We're only here to find the love that lingers after...

Day 19 -A song from your favorite album

Coeur D'Alene - The Head and the Heart

I fell in love with these guys a little while ago after itunes recommended them after I bought an Avett Brothers cd. Since then I've been listening non stop! The cd as a whole is amazing, I can sit and listen to the whole thing from start to finish without getting tired of a single song. After I find a band I love I look them up on youtube to see if they're any good live. When I looked these guys up I found this video. HOLY CHEESE BATMAN! They blew my mind. How does a band sound this great live?! Needless to say, I HAVE to marry an indie folk guy! I couldn't date a guy if he told me he didn't like this stuff. Yeah, I'm serious... I once dated a guy who pretty much only listened to Disney music. Shoot me in the face! Luckily I know a pretty wicked awesome kid who will let me talk music with him. He even uses words like coolio and gnarly. He doesn't know it but I pretty much adore him. And this is what my life has become, I judge a guy by the music he likes. I think I'm obsessed...

Love and Rockets,

p.s. 43 days until I'm back here...

Day 18 - A song that you wish you heard on the radio

....

If you read my blog you would have read that I hate the radio. I won't get into that again! So instead of requesting a band I adore on the radio just to have them ruined, I'll name drop like crazy here and rest assured that you won't become obsessed and end up having them played on the radio. Bands need recognition, and I realize it's dumb of me to not want to hear them on the radio but want them to get recognition. So NAME DROP!

Check out:

Alexi Murdoch

Andrew Bird

Ben Gibbard (The lead singer from Death Cab For Cutie, also married to Zoey Deschanel. Check out their awesome duet here)

Greg Laswell

The Guggenheim Grotto

The Head and the Heart

Jeff Buckley

Jon Foreman (The lead singer from Switchfoot)

Joshua James

Katie Herzig

Kyle Andrews

Laura Marling

Libbie Linton

The Mollies

Needtobreathe

Nellie McKay

Noah & The Whale

Patrick Park

Phopho Bandits (how could I resist?!)

Ray LaMontagne

Slow Club

The Weepies

I can almost guarantee that if you like one of these bands you will like all of them! So go ahead, I dare you to look up at least 2 of them and see if you can stop after that!

Love and Rockets,

Rodney

p.s. I had my wisdom teeth taken out yesterday, crazy high Kristen on video? Stay tuned!!

Shake That.

Day 17 - A song you hear often on the radio

Party Rock Anthem - LMFAO

I love this song.

When I wasn't able to listen to my ipod in the car I thought I was going to die.

And I just about did.

No I'm not being dramatic.

"Get over it".

I know that's what you're all thinking.

I hate the radio.

I hate the songs on the radio.

If I hear a song I like I start disliking that song.

It has be be a great song,

one that really makes me feel the music,

in order for me to keep enjoying it after I've heard it on the radio.

There's not much to say about this particular song.

Except I'm going to learn how to dance to it,

just like this.

Go watch it,

go dance it,

go shake that!

Love and Rockets,

Rodney
