Lost and Found Making Me a Bit adventurous

All this week I have had a weird sense of adventure.  Though it’s been raining after I am pumped to go play and be carefree.   But as always one must consult a loyal companion… my Ipod.  As I was looking a the list I found I song I had just downloaded and have been listening to it non stop.  So tonight’s artist is Kate Herzig.  As I kept listening to the song I began to feel getting pumped to face the impossible.

So as I was ready to face the impossible/blog about it, I looked her up and guess what… she’s a grammy artist!  She was originally born in California but grew up in Fort Collins, Colorado.  She also attended UC Boulder (I really want to got there).  At her time in Boulder she formed a band named Homecomer after recieving an acoustic guitar from her father her senior year.  After playing with them for a few years she began her solo career.  After releasing her first album Watch them Fall TV show such as Grey’s Anatomy and Smallville started using her music on their shows.  Coincidentally I had found tonight’s song, Lost and Found from MTV’s Mob Wives.  Most of her music is influence by folk and a little bit of pop.

This song is great for getting yourself pumped up.  The begginning reminds me alot of Freelance Whale’s Generator. As the song progresses with lyrics a mellow beat comes in and Katie’s strong yet quiet voice ensues.  The lyrics are a little ambiguous but some how leave the listener relating to the words.  The best is in the chorus.  In the chorus we got some synthesizers with some big beats in the back and the inspirational melody.  Basically at the end of this you will feel like going outside and run three miles.  She’s a great singer and I highly reccommend this song to anyone who ever needs a booster it’s right here:

The Shins – Port of Morrow [Review]

Reblogged from Universal Wax:

It's been five years since the well praised Wincing the Night Away and The Shins are back featuring a new line-up with Port of Morrow, arguably their strongest record yet.

Mercers dabblings with Danger Mouse on the superb 2010 Broken Bells record is evident with a slightly more electronic sound bubbling away in the background throughout, it's never at the forefront but it's noticeably subtle – a nice evolution of the sound Mercer has crafted for The Shins.

I am guilty of saying all of this :p

Isn’t it just better when your Free?

For most New Yorkers Spring Break is in full bloom.  With that being said I found a artist/song has the appropriate sound and style.  Tonight’s band is a indy rocking British duo.  Now tonight’s song is all about being free and having fun with no strings attached.

For the occassion tonight’s artist is Graffiti6.  If any of you are familiar with MTV then you have probably already heard some of his music, including tonight’s song Free.  To give a little backround, this group is actually a duo.  The British lead vocals, Jamie Scott and the producer/songwriter Tommy “D” Danvers joined forces in London in 2008.  After meeting and creating song multi-instrumentalist music, Jamie introduced “the folk thing”.  After experimenting they finally created a new sound with their track Stare into the Sun.  Since then their songs won recognition on commercials and MTV.

Tonight’s song is Free.  Even from the funky acoustic guitar entrance to the smooth jazzy vocals. The song lives up to it’s title.  The refreshing base and funky guitar strings makes me feel as though the summer never left.  And may I just say, what a voice Jamie Scott has.  This song reminds me of and ice cold drink on a rather hot summer day.  If your fan of blues, summer music, and jazz you should download this song and put it on repeat:

Free- Graffiti6

Stare into the Sun- Graffiti6

Here’s what’s on repeat

Let me start by saying it has been far to long since I last blogged.  Last time I left off I promised the second playlist which I never really got around to… until now!  So over the course of my extremely bust spring break I started listening to some really poppy songs.  Usually I would overlook these songs but for some reason I have been listening to songs by Jesse J, Niki Minaj, and Carly Jae Jensen. But I have also have a few more inspirations for all my followers.

Here’s what’s on repeat:

Niki Minaj: Starship

Carly Rae Jensen: Call me maybe

LMFAO- Sorry for party rocking

Now that you have a little taste of what I have been doing while I was gone.  Now that I’m back there are new bands and artists and I’m so excited!
