I don’t need a reason for anything I feel…

Sara

This band. I love them. So. Fucking. Much. We drove over nine hundred miles to see them in concert. I couldn’t muster the mental fortitude to see them locally at the State Fair on Labor Day, but Colorado, Red Rocks, (and Andy Grammer, let’s be honest) got me to drive 1800+ miles for them. The band’s performance that night mixed with the energy of a crowd of 6000-some-odd people belting out every word along with… Keep reading…I don’t need a reason for anything I feel…

The compass of my heart…

Sara

So… This dropped. It’s that guy again. In my head the color scheme of the album cover is totally a reference to Red Vs Blue. Because that’s how my brain works—mashing together all my unhealthy obsessions fixations into one all-inclusive fandom. I always have these extensive essays built up in my head when it comes to writing about music (new or otherwise), but when I sit down to put it on paper screen, the words… Keep reading…The compass of my heart…

Listen line by line…

Sara

This band, man. I fucking love them. *AHEM* My introduction to O.A.R. was Hey Girl in heavy rotation on Drive 105. (Oh how I miss non-shitty radio stations.) Somewhere along the line Love and Memories was added to the mix, but I don’t recall really looking into more of their music until Shattered (Turn the Car Around) hit radio. (After Drive went the way of every other station on the 105 frequency.) All Sides was… Keep reading…Listen line by line…

We don’t need another life…

At the beginning of the year, Nine Days randomly followed me on Twitter announcing their comeback. (And I reminisced the adorableness of John Hampson.) Some time later they launched a Pledge Music campaign (Kickstarter for music) to fund and support their new album. (Let’s not get into the ridiculous number of music projects I’ve pledged money to in the last six months. So many music makers I love are on this path and…GAH…I am weak….

Through a string of stars…

Toad the Wet Sprocket is releasing their first album in…sixteen? seventeen? years. I got in on their Kickstarter campaign (which funded damn fast and over 5x their goal)…whenever it was on…and I’ve been listening to the new album New Constellation (plus the bonus EPs they released to pledgers) quite a bit. It’s very much Toad. And it’s a refreshing change of pace from the shit on the airwaves these days. Remember 90’s alternative music? That… Keep reading…Through a string of stars…

Then there was you…

Sara

So this showed up in my mailbox on Thursday. It doesn’t actually come out until Tuesday, but that’s the occasional perk of pre-ordering things I suppose. Ooof. Matt Nathanson is so ridiculously good at what he does. My only complaint is the eleven song track list falls just short of 40 minutes in length. Is it just me or are full length albums getting shorter even with the requisite 10 to 12 songs? Seems like… Keep reading…Then there was you…
