Show #4

This past weekend was the best weekend I have had this year so far and I say this thanks to some super talented musicians at Purchase.

Let's get started...


•The first song on the playlist was All The Money Or The Simple Life Honey by Dandy Warhols. I've liked them for a while now and this just seemed to fit as a great opening song.

!!! The next three songs are from Purchase bands that played at the Stood on Friday !!!

•The second song played was Sweet Nothings by The Bearing, a band made up of two guys named Mark and Joe. They're cool dudes looking for a full band to play with so if you play drums or bass or something like that, hit them up!

•Chelsea Lynn sings the song You & Me. She played with her band, Chelsea and the Sea on Friday. Spoke with her after her set and she told me that she was going to contact me about having her music played on the show after I handed out some flyers in her class. To her surprise, I'd already done so!

•Greg's Wine by Coyote Campus. I have played this band a few times before on the show and they've recently become one of my favorites. I even had my friend who is a senior in high school singing along and dancing at the show after she'd only been listening to their music for two days. Check out some pictures I took of them!

•Once again, I have a great appreciation for well done pop music and this Canadian band, Hey Ocean singing Make a New Dance Up literally makes me want to dance. They also remind me of Metric, so the next song is....

•Front Row by Metric.

•Can't Speak by Lost In Society is more alternative rock. I've noticed that over the past few years I've began to lean towards more indie pop and rock and gone away from listening to alt rock. Whatever those genres mean. But I still love all of it.

•Dawn Metropolis by Anamanaguchi was a request from my friend April... she fell asleep and missed the first half of the show. WAY TO GO APRIL. NEVER PLAYING REQUESTS FOR YOU AGAIN. Just kidding. But really.

•Light & Day / Reach for the Sun by The Polyphonic Spree, you may recognize from the soundtrack of The Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind. That movie is absolutely amazing and it's not surprising that it's got a pretty great soundtrack too.

•Camilo (The Magician) is by another Canadian band called Said The Whale. Why does everybody hate on Canada? CANADIANS ARE GREAT.

•Let's Go by Paul Otten is next. I'm currently helping out another musician with promoting himself and social media work. One of the sites I work on with him is a site called Taxi which is great not just for musicians to promote, but for people like me to find bands I'm interested in.

•Pretenders by LESANDS is another Freeindie.com band. God, I love this site. And this song. But I don't really understand why their band name is in all caps...

•It's A Beautiful Life, a cover by Jukebox the Ghost. They are just so freaking good I couldn't resist but play another one of their songs.

•I Ain't Tryin' to Die (It's Just My Style) by The Strumbellas... once again Canadians! I played another one of their songs on my first show but I've gained a lot of listeners since then, so I thought I'd replay them.

•Shake It Out by Florence + The Machine. Yeah, I know everybody knows Florence + The Machine, but this song was used at the end of a super dramatic recent episode of How I Met Your Mother and it was so perfect for the scene that I couldn't help but play it.

•Young Glass by Hey Rosetta! I found on Grooveshark. I felt this was an appropriate ending song. I really need to get more of their music too.



WELL THAT SHOW #4 OF THE SEMESTER. TUNE IN THURSDAY AT 8PM FOR ALL NEW MUSIC!
