NEEDTOBREATHE-Keep Your Eyes Out




M. Ward-Primitive Girl

Artist Focus: Bad Books

Bad Books is an indie supergroup composed of Kevin Devine and the band Manchester Orchestra. I don't know the reasoning behind this combination, because I think individually they're already talented. So naturally, combining the two would take their awesomeness to a whole new level, which it has. They have an album this year titled, "II", which I have been listening to nonstop. Check it out:

Forest Whitaker




It Never Stops




Pyotr

Songs of the Day: Vacationer, Reptar, Alexander.

Vacationer-Everyone Knows




Reptar-Three Shining Suns




Alexander-Truth

Songs of the Day: Tennis, Body Language, Givers.

Tennis-My Better Self



The "Young And Old" album is awesome! Alaina Moore has such a sweet voice.


Body Language-You Can



Calming and cool.


Givers-Ripe



The Givers is such an awesome band. The whole "In Light" album is amazing.

Songs of the Day: The Neighbourhood, Charlie Mars, The Staves.

The Neighbourhood-Female Robbery




Charlie Mars-I Do I Do




The Staves-Tongue Behind My Teeth

Songs of the Day: Frightened Rabbit, Madi Diaz, Dog Is Dead. (150th Post!)

Frightened Rabbit-State Hospital



What I like about Scott Hutchison's voice is you can totally hear his deep Scottish accent when he's singing.


Madi Diaz-Down We Go



Madi Diaz has really gotten better. Not that she wasn't already great in the first place.


Dog Is Dead-Talk Through The Night

Songs of the Day: The Heartbreaks, Pilot Speed, Bridgit Mendler.

The Heartbreaks-Polly



I get a 80ish vibe from this song.


Pilot Speed-Bluff



I first started listening to Pilot Speed after hearing one of their other song, called "Alright."


Bridgit Mendler-Ready or Not



This song is a feel good song. Bridgit reminds me a little of Natasha Bedingfield, which is a good thing.

Gregory Alan Isakov-Big Black Car




Lee Hester-Crash




Anthony Salari-Stupid Pretty Girl
