Remember remember the 5th of November, the gunpowder treason and plot...

Quote referring to the Guy Fawkes plot and used to great impact in the graphic novels and movie "V for Vendetta". Well that's today. I remembered it, but didn't mark it with a bonfire or anything other then doing a bunch of chores around the house. But this blog is about music and I'll post a few songs that have knocked my socks off recently. I'm always trying to find music that I've never heard before. Much of it is forgettable, but there are myriads of songs that speak to me now and many more that will in the future, I just haven't heard them yet.

Gasoline Heaven - Bellflur

Arcade - The Capitalist Youth

Never Ever Ever Ever Again - Siskiyou

Little Lion Man - Mumford and Sons

All is Love - Karen O and the Kids

Gaze - Suuns

The Disaster - The Kopecky Family Band

A More Perfect Union - Titus Andronicus

It's Okay - Land of Talk

Reprise - Sherlock's Daughter

Well a lot of time has passed, and while I haven't had much to say in this space, music continues to be a profound influence in my life. I've listened to lots and lots, liked much of it and will list some of it here. Some music has been there during some low, depression filled times, and some has helped me get through it and keep going even when it would be easier not to. My suggestion would continue to be listen to as much music as you can, like what you like, and always see what else is out there.

This next week looks like it holds more challenges in trying to keep a good face forward. I'm sure music will be as important as ever. Anyways... here's the list.

Pink City - Secret Cities

SDP - The Kissaway Trail

The Cave - Mumford and Sons

Rill Rill - Sleigh Bells

Born Free - MIA

I get Nervous - Lower Dens

Coquette, Coquette - Of Montreal

New Goodbye - Hey Rosetta

And he slayed her - Liz Phair
