Song of The Week 9

This week I have a true song of the week. On Saturday I got the Patrick Wolf album the Magic Position, it will actually be released in the US on May 1st but it was leaked way back in January and it has been out in the UK for a while. Ever since I heard the album I have to listen to the title track at least 3 times a day. Yesterday I listened to the song and then I thought that is so good I have to listen to it again.
Check it out for yourself let me know what you think.
Also what have you been listening to lately?
Patrick Wolf - The Magic Position

Song of The Week 8

So I am really late with the song of the week. And that is because until yesterday I really did not have one. I did not listen to much new music this week because I have been really busy kickboxing four days a week.
This weeks song is
Feist - One Two Three Four

Also I really like the video for this song. Check it out and tell me if you don't think Feist is an indie rock vixen.

Song of The Week 7

The song of the week is:
I'm From Barcelona - Treehouse

This week I have been singing this song a lot.
The best part was one day I was singing it and Bryan started to sing along, now if we could only get 648 people to join in with us we would have as many people as our in this band. Just kidding, I don't know how many people are in the band but it is a lot. I do know they are not from Barcelona. I hope none of my friends from Norway hate me because this band is actually from Sweden.

Running

So I am starting to really like running. It used to be something I really had to make myself do but now I actually kind of enjoy it. Part of why I enjoy it is that it is when I listen to a lot of music. Listening to music and running can be tricky because you do not want to listen to anything too fast and wind up halfway into your run and realize you have been sprinting to keep up with the music and are too tired to keep going. But if it is too slow you end up legging. I also am more likely to stop when I am trying to find the perfect song. Today while I was on my run I tried something new I listened to LCD Soundsystem- 45:48. It was made by LCD Soundsystem for Apple and their whole Nike run campaign. Anyway it was pretty good although after working out every day this week my legs were sore and tired and so I did not make it the whole 45:48 but the part I did listen to was perfect. It picked up the pass just around the 10 minute mark right when I need it to. I look forward to running to it the whole way through this weekend.
What do you listen to when you work out?

Song of The Week 6

In case you did not notice now you can listen to the song of the week by clicking on it.
This weeks song of the week is:
Mates Of State - Think Long
I have been listening to a lot of Mates Of State as of late. I think it is because they are quirky and are married which for some reason I think is cool. I really like quirky things what about you?
Wikipedia describes their music like this:
"Mates of State's songs are notable for their male/female vocal harmony, shifting rhythms, and quirky song structure - most tracks comprise distinct, almost disjointed movements. Both members sing with great intensity, often in the upper ranges of their voices, and often sing different (yet complementary) melodies simultaneously. Tempos are nearly always fast, with beats often resembling those found in electronic club or dance music."
Personally, I like the boy girl sound of their music.

I like the song Think Long because lets face it I have been thinking long about stuff these days.

If you do listen to the song make sure you listen to the second half because that is when it gets really good.
