Rogue Wave

Well it seems like I haven't posted in a really long time yet again. I've been listening to a bunch of new stuff though. I finally got around to watching Chuck, which my friend had told me to see eons ago, but I never got around to, until now that is. It's a pretty hilariously awesome show. I suggest you check it out, if you're not familiar with it. It's sort of if The Office met Alias, with a whole bunch of absurd humor (courtesy of the supporting cast mostly - hehe) and lots of pop culture and geek references thrown in. All in all it's a very consistently good TV experience. The added bonus here is that Alex Patsavas, music supervisor extraordinaire, is picking the songs for the show. Naturally I've been checking up on what's been on the show. You can see for yourself here. There are a lot of favorites of mine like Spoon and The National to be had and I've also discovered a fair number of new and old (yay Eels) goodies. I wanted to mention Rogue Wave though. They used a song called "Lake Michigan" off the album Asleep at Heaven's Gate on the show and it's really fantastic. In fact that whole album is a real pleasure to listen to. Now fortunately, "Lake Michigan" and a few other Rogue Wave titles are available at betterPropaganda. I swear that site is one of the best things on the internet. Anyway go here to listen and download.

Well that's that for right now. Hope you like the music.

Spoon

As you've probably noticed I haven't updated in a pretty unbelievably long while. I do have some songs to write about, but I want to finalize the list first. In the meantime I have another tune by Spoon that I need to tell you about. I watched Stranger Than Fiction, which was better than I was expecting it to be, and anyway, they used a good number of Spoon songs throughout the film, but this particular one called "The Book I Write" was playing during the end credits. Let me tell you it's a short little thing, but it's very good. Definitely a cheery little number. Listen and download here if you feel like a happy tune. Also. This song comes courtesy of my fabulous googling skills. I hope you're thankful.

Old Favs: Spoon

You know I was just thinking that most of the music I've been posting is new stuff that I'm discovering every day that I like, but there are in fact so many old favorites that deserve some of my attention too. On that note, I should mention Spoon. They're not one of my all time favorite bands (those include Grant Lee Buffalo and Grant Lee Phillips, Rilo Kiley, the Stereophonics and a bunch of others), but there are a couple of songs of theirs that I think really rock. betterPropaganda has a pretty good number of their songs available for you to listen and if you so choose to download here. I'm a huge fan of "The Underdog" and "The Way We Get By". There are other things to discover too. Enjoy.
