I want to know what you guys like the most about Music Between Friends (even though it’s pretty obvious that we ooze charisma and charm as much as a charm-filled pimple).
Please review the following poll, which is accompanied by horrible stock images. Voters will be entered into a draw to win my collection of scratched cds that fell under the front seat of my car.
Here is a song that made my drive home a little smoother. Not really “new” (I think this album was released in 2009) but its the kind of song that makes me feel like I need to be reunited with heat and the ocean soon and fast…
My Morning Jacket - Wordless Chorus
Silver Swans are a dreamy electro-pop duo from beautiful San Francisco comprised of Ann Yu and Jon Waters’ “late night bedroom recordings.” I’m not exaggerating when I say that Silver Swans make simply well-written electronic music.
Meet Me Somewhere Nice, the last song off their five-track EP Secrets, has been softly sinking into my brain for the last two weeks.
You can find Secrets EP available for purchase here.
If Michael Jordan says it, then it must be true?
I decided to share some of the lovey-dovey tunes that will be on my Valentine’s Day playlist. Whether you are spoken for or not, hopefully you can enjoy the mix, or at the very least, you can find this Michael Jordan picture as hilarious as I did. Enjoy!
Amy Winehouse – Cupid
This girl may have had a rough go in life, but man could she sing a song.
The Knife – Heartbeats
I’m obsessed with the new M.I.A. song and video. It’s like the middle east’s fast and the furious. Watch for yourself and check it out.
It’s the weekend and I have internet access back. Let’s celebrate. These are just a few of the songs that are currently on my weekend playlist:
Pnau - With You Forever
If you’re going through some MGMT withdrawal this song would be a good temporary fix.
Royal Bangs - Grass Helmet
The thing I like most about this song–the drums, so it’s no surprise this band was signed by Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney.
Beastie Boys - Lee Majors Come Again
If you can’t appreciate the Beastie Boys for how catchy and clever their lyrics are, at least try to remember that they make some of the most awesomely ridiculous music videos of all time (my personal favourite).
Lykke Li - I Don’t Mind (Jump on it)
Lykke Li may be the master of bringing listeners to tears with her sappy lyrics and pretty voice, but I like her best when she does these fun dance songs.
That’s all I’ve got for now. Hope everyone has a good weekend!
I found these so amusing that I had to create an entire post to share this with you.
Of course, in doing so, I will only increase the odds that people will use these keywords to find our blog…
- hipster hat
- kittens
- cutest kittens
- kittens in love
- dancing husky gif
- slutty clown
- bedroom playlist
- plastic face
- long hair on mannequins
- inner slat
- naked in my bathtub
- you’re crazy in the coconut
- murphy’s sub shop
- meat lovers music
- naked between friends
Is this a kitten blog? Have we really been writing about kittens this whole time?
On a side note, if anyone is interested in our side project *Naked Between Friends, we have some excellent bedroom playlists in the works.
*Not an actual side project
**Unless your headache is gone?
Sometimes it’s just nice to listen to happy music, y’know?
It’s the end of the sales quarter, so things have been totally crazy at my work. As long as I can pull in two hundred thousand dollars tomorrow (uhhhhh what?) everything’ll be golden! So if anyone has 200K lying around, I’d greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
I’ve been listening to this mini-playlist whenever I feel the 3pm blues kicking in. It’s better than caffeine (and don’t we all drink too much of that stuff anyway?). So put on this music the next time you feel a slump and you’ll be good to go.
Trellic – Baxter Dury
Baxter Dury is an English guy (how could he not be, with a name like that) who started making records back in 2002. His latest album Happy Soup (2011) is enjoying a comfortable stay on the UK charts and his music is hopelessly catchy.
Excuse Me – Lemâitre
Dance around until 1:25, when the pure deliciousness sets in. Reminds me of the nineties without leaving the aftertaste of midriff tops and rave pacifiers in my mouth.
Don’t Stop (TheFatRat Remix) – Foster The People
I like this song so much that I played it on last week’s Indie-licious. And in case you didn’t know, Foster The People are playing in Downsview Park on June 19th. It’s an all-ages show and tickets are $39.50. Prepare to be surrounded by tweens singing along to Pumped Up Kicks without realizing it’s about a school shooter. No big deal!
Just cuz…
Beach House – Master of None
When it looks like crap outside, there is nothing I want to listen to more than poppy reggae-techno songs that sounds like laser beams of joy like this Body Language song.
Body Language – Social Studies
You should be able to preview the entire album the link, so if you like Passion Pit/The Drums/feeling joy (the emotion, not the band) then take a listen.
