On my iPod #5

Okay, I know...I know, I've been TOTALLY absent from the blog lately. I'm sorry guys, I've been SO swamped with work (my full-time job), plus I went to DC this past weekend to look for housing for the hubby and I to live in come this Fall. It has just been so hectic lately, I haven't had time to sit down and write a thoughtful post. BUT, I figured, the least I could do is share some more tunes I've been listening to lately.

So here we go...

Overwhelmed - Tim McMorris

Okay, so be patient...it's some kind of video uploaded by 'Audio Jungle' ?? so you'll hear that word repeated throughout the video. At least you can listen to what the song sounds like. :)

Dancing Shoes - Green River Ordinance

These guys are awesome!!

Even If It Breaks Your Heart - Eli Young Band

 Love this song right now!

~~~~~~~~~~~

So I'm going to admit that I am a newcomer to listening to the Avett Brothers (I know, believe me, I'm embarrassed about it - what rock have I been under?!?!)...I had hear of them before, but just hadn't ever listened to their music very much. Well, I am OFFICIALLY hooked & obsessed!!!! Their songs are on constant replay on my iPod...but these 2 are definitely my favs at the moment:

If It's the Beaches - The Avett Brothers

Swept Away - The Avett Brothers 

What are you all listening to right now??

On my iPod #4

If you're new to the blog, every week or so I share what I'm listening to on my iPod. Music is a HUGE part of my daily routine, and I love sharing new songs, bands, and music videos with people around me.

So here's what I'm listening to lately:

Dirt Road Anthem - Jason Aldean

My friend Kristin and I were just talking about this song the other night...we grew up in a small town in southern IL and this song completely reminds us of home, high school and fond memories

Hang Me Up to Dry - Cold War Kids

This is not a new song, or band for that matter, but CWK is a big favorite of mine and my husband's. We went to a concert of theirs (for their 1st tour) and it was amazing - definitely check out more of the songs from their 1st album!

Half Moon - Blind Pilot

Heard this song on the season finale of One Tree Hill (another CW show, no way?!) :) This live version sounds awesome!

Rivers and Road - The Head & The Heart

One of my friends sent me a link to this video earlier this week...and I have been playing the song on repeat since. I can't get enough of just that raw, collaborative sound - it's just them and their instruments and they sound so beautiful!! I'm thinking this is a band I'm going to have to check out in concert sometime in the near future!

And last, but not least, someone that I KNOW!

The musician below, Ryan Spriggs...his wife and I were roommates all throughout college. She is one of my best friends, and I'm so excited for both of them that Ryan has decided to put out a record. He has an amazing voice, mixes his music in his studio upstairs in their house, and I'm pretty sure knows how to play almost any musical instrument. I'm so excited to share his music with you on my blog: 

I Guess it's Safe to Say - Ryan Spriggs

What's on your iPod this week?

On my iPod #3

Well, I have some more new music for you to check out, that is constantly playing on my iPod:

Be Still - The Fray

Surprise, surprise - heard this on last week's episode of VD

Springsteen - Eric Church

I can't quit playing this song...it is definitely may favorite country song right now!

Medicine - Daughter

This was also on last week's episode of VD...I just think it's so beautiful!!

Hazy - Rosi Golan (feat. William Fitzsimmons)

 I'm a recent fan of Rosi Golan...just happened to come across this duet and am loving the lyrics!

We Are Young - Fun. (feat. Janelle Monae)

LOVING this song right now...even though the radio stations are 'playing it to death'
