Last year, I wrote a post entitled 11 Great Indie Christmas Music Tunes featuring music from Future of Forestry, Jimmy Eat World, Sufjan Stevens, and Jack Johnson. This year, I thought I’d share a few more indie Christmas tunes of my 2009 Christmas.
This EP contains two tracks, both of which are awesome. They…
Phoenix’s Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix first hit the US in May, 2009. I’m not sure why I haven’t written about this disc yet, because it’s been on repeat for months. Phoenix is a French band….from France…
Anyhow. This album is spectacular from start to finish. It gets richer each time you listen to it (exactly like French food, am I right? am I right?).
The first single – and…
Imogen Heap has a new album arriving August 25, 2009 entitle Ellipse – and she just released her first single First Train Home. It’s incredible!
Go listen to “First Train Home” – and check out her video blog and my previous posts on Imogen.
One of the reasons I love Imogen is because of how much she cares about her fans. Follow her on…
Fantasies is Metric’s fourth studio album, and it’s four times awesomer than most everything else 2009 has heard. You may have heard lead singer and songwriter Emily Haines’ voice before as she has been featured on Stars‘ albums, and (like many other amazing artists) is part of the Broken Social Scene.
Fantasies has a very interesting…
Death Cab for Cutie has a new EP our called Open Door and it’s solid – but not awesome. The Open Door EP comes not long after their most recent full length, Narrow Stairs. Narrow Stairs was a bit of a return to their roots. If you were Plans fan you probably disliked Narrow Stairs; if you were a Photo Album fan you…
Ok, so the site is a bit poorly executed; but Twestival.fm contains everything good in the world: Imogen Heap, music, charities, and Twitter! Teaming up with CharityWater.org, a number of artists offer their songs for free. You can download the track. All they ask is that you tweet your favorite song, and donate $5.00 in the process.
Imogen had an unrecorded vocal section she recorded for a TV…
Everyone’s making a 2008 favorites list it seems. I strongly desire to be liked by people I don’t know on the internet, so I guess I should too. I hate ranking music though…I hate it…why am I even doing this? You know what, screw it. I’m not numbering anything, I’m just listing them. Maybe I won’t be prom king, but I feel good.
My list is slightly different than…
Well, it’s almost Christmas! What would Christmas be without great music? And what would indie music be without whining depression infiltrating the Christmas spirit? This Christmas, I set out to collect some good Christmas tracks that don’t make me wanna drive off a bridge (Clarence! I want my life back!), and here they are…
The Killers just released a new disc “Day & Age” and while it’s a bit more tame than the historical Killers, it’s really good! Ranging from their ability to produce a space-techno-rock song to full on horns & strings; this album is pretty rich, and just plain fun to listen to.
Check out the newest featured video! Thanks to Ryan, for showing me this. A lesson in visual beauty combined with one of the most melodic, moving songs I’ve heard in years. I actually made my own video to this song some time ago, those of you who read watch this video should be able to identify the song with a smile.
