Weekly Tune Update

New tunes for today!!!

I started reading a blog called Goodmorning & Goodnight. It has a lot of music suggestions so I've borrowed some from there for today. The other two are my own. Mmmmm TUNES!

Stars (vs. The Album Leaf) - Opinions versus the sun

I love stars. I love the album leaf. Combine the two and it's pretty much blissful. This song is found on The Seance EP which was released online with their new album The Five Ghosts. I've found their newest releases to be 20 times better than any of their older things which is usually not the case with music. However, this band has continued to grow and their sound has continued to change. It's amazing. Amy's vocals are so incredibly haunting throughout this entire album. Mmm haunting.

Elliott Brood - The Valley Town

This is an awesome driving song (for some reason, I like to relate music to being in a car...) though good for walking too. Makes me want to skip a little. It also reminds me of being on a boat. This song has a very upbeat feel that is ideal for sunny weather and playing the spoons.

The Kooks - She moves in her own way

The Kooks are an English indie rock band from Brighton. The song has a very coastal feel to it that is typical of their location. Being another upbeat song, its one of those ones that has a good acoustic sound to it and would be good around a campfire. Just turn on your fake English accent and grab a guitar and some marshmellows and boom, bliss.

The Strokes (Feat. Regina Spektor) - Modern Girls

Okay, my mind actually exploded when I came across this song. Not because I'm a huge fan of Regina Spektor or because I'm a huge fan of the Strokes but because both singers have such unique vocals that it would be interesting to see how they combined the two. I do like both artists though, The Strokes more than Regina but none the less. This song is so good. It is just really good.

Finally.....

Sky Ferreira - 17

Bahaha. Okay. Imagine combining Robyn, Ke$ha and Sara Bareilles but crank the auto tune during the chorus and add some mad reverb in places then your generic club back beat and you have this song. It's catchy and foot tap worthy. Mmm. Horrible music that I am slightly ashamed to like but don't care.
