It's been a crazy, busy year. Managed to do Firefly, for 2 days instead of all 4, and it passed without writing anything up. (Headliners were 21 Pilots and Muse. Best shows other than them were 30 Seconds to Mars, Judah and the Lion, and Missio) New Albums from Arcade Fire, The National, The Killers, St. Vincent, and a number more have meant a plethora of excellent listening that I have done alarmingly inconsistently. Here are some songs from these favorites that have my ear right now.





Creature Comfort - Arcade Fire
Chemistry - Arcade Fire
Good God Damn - Arcade Fire
Put Your Money on Me - Arcade Fire
Turtleneck - The National
Wonderful Wonderful - The Killers
Rut - The Killers
Run for Cover - The Killers
Masseduction - St. Vincent
New York - St. Vincent
Fear the Future - St. Vincent

I love when a song stops you in your tracks and begs you to go get the album so you can hear more. Sometimes music grows its way into your heart, and sometimes you just know that you are destined to love it for a long time. A lot like people I suppose. And also like people, music comes and goes. Sometimes you're close to it and what it says and means is very real to you, and other times there is distance. I always love when music closes the distance and speaks directly to my soul. (again - like people)

You want the Candy - The Raveonettes

Cruel - St Vincent

Every Teardrop is a Waterfall - Coldplay

Teeth - Lady Gaga

There are always more, but I wanted to throw a few songs up and I'll get back to it and hopefully post sooner than later.
