Pretty Lights - Finally Moving

Pretty Lights is sick. I just love this sound. Gotta wish this song could last all day with the way it relaxes with all the instrumentals. Kick it back!

*** Dave Matthews Band - Steady As We Go [Storytellers - VH1] ***

Just hit this song on my shuffle and couldn't get it out of my head. Dave brings so much emotion to music that it's ridiculous, but it isn't just him, its the way the whole band gives everything from the piano to shakers. Simply elegant

Phoenix - 1901 (US Version)

Such a great song. Phoenix has a niche for catching listeners off guard with their surprising vocals. They present themselves as almost a KOL type band, but are a much easier listen and have a uprising energy to their songs.

Chicago Concerts 10/21-23

With it being hump day, lets look forward to the music thats gonna be around Chicago this weekend.  First, Passion Pit kicks things off up north on Thursday at NIU Convocation Center, or if you're staying in the city check out Mushroomhead at The Dead Celebrity Hall.  Friday's a down day for concerts in the city this week, so just go out and have fun.  Some great concerts are taking place on Saturday with The Script at Riviera Theatre, Vanilla Ice performs at Q Billiards & Sports Bar, and finally Deadmau5 at Congress!!! Deadmau5 is also performing on Friday at Congress, but I'd recommend going on Saturday because it's gonna go all night and well into the morning! So do yourself a favor and recover on Sunday.

Pendulum - The Island (F.O.O.L Alternative Remix)

If you don't listen to Pendulum, you're missing out. All the vocals are always tight and the way the lyrics are expressed make it pure ecstasy. This f.o.o.l remix is just another brilliant song behind this ridiculous voice. Throw your hands up and comment!!!

Kid Cudi - The Prayer

With Band of Horses getting much deserved respect for their single - The Funeral, making its appearance on the '08 Ford Edge commercial we all secretly love, its not hard to see why kid Cudi made a remix to it. Whether you're waking up or up late, this song is the ticket. The lyrics are great behind this amazing music.

Mumford and Sons - Little Lion Man

I know that this song has received decent exposure, but I just stumbled upon it. I have come to one conclusion- Mumford and Sons are phenomenal!!! They have a folklike essence to them, but yet still an edgy sound for today's ears. Lets hear what ya think

Local Natives - Wide Eyes (Teen Daze Remix)


I had never heard of Teen Daze before this remix, and I assume neither have a lot of you, but this song is great. The Local Natives song has been turned into the perfect sunrise/late night sobering jam.  Sooooooo relaxing. Listen and enjoy

*OFFICIAL* Ghosts on a G6 - Deadmau5 and Far East Movement Remix by Basi...

Not as big of a fan of G6 on its own, but this mashup collides to create a great song. Anything mixed with Deadmau5 is gonna be good, and this is no exception.

Axwell, Ingrosso, Angello, Laidback Luke feat. Deborah Cox 'Leave the Wo...


Swedish House Mafia is probably one of my most played artists right now. This video makes you wanna jump up and fly to Miami right now. Although the lyrics are simple, they pack a punch. Just leave everything behind and focus on the now. You can't change the past but the present will impact the future.

Harvey Danger- Flagpole sitta


This may be one of the most underrated song of all-time. Harvey Danger has stopped touring, but this song will live forever. The drums are insane and the whole mystique of the song is created through the vocals. Definitely a 1 hit wonder, but definitely a must have on any road trip.

Ben Folds - Landed


Being a piano player myself, I feel like everyone needs to listen to this song. The chords and melody on the the ivories are perfect. There's not much to explain here. This song has the beauty. Put it on your iPod and listen after a long day.

Rad Anthem - Official Music Video from Rad Omen


With Nick Swardson's sketch comedy show starting tonight, I figured this had to be posted. For those of you who don't know, Nick may be the funniest dude alive. In the Rad Anthem video, he plays Wendy and I'm pretty sure he impersonated her perfectly. This video depicts a crazy night with some of our favorite fast food characters. Amazing!!

I Am I Said - Neil Diamond


This wouldn't be a true music blog with some NEIL!!! I saw "Jess Rabinovitch" live a few summers ago and for an old guy, he brings it! Its true with all his music, but "I Am I Said" encompasses all his passion with the vocals. Now if your not a Diamond fan, I suggest you get out and start listening cause he is the greatest story/song writer of all time.

Coachella 2010


Ok this song is pretty solid but this is seriously one of the coolest videos. Its a birds-eye view of the Coachella Music Festival in Cali. I have to give it up to whoever thought this out beforehand because this is inspiring!

Miles Dyson & Lea Luna - Hearts Under Fire (Pance Party Remix) | HQ
