Cover of the Week: Maroon 5 “If I Ain’t Got You”
Yes. Maroon 5 singing Alicia Keys’ hit track. I actually got to see M5 perform this a couple weeks ago and I fell in love with the way Adam Levine’s voice complements the song. Sorry about the overwhelming screaming in the background, this is the best video I could find on Youtube.
CocoRosie- Rainbowarriors
Formed in Paris in 2003, CocoRosie is a musical group created by the sisters Bianca “Coco” and Sierra “Rosie” Casady. Their bizarrely awesome music is of the “freak folk” nature and has some traces of pop, blues, opera, electronica and hip hop. sweeeeet. They tour frequently in Europe and the US, and have released three [...]
M.I.A.- Sunshowers
M.I.A. is the bomb. Which is why she is one of my favorite artists. “Sunshowers” is one of her best tracks and a lot of people have never heard it, so I thought I’d share.
Jenny and Tyler- Muse
Jenny and Tyler are a really cute, musical couple who met at the University of Delaware. I really liked their folky, mellow sound (they kinda remind me of The Weepies), and signed up for their mailing list so i could download their free music. Upon doing this, I somehow got into an email conversation with [...]
Bon Iver- “Skinny Love”
Justin Vernon (frontman) is definitely a passionate singer. Bon Iver‘s debut album For Emma, Forever Ago was independently released in 2007. Originally from Wisconsin, this Indie band some really good, chill music.
Ben Folds + West Australian Symphony Orchestra= Magic
I freakin love Ben Folds. Originally the frontman of Ben Folds Five, the now solo artist is one of the most creative and intense people I have ever seen in concert. One of the reasons he’s so different is that he uses a variety of instruments (including a cowbell!!!). While looking up Youtube videos of [...]
The Weepies- Hideaway
The Weepies are currently one of my favorite artists. A married couple originally from Cambridge, Massachusetts, Deb Talan and Steve Tannen make indie pop-folk music that is perfect to just chill to. The more well-known song, “World Spins Madly On” is from their album Say I Am You, and made #1 on US folk song [...]
Cover of the Week: Chris Daughtry – “Poker Face”
I usually cannot stand Lady Gaga‘s “Poker Face”, but I was pleasantly surprised when I heard this version of it Chris Daughtry, frontman of the band Daughtry (obviously), performed the song for the German radio station Citrus 95.3. Most of the music I like does not include mainstream, but I think Daughtry possesses a lot [...]
Video: “Ocean” – John Butler Trio
This is a video of “Ocean” by The John Butler Trio. The video is self- explanatory, words can’t even describe the talent. I’m really looking forward to the new album, which is currently being recorded.
