Today I was feeling some rock music today, so I present to you a song by the amazing band 30 Seconds to Mars. Not going to lie, the lead singer is pretty darn attractive...anyway, this song is from their new album This Is War. It is a mix of synth rock, metal, and some progressive rock. The lyrics are fantastic and the melodies are quite moving. Even if you don't like this song as much, I really hope you go check out the rest of the album because it kicks some serious ass! Today's instrumental piece is by the group God Is An Astronaut. This song has nothing to do with God or religion if that makes you uneasy. I love how this song starts calmly and then increases in intensity and focus as the song progresses. It kind of follows the way the first song becomes intense. I really hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

Bruno Mars and The Red Hot Chili Peppers

I have been hearing a lot lately that many people missed out on the half time show for the Superbowl. I tell these people that they have been missing out on quite a bit because Bruno Mars was brilliant. I didn't quite understand the necessity for The Red Hot Chili Peppers, but honestly I love that band, so who cares?! The segue into the Chile Peppers was awesome.  I for one totally enjoyed the show! Bruno Mars had such a charismatic energy about him and performed incredibly well. His band was so perfect in sync when they were dancing and looked pretty sexy doing it too. The harmonies were so beautiful between all the voices and the instruments. Bruno has this great chemistry with the other performers and doesn't stand out as one person but as a member of something great. Plus, his opening drum solo was pretty great and they dubstepped his song. So this posting is the Superbowl halftime show and the song performed by the Peppers. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did and please...

Clubfeet and Tove Lo

Today I have music for you by a band that goes by the name Clubfeet. This song has a really cool sound to it. When you feel like listening to indie style electronic music, this group is one that can satiate your desire, and do it with mad style. Clubfeet is a group which has such a smooth sound to it but the band falls on that psychedelic side of music as well. This song is one that is hard for me to describe because it sounds very familiar in the tonality and melodies but also sounds very original. The track has that independent and unique vibe and sounds that no one else can copy. I am a huge fan of the way the vocals are presented because it is done so with layers. It is never just one voice and one sound you hear from the vocals, but many harmonies and different ways of singing the same lines. Something about that is very much like Imogen Heap's style of vocal layering. I also like the fact that they do maintain the conventional band instruments while also incorporating all...

Andrew Belle and Poldark

Today I have some music for you which airs a bit more on the bittersweet side. I have always been a huge fan of Andrew Belle. He has a talent and a gift for creating incredibly introspective songs. But what makes them so beautiful is that we know he is speaking from his heart, yet we end up looking at ourselves during the song. In this case, we don't take a moment to step into the artist's shoes. Instead, his music allows us to take the same journey of discovery that the Andrew Belle went through. Our outcomes may be different, and what we discover will vary, but we still go on this introspective journey which is universal. Andrew Belle recently wrote this song, and it had me absolutely spellbound. There is something so enchanting and mesmerizing about this song. And the thing is, most of Andrew Belle's music follows the same stylistic elements found in this song. What I think gets me though, is the lyrical quality found in this song. This song is all about rediscovering ...
