New Music That I Like

Wed, Jul 30, 2008

Blogging

This is a very random post, but I decided that I would really like to share the kind of music I am into. I really do not know the genre of music I listen to most, so the only way to explain it is to show you some bands and songs I like. Hopefully I can show you some new things that you may or may not enjoy.

1) The Black Keys

The Black Keys is a blues-rock band consisting of two members. Dan Auerbach (vocals and guitar) and Patrick Carney (drums and percussion). They are one of my favorite bands to this date. I love almost every song by them, but here are some of my favorites:

Set You Free

10 A.M. Automatica

Girl Is On My Mind

Psychotic Girl

Grown So Ugly

Till I Get My Way

2) Vampire Weekend

Vampire Weekend is an indie rock band from New York City (REPRESENT!). The band consists of Ezra Koenig (lead vocals, guitar), Rostam Batmanglij (keyboard, guitar, vocals), Chris Tomson (drums), Chris Baio (bass guitar). They have only released one album, but man is it good. They have gotten so much hype over this one album, they are already set for life. Here are my favorites:

A-Punk

Walcot

The Kids Don’t Stand A Chance

Oxford Comma

Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa

Campus

3) Dispatch

Dispacth is actually not new, but since I love them so much, I had to put them on the list. Unfortunately, they actually broke up and stopped making music. Dispatch was an American indie/roots folk jam band who created a great reggae/rock type of sound. Here are my favorite songs:

The General

Bang Bang

Two Coins

Hey Hey

Open Up

Mission

4) Coldplay

Coldplay is a very popular band and with their new album “Viva La Vida” they are even hotter than they were before. They come from London, England and consists of vocalist/pianist/guitarist Chris Martin, lead guitarist Jonny Buckland, bassist Guy Berryman, and drummer/multi-instrumentalist Will Champion. Here are my favorite songs by them:

Viva La Vida

Violet Hill

Lost?

Clocks

Fix You

Warning Sign

5) Jurassic 5

I don’t only like rock/alternative stuff! I am a man of GOOD music. Whether it is rock, hip-hop, techno… All it has to do is sound good. I am a huge fan of classic hip-hop/rap and Jurassic 5 re-creates that for me. Jurassic 5 consists of rappers Chali 2na, Akil, Zaakir aka Soup, Mark 7even, and turntable maestros DJ Nu-Mark and DJ Cut Chemist. Here are some songs I like:

What’s Golden

Thin Line

High Fedility

Freedom

The Game

Concrete Schoolyard

Future Sound

Well thats it! I hope you enjoyed learning what kind of music I like, I know it is a bit random due to the fact that this is a tech blog and almost never have anything but tech. Anyway, tell me if you like or dislike this kind of music. Comment!
