Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker - This is the Best

Saw these guys open up for Mother Mother last night and they rocked it!  They were so energetic and fun to watch.  I actually enjoyed them more than I did Mother Mother.

Daniel Wilson - If You Went Away

Such a beautiful song.  I love his voice and the simple piano background paired with the haunting lyrics and melody.

Broods - Mother & Father

Mellow, but gripping song.  Their debut album comes out August 22nd and I will definitely have to check out their other stuff.

Tiny Victories - Scott & Zelda

This song has been sitting on my playlist for about a month now and though I liked it, it never really fully resonated with me.  Then today, seemingly out of nowhere, I was finally awakened to the sheer awesomeness of this song and just kept listening to it on repeat today.  Love!

tUnE-yArDs - Water Fountain

I love tUnE-yArDs songs.  They're perky, upbeat and catchy as hell.  I love them almost as much as I despise typing out tUnE-yArDs with all those weird upper and lower cases.  I would like to take exception to this video in one respect though.  Sticking straws into a potato does not qualify as science.  Glad I got that off my chest.  Enjoy.

MisterWives - Money on my Mind

I just recently listened to the Sam Smith original version of this song and I can't say I'm a fan.  This cover definitely blows the original out of the water!

Caitlin Park - Hold Your Gaze

I like her soft vocals and the little big of twang from what sounds like the banjo.  Interesting combination.

The Neighbourhood - Afraid (4e remix)

This song has the description "4e hate remixes, but they love the NBHD"...pretty much sums it up.  This is a gem of a remix and you would be losing out if you didn't download it (available for download on soundcloud)

Halsey - Ghost

This girl is the new Lorde.  You know...because Lorde is so yesterday.

Sia ft. The Weeknd and Diplo - Elastic Heart

Sometimes I'm obsessive.  I never know what will trigger my obsessive tendencies, but it's a little frightening when it does.  Two have hit me at the same time this week.  The first was Divergent.  I devoured all 3 Divergent trilogy books (plus the 2 short stories) in the course of 5 days, peaking in an uncontrollable sobbing fit while reading the 3rd book.  Veronica Roth is a sadist.  That's the only logical reason I can come up for that ending.

The second was this song.  I finally got around to buying the Blu-ray of Catching Fire (one of my past obsessions: Hunger Games) and I saw that for an extra $5 I could get a download of the soundtrack.  What the hell, I thought.  Best decision I've made this week!  On average, the soundtrack is very strong, but this song in particular has really hooked me.  I easily listened to it on repeat for a solid 3 hours one day.  Enjoy!

Parade of Lights - Golden

This is the second Parade of Lights tune I've heard and it's great as well.  Definitely going to have to check these guys out in more depth.

Lincoln Jesser - Tops


Give it a listen.  Catchy.  Love the "wha-wha" effect.  Sounds kind of like someone is using a saw as a musical instrument.

MS MR - Dance Yrself Clean

I just found this in my drafts.  Apparently I never hit publish about a month ago.  Whoopsidoodle.

Stepdad - Find Love

I have listened to this song 33 times.  Today.  I cannot get enough!

Bo Saris - Little Bit More

Hmmm...how to describe....Fitz & the Tantrums meets Michael Buble meets Adele?  Sure. Let's go with that.  Whatever the essences are, it's very catchy.
