Song: Don’t Unplug Me
Artist: All Caps
Album: Bmin / E (2010)
Genre: Electronic
There’s quite a few trends on my music blog, including folk and indie music, so I thought I’d change it up today with some electronica. Check out All Caps, a great band that started out on Youtube!
Song: Beauty’s Running Wild
Artist: Scars on 45
Album: Scars on 45 (2012)
Genre: Acoustic
Thought their albums are just starting to be released now, Scars on 45 has been around for years. I first heard this song in 2009 I think. A lovely tune!
Song: She Works Hard for the Money
Artist: Donna Summers
Album: She Works Hard for the Money (1983)
Genre: New Wave
One of my favourite tunes to just dance around the house to. A great way to end your summer vacation!
Song: Come Down With Love
Artist: Allstar Weekend
Album: Suddenly Yours (2010)
Genre: Pop rock
In honour of my friend Steph moving away this weekend for college, this is a song she sang in show choir a few years ago!
Song: Ghosting
Artist: Freelance Whales
Album: Weathervanes (2009)
Genre: Indie pop
I first discovered this band via Darren Criss, as his younger brother Chuck is the electric guitar player (as well as so many other instruments!)
Song: Thank You
Artist: Led Zeppelin
Album: Led Zeppelin II (1969)
Genre: Rock
Led Zeppelin. ‘Nuff said.
Song: Bridges
Artist: Courage My Love
Album: For Now (2012)
Genre: Punk
A kickass punk trio from Canada, Courage My Love is wonderful! I love how they balance out their harsh chords with feisty lyrics.
Song: We Don’t Eat
Artist: James Vincent McMorrow
Album: Early in the Morning (2010)
Genre: Folk
James Vincent McMorrow is basically the Irish version of Bon Iver. Beautiful meaningful lyrics, soulful melodies, perfect combination!
Song: Through the Eyes of Love
Artist: Melissa Manchester
Album: Ice Castles Soundtrack (1979)
Genre: Pop
The uber-romantic theme song from the movie Ice Castles, Through the Eyes of Love is one of my favourite love ballads.
Song: Hawaiian Skies
Artist: Jeff Patterson
Album: The Descendants Soundtrack (2011)
Genre: Instrumental
If you haven’t seen the 2011 film The Descendants, please do. It’s a wonderfully artistic and realistic film about death, infidelity, and life in Hawaii. The score and soundtrack are jam-packed with beautiful music like this, my favourite song.
