I'm still getting into blogging, but I'm really enjoying this so far. If you've noticed, at the bottom of each post I've been linking a song to a YouTube video. Cool thing about YouTube is their playlist feature. If you're interesting in listening to a while slew of my favorites, just click on over and you can pick up anywhere in the playlist of songs I have carefully selected. I have a very eclectic music taste. I grew up listening to what my dad loves: Beatles, Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Dave Matthews, Hootie and the Blowfish... And then I introduced him to rap. He and I both share enjoyment for Eminem, Wu Tang Clan, Jay-Z and more. Through college I enjoyed Postal Service/ Death Cab for Cutie, Andrew Byrd, Cake, Reel Big Fish, Blink 182... And then when my friend Dan taught me to play mandolin, I was introduced to a whole new area of the music realm that I LOVE: Mumford and Sons, Avett Brothers, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Old Crow Medicine Show.. And of course who doesn't love Maroon 5, Adele, CeeLo Green...
And of course at times when I need to concentrate, I fall back to instrumental music: DeVotchKa, Calexico, ES Posthumus, Moby and Escala. And to get pumped up? Techno. :)
So anyway, I love music. And as short as my blogging journey through June was, here is a recap of the songs of the hour. Check them out.
Looking forward to July.. Later in July I'll be heading to Floyd, VA for Floydfest. Then in August, I'll be seeing Mumford and Sons in Portsmouth. It's going to be an excellent summer for tunes!
For now I leave you with this fun infographic:
