Buried Beds


Small Stories. from Nate Johnson on Vimeo.

Another awesome indie band coming out of philly. The video is long its basically their newest album "Small Stories" with cool vids and such thrown in. Enjoy.


Ya I know you have already heard of her but Lana Del Rey has "Officially" released her E.P. so go get it on itunes or somewhere else in the internet world if you haven't already. I hope as she progresses and gathers more fame that she doesn't change her style cause she will get famous.

Dr. Dog


The best way to explain this song is by the band themselves so below is a quote. The band is going to release a new album on Feb, 7 and they have a video out from that album already its called "that old black hole" I really like that music video but I'll let you look it up... anyways the lead singer reminds me of Cage the Elephant but sung to a different style. Enjoy.
       -“This one apartment I was living in, I felt like I was stuck in the insane heart of West Philly,” says McMicken. “It’s a weird, insular little community, and there’s a lot going on and a lot of crazy, flamboyant characters and a lot of porch life and coffee shops. But for me, it was kind of overwhelming, and I had overextended myself into the lives of a lot of wacky people, because those are the type of people that I gravitate towards the most. But sometimes I bite off more than I can chew and get taken advantage of. I was exhausted with my neighborhood and I let it into me a little too much. That night, I wrote “Shadow People,” which is a full-on West Philly diary. Philly has been such a big part of our lives, and I feel like on this record it finally took over and made its way into our music. There’s a line that says, ‘I stole a bike from the Second Mile and saw a band play in the basement.’ The Second Mile is this thrift around the corner from my house, and there’s so many basement shows in West Philly, like noisy, artsy bands.” .I wanted to write something about the people and places around me. -

Meet Air Review a Dallas quintet. They played some music for the olympics a while back and I think will  gain some major popularity this year. America's son has become my theme song when Im on the bus. Its one of those songs thats fun just to listen to while your staring out the window watching the scenery pass. What I like most about this song is that every instrument has a simple part that comes to form a beautiful sound. I especially love the snapping part with the ooos. Good Stuff.

Low Roar


Say hello to Low Roar... Maybe on later post I will give more information but im a lil to lazy right now. I believe he is from Iceland but im not sure... His songs are soft and sultry... I love the combo of echo and reverb on the vocals... I dont know if he'll blow up and get real big but his music is beautiful.

-Welcome-

So its 4:00 on a Sunday afternoon and its beginning to rain outside. In the midsts of my boredom I have decided to start a blog. If you know me you know I love to show people new and interesting things. Most things pertain to music because that is my greatest passion in life. So here is the first post on my first blog. I hope to keep you enterntained and introduce you to music you may like or have never heard of.... So here we go.
