Musak Mondays!

I'm actually pretty surprised that I haven't posted this song before. Sia is a fascinating artist to me. You never really know what you will get from her but whatever it is..it's very Sia. I used to have a love/hate relationship with her music. Namely her voice. I love it at times but can often be pretty nasally for my taste. I found, however, that that really depends on the type of song she sings. She does BEA-U-TIFUL ballads that can carry you away. The link is for the song "My Love"...my favorite one of hers (that is until I listen to "Breath me," which then quickly will be my favorite until hearing "My love" once more) Anywho...enough talk....

Er...non Musak Monday Music

So I know today isn't a Musak Mondays and I couldn't figure out an alliteration that was witty enough for music related non-funky friday (I know you like how I snuck that one in)..so there! Just felt like sharing this backwoods, bluesy, soulful, country, hometown tune with you.

What does your soul sing?

Do you have songs that personifies you?….like when people hear it they should automatically think of you. This is one of the songs I would want people to relate to me…the beauty of it reflects what I feel my soul looks like.

8 bars of what "soul" represents...

Another great one provided by @JaiField. C2C is a french DJ quartet that have won the DMC World Team DJ Championship four years in a row. Now I'm far from being an expert on the art of spinning records, but what I DO know is that in a time when anyone with a Macbook, Itunes, and a dream can be a "DJ" (my apologies if that was insulting to any DJ's our there..pardon my ignorance), it's really refreshing to be reminded about the skill and art that is truly involved.
This particular video is my favorite of their sets. Check out the other videos from 2003 and 2005.

I have been obsessed with Hometown Glory from the beautiful Adele for years. I have a lot of favorite songs but this one I can say is probably is in my Top 5. Adele doesn’t sing this song…she emotes this song. Yes I have a very personal relationship with Hometown Glory for years and am proud of it. I’ve heard many remixes and considered posting on but nothing does it like the original…

About a month ago, my friend @JaiField sent me two videos to check out which were different version of the same song. Video one is the original song from Band of Horses. Video two is Cee-lo Green's version. Even though I feel that the original song is pretty sweet ear candy, I adore Cee-lo's version and video better. I felt his video really embodied the carefree love of the music. Let me know what you think of No One's gonna Love You and which version tickles your ear more. :)

More Musak!!!

This group has been one of my favorites this year. Their music is heavily involved and encompasses multiple layers, ranges, and is always unexpected. There is a fine line that borders genuis and pure WTF?! Wild Beasts dances a sultry tango across that line and OWNS IT!!!
I present to you “Fun Powder Plot” off the album Two Dancers from Wild Beasts.

I plan to start sharing some of my current ear candy with all my lovelies. You’ll start to get a sense of what I adore in songs. To start you off, I’m posting a song by the lovely Janelle Monae. She brings a refreshing yet vintage style to the music scene. This track is “BaBopByeYa” off her latest album Archandroid. Her voice is a rare gem but what has me diggin’ this tune more and more these days is the arrangement.
