Songs To Get You Addicted – Part 1

I have decided to stop being so friggin’ lazy. I mean kids, work, school, concerts, running this website, eating and sleeping; it’s time to get busy and do more. First stop on this train of inspiration is to commit to posting one blog entry per week, at bare minimum. This shall be the initial post in that effort.

I listen to a lot of music. I mean I listen to great music, and I listen to terrible music. Throughout this process I find some real gems. When I am having casual conversations with me friends, and I bring up some of these bands, I get blank stares. I mean it’s not like I am holding it over anyone’s heads, but I would like to be able to have more people to discuss this music with. As such I am going to offer up a list of songs to those out there who are interested. This list will just be a compilation of ditties that I have been addicted to all week. I hope it will act as a catalyst and cause some musical exploration.

Many people out there are stuck with the same bands they have always loved, which is fine. But for me, I need a refreshing influx of new stuff to check out. It keeps me interested, and it keeps me sane. Anyway without further ado here is what I have been addicted to all week.

Dirty Projectors

The Afghan Whigs

Charli XCX

Yeasayer

Aesop Rock
