A post about music

This is just to say that I have been spending some time on the internets and digging through a lot of music lately, blog lists, my own collection. I don't think I have discovered anything new that isn't already being written or blogged about, you could find a lot of "best of" lists from the last year with these same bands/songs, but I wanted to drop a few links of what's really been in heavy rotation and mostly the newer stuff. I have been sorting and listening more lately, going back through the year a bit, cleaning out, a bit of adding to, but here is what has been impressing me as of late. There are links to a few of my more recent favorite songs and you can snag the mp3s, but check out the bands, lots of good stuff.

-Grizzly Bear (two weeks mp3)
-Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros (Home mp3) definitely gonna make this one part of the wedding.
-The XX - (VCR mp3)
-Andrew Bird - (Fitz and Dizzy Spells mp3) Can whistle like nobody's business. Amazing live, have a listen.
-Animal Collective- (My Girls mp3) I know, predictable, but I am hooked on this album lately.
-Phoenix - (Listzomania mp3) These guys from France have gotten huge, but check out some of their older stuff too. Phoenix- If I ever feel Better (mp3 from back in 2000)
Bat For Lashes - (Daniel mp3)
Fever Ray - (Triangle Walks mp3) Electronic, but not what you'd expect.
The Antlers - (Bear mp3)
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - (Dull Life mp3) Try any of this while doing a hard workout. GOOD.
Hathbanger - Party and Bullshit (In the USA) (Notorious B.I.G, Miley Cyrus).mp3 -Ruth's a big fan of this little mix, I know I know, Miley Cyrus?...It's catchy. Try it on the trainer today.


Okay, that's all I've got the energy to link to. Lots more good stuff. I'll keep sharin'
