For Your Consideration....

So I usually don't post two blogs in one day, but I felt the need.

I go to college in the middle of nowhere. Yesterday I actually went to Fred Meyer's for strictly entertainment purposes... So i've really been developing my taste is music over the past few months. I love adding new music to my collection.
I also go through musical phases.

Here's who made the current cut:

Wilco

Wilco was formed in 1994, by members of the alternative country group Uncle Tupelo. The band members changed frequently up until 2004, but does not change the way I feel about them. I've currently been listening to their album Blue Sky Blue. On that album, I love Either Way & Impossible Germany. If you're a fan of Spoon, or The Shins I would definitely check them out, because if Spoon and The Shins got together, Wilco would be their love child.



The Smiths

The Smiths were formed in Manchester in 1982. It has been said that they're one of the most important bands to emerge from Britain's independent music scene. What I love about them is the contradictions in their songs. For the most part, the music is gentle, but the lyrics often carry bitter messages. The contradictions and flow of the melodies make this band (in my opinion) genius! A few songs you should definitely check out are: There Is A Light That Never Goes Out or The Hand That Rocks The Cradle !




The Temper Trap

These are some seriously awesome aussies!. I discovered them on the (500) Days of Summer soundtrack just several months ago, and they are already one of my favorite bands. If you're into, Coldplay, Muse, or Passion Pit YOU DEFINITELY NEED TO CHECK THESE GUYS OUT. The rest of the world will soon be in love with them - trust me - so get ahead of the game and go out and purchase (yes it is worth the $$$$) their one and only album Conditions. If you're not ready for that kind of commitment, try starting off with Fader or Sweet Disposition . I promise you will not be disappointed!



Enjoy!

Oh! One more thing! When I was searching the web for a picture of The Temper Trap, I found another awesome music blog. I'll give you the link but you must continue to love me!
