//Twilight Singers

A to Z of Music I Love: S is for Sonic Youth/Soul Coughing/Spoon

I couldn't pick one so here is a trifecta.

//Soul Coughing


//Spoon

A to Z of Music I Love: Q is for Queen

So i forgot Q. So here it is. The greatest band beginning with Q.

Yeah here it is

A to Z of Music I Love: R is for RADIOHEAD

Theres is no competition here. This is my favorite band EVER. I feel in love with them gradually over time but when Kid A came out, they solidified as my top band. I can't explain really why I love them. I heard "creep" and thought this guy has a whiney voice but i don't mind the music.

I guess hearing The Bends changed much of that and then came the monster that is OK Computer.
Here are my favorite songs by Radiohead

Lucky (my all time favorite song)


Talk Show Host


Fake Plastic Trees


15 Step


Paranoid Android (i was at this show)


high and dry


Idioteque


There are my favorites, enjoy.

A to Z of Music I Love: P is for Pixies and Peaches

Pixies: I discovered via WTUL and Fight Club. I now love them and totally get where Nirvana was coming from.

Peaches is, well, crazy good. She plays with boundries and taste. It works for me.

So here is both of them in two seperate videos.

Pixies


Peaches

A to Z of Music I Love: O is for Okkervil River

This is a tough letter because there aren't many O bands I love. I used to love The Offspring (along with Live, first cds I ever bought). I enjoyed the Old 97's. Of Montreal is fun.

So I choose a new enjoyment. Maybe a band i like or am getting into. I didn't like them the first time I heard them but overtime they have grown on me.

So here it is.

A to Z of Music I Love: M is for Modest Mouse

Not much here other than Mozart. Enjoy a few videos of one of the weirdest and funniest bands.





worse than you ever know

A to Z of Music I Love: K is for Kravitz

Again another hard letter. I don't like his most recent song but this song kicks ass and so do the first 3 or 4 albums.

enjoy some Lenny Kravitz

A to Z of Music I Love: J is for Janis Joplin

There is no arguement here. Best female pop/rock singer of all time. Sorry Aertha but this woman out did you every step of the way.



Get it while you can...

A to Z of Music I Love: I is for Iron & Wine

ok simply said, i like the lyrics and i like the group. though I don't own many I bands so it kind of defaults to this group.

A to Z of Music I Love: H is for Hendrix

I could put The Hold Steady or PJ Harvey here but really are they better than THE GREATEST GUITARIST EVER? I mean really?

Let the music speak here:


or this:


or this:


see best ever

A to Z of Music I Love: G is for Gorillaz

I love the music is all over the place. I love the tunes and mix of world, pop, hip hop, and funk in the music. The future is coming on...

A to Z of Music I Love: F is for Fleet Foxes

I could have chosen Fever Ray but in post 2 of 3 for today I am going with one of my new favorites.

Mykonos


Another good one: White Winter Hymnal

A to Z of Music I Love: E is for The Eels

Some letters are easier than others. E is the Eels. I love music, the lyrics and the stories. So enjoy two of my favorite videos they made. Also check out the songs "Going Fetal" and "Flyswatter"

Last Stop This Town


Novocaine For The Soul
