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:

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

A to Z of Music I Love: D is for The Decemberists

This letter was easier to choose. While I like The Doors they aren't the top of the pile here. One of the weirdest bands I know is, The Decemberists. I love the pop mixed with sea shanties and topped off with just the right amount of references to culture and literature. They are pretty brilliant in my opinion.

It was tough to pick one song but I picked the first one I heard and lead me down the path of owning everything they have made. It is a great antiwar protest song while still being smart and cleaver.



Bonus post: Another good song

Pink Floyd - Goodbye Blue Sky

This is pretty much what my dreams are like.

crazy queen?

How awesome is this photo?

A to Z of Music I Love: C is for Clash & Case

Another double post. Some letters are harder than others.

First is Neko Case, my newest favorite artist. She is amazing live and amazing on album. Just enjoy.



Second is The Clash. One of the all time great bands. Most melodic punk bands ever and some of the best messages in there songs.

A to Z of Music I Love: B is for Bjork & Bowie

This is one of the hardest posts I think I'll have to do. I fell in love with Bjork because of her name. I saw it and it was like mine so i said I must here.  I heard this song when it came out and I was hooked. I still have a love hate relationship with her because it was so weird and often off putting. Hers is an awesome video.

I think I forced myself to like David Bowie. I heard songs on the radio and liked them but it took years for me to figure out he's a chameleon and changes styles often. So many great albums but I will take one that means something to me. I get it and I feel it.

I love these songs and the last one brings two things i love into one.
Bjork


Bowie & Reznor

A to Z of Music I Love: A is for Atmosphere

I am sort of stealing from Walt and Nessa but hey why not? I've had the urge to write more lately why not slack off and do this.

Atmosphere is my favorite hip-hop group. I find slug amazing and the lyrics often great. I saw him live and it was amazing. I love all his albums and his sad clown series of rough cuts and live tracks.

So here is the video of a good song.
