Atlas Genius — Trojans
There it is. My favorite new band of the past 2 weeks. Farewell to my free XM, until next time.
And that’s it for Good Morning Music for this week! See you on the 11th… i’ll be at the beach! Happy Beach-eve Friday!
Kimbra feat. Mark Foster & A-Trak — Warrior
I have approximately 2 seconds for this today, since it’s apparently Death By Meetings. This song: super-catchy. Has a good beat, i’ll probably add it to my go-to running playlist. Also in case you didn’t recognize the name: Kimbra is the feat. on Gotye’s Somebody That I Used to Know.
Is it beach time yet?? Happy Thursday!

Of Monsters and Men — Little Talks
Got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning (I’m actually blaming it on the rain. What a gloomy day.) I’ve had the horn section from this song stuck in my head off and on & it played on the drive in this AM to perk me up a bit. (Though at second glance, it’s not the cheery tune it seems to be. The lyrics are kinda depressing.)
COMPLETELY OFF TOPIC SIDE NOTE: Because I was supremely curious, I looked up the origin of the phrase ‘got up on the wrong side of the bed’. It comes from a superstition that dates back all the way to the Romans that doing anything ‘left’ is unlucky — eg, putting on your left shoe first, walking into a house left foot first, getting up on the left side of the bed.
Happy Wednesday!

Collective Soul — Staring Down
The opinion on the Internets about this album seems to be that “Collective Soul is back!!1!” and I may have to agree. That terrible album after Dosage was so mis that I apparently missed another terrible album after that, since I was so busy ignoring CS. But this: this is good.
Happy Tuesday! (I started typing Monday there, before I stopped myself. I’m going to be doing that all week, aren’t I.)

Animal Kingdom — Strange Attractor
So these guys are new to me. I keep wanting to call them Animal Collective (because that’s another band?). They’re fun. They sort of remind me of Passion Pit, only with more bass.
Also today is Friday! Friday of a long weekend! Work is pretty much the last place I want to be right now. Happy 3-day weekend Friday!

Alabama Shakes — Hold On
Morning full of meetings, sorry i’m late. Bit of a frustrating sort of day. Homestretch, though. Happy Thursday.

Jason Mraz — I Won’t Give Up
Guess whaaaaat, it’s that time again! Free XM for two weeks! Today is just for relearning which channels are awesome; be prepared for fun, new music soon.
Also, PSA: Sherlock season 2 is out on DVD *today.* Tough decision ahead of me: regular or Blu-ray?
Happy Wednesday!

Carly Rae Jespen — Call Me Maybe
So I just heard this song for the first time last weekend. Yeah, I don’t ever listen to the radio, so I’m a bit behind the times with my crappy pop music. But DANG if this song isn’t catchy!
(I am slightly ashamed that I like this song. But just the appropriate amount for a wannabe hipster.)
Happy Tuesday!

Knee Deep — Zac Brown Band (Feat. Jimmy Buffett)
So tough to get up and get going this AM. And consequently have been running a bit behind all day. Still, it’s been a good day. *fingers crossed* for the sun to poke out from behind the clouds so I can do a little poolside sittin’ after work today…
Happy Monday!

Chevelle — Still Running
And now to completely switch musical gears, let’s take a trip back to undergrad when this is what I listened to. Still my favorite Chevelle album, too.
(Side note: glad to see Chris Lane Band is getting some likes!)
Happy Wednesday!
