Moving Tracks o' the Week
| Last Saturday afternoon I was busy making a couple of mix CDs for packing, to get my box mojo going. Some people might view this as counterproductive, but who wants to pack in silence? I dug around on my hard drive with all my mp3s from college, and mixed a few new things. A partial list of the singles of the week, all recommended if you need new tunes. - The Weepies - Antarctica. Off their new CD Hideaway...I don't know what it's about but who else has a song with the hook, "Antarctica - my only living relative"? Who? (Bonus: it's streaming down at the bottom of the page on their player! Sweet!) - John Mayer - Clarity. Everyone cringes a little when they admit they like Mayer, then they move on with their lives and enjoy. - Jail Burned Down - The Great Divide. For the gospel portion/"hail Mary I found a box that fits" moments. - American Baby - Dave Matthews. This track is just hip. If I produced a record I'd want to have something on it sound like this. - Lights of Santa Fe - Eliza Gilkyson. One of the few New Mexico songs I've heard that references specific things but doesn't sound too..."local" if that makes sense. - Right Hand Man - Joan Osborne. Rock. And. Roll. - Fifth of July - Eddie From Ohio. I have a gig on July 5th. :) Labels: musicians |

post a commentI know, Antarctica, what the heck is it about? But I LOVE IT!!!
I also love John Mayer. I don't care. I saw him live several years back (I guess before he really went all out with his blues stuff) and I was really impressed with his show. I also read his blog. I'm sure people have different takes on him, but mine is that he's honest and figuring things out as he goes and open about that. It's been interesting watching him grow over the years. And his songs make me happy, which probably my most important criteria (is that the right word?) for music. Which is probably why I do have a bunch of favorites that fall into the cringe category. hehe.
Glad you had some good tunes for packing! I need to check some of those out. :)
Thanks, Heather! I'm glad I'm not alone in the JM love. ;)
