FIRST AID KIT///Tonight in Portland

First Aid Kit is playing this evening at the Wonder Ballroom.  Are you going? I hope I'll see you there!

I might cry tonight...

Can't Stop Listening///Perfume Genius

Mike Hadreas of Perfume Genius totally kills me. I discovered his tender and heartfelt music via one of my favorite music blogs, La Blogotheque. They make these really beautiful videos that help me fall even more in love with the sweet ass music they post.

French Style///

Okay, do me a favor...turn on your favorite mellow love song - or song for getting down...then watch this video on mute. It is perfectly styled (Joe Jonas all grown up).

I always knew Ice and I were bros.

Thankful for///

I'm thankful for music that touches the deepest parts of my soul and for those that just graze the surface.

This may not be the deepest a song has ever dug, but right now, I can't stop listening to First Aid Kit.

"So you ask for my opinion
Well what is there to say
To be honest and just foolish
Won't make you wanna stay"

Soul Night///Tracks of My Tears

This has been my all time favorite soul song since I was a kid. Smoky's version will always be my favorite, but today I'm jamming to some other favorite artists that have covered this classic.

The OG - Smoky Robinson 1965

Linda Ronstadt, I love her...I listen to this one on vinyl whenever I can. 

Dolly's cover she did in 2008.

Gavin Degraw did a rad mashup of Tracks and another favorite, Cupid by Sam Cooke. 

And sorry, but who doesn't love a little BoysIIMen (ABC, BBD)

Sabi /// Wild Heart

I don't know what it is about this jam but I can't get it out of my head.

Can't stop the magic...

"Sail away with me to another world
And we rely on each other, ah-ah
From one lover to another, ah-ah"

So Many Colors///VHS or BETA new video Breaking Bones

SXSW Playlists

I have to let you guys know about my favorite music blog out there, Aurgasm. I'm a big fan of many of the bands that played at SXSW this year and dream of hearing the magic in person in Austin at somepoint (someday Katey, someday). 

  Jenny Lewis, Alexander Ebert of Ima Robot and Edward Sharpe and the magnetic Zeros, Sondre Lerche and Toro Y Moi performing in Austin for SXSW.

So Aurgasm is doing daily posts about SXSW's aural artists complete with a playlist to jam to along with each post. I've been listening to all of the music at work. Such a rad way to listen to music, it totally beats Pandora in terms of exposing me to new artists and keeping me up to date with my favorites.
