I owe my friend Deb an apology on this one. She was screaming about how amazing Florence + The Machine were practically all of last year (and even named Lungs as her album of the year), but for whatever reason, I wasn’t ever able to get into as much as she did. Well, that has [...]

5SF: april 16
It’s that time again, and I’ve got you five new songs for this Friday. Today’s selection is a little all over the place (some of it is a little out there, I’m warning you!), but each song deserves some love, as I have been digging each of these tracks lately. Let’s get started, shall we?
First, [...]
amazing news sotd: new Scissor Sisters!
Today, the Scissor Sisters posted the a song from their forthcoming album, Night Work, called Invisible Light, on their website. Thankfully, they also posted the song in its entirety on youtube, and as such, I get to gush about it here. Have a listen:
In a word? AMAZING.
The Scissor Sisters are back with their hotly [...]
sotd: Christina Milian – Dip It Low
I love this song; it is smoldering hot, and the chorus is damn dirty. I seriously cannot get enough of it, and it is one that I frequently request when going out dancing. What better to post on a Saturday that is certainly in need of a little energy; let’s all roll it all around, [...]
5SF: april 2
Happy Friday, everyone, it’s that time again; time for another installment of the five song Friday! First, here’s the music:
Now, a little something to read about each song as you listen:
The Bird and The Bee – Heard It On The Radio
The only “new” original track from their most recent release, a cover album/tribute [...]

sotd: City and Colour – Boiled Frogs
This was released not that long ago on iTunes, and any “new” material from City and Colour is always something to be excited about. This song is a “cover” of Alexisonfire’s song of the same name. I use quotations around cover, because it isn’t really a cover, so much as it is Dallas’ acoustic take [...]
song of the day: Erik Hassle – Hurtful
While I do realize it has been 2 weeks since the last 5SF, I had clinical today, and I am just too exhausted to wax poetic about five new songs. However, I do have enough energy to gush over one, so I thought I would do a song of the day to tide you over [...]
5SF: march 12
Today, I’m just winding down what has been a pretty uneventful spring break, but I can’t wait to bring these songs to you. There are some MASSIVE tracks that I have been playing on repeat for a while now, and I cannot wait for you to hear them. Let’s get started.
First up, as always, here’s [...]
5SF: february 26
Today, I am writing you from my prison of the last few days; I am laid out in my home after throwing my back out on Wednesday. It goes without saying, that right now, I am not a happy camper. However, that will not stop me from bringing you the 5SF I promised you this [...]
5SF: THE RETURN
Yes, you are reading that correctly; the five song Friday is BACK. As I have alluded to previously, I have been a bit busy with leaving my job, and starting nursing school; but that hasn’t stopped my passion for discovering and sharing new music. Today will have five songs that I have discovered since the [...]
the 31 best of 2009: 1-5
The time has finally arrived; here is the best of the best in music from 2009. These are the five albums that I loved the most, and when I say that it was hard to rank them, believe me; these are certainly the cream of the music crop from 2009.
1: A Camp – Colonia
Featured [...]

6: Silversun Pickups – Swoon
Silversun Pickups really remind me of high school a lot, in that their music reminds me of the way that I felt when I first truly knew that I loved music. Much like the way early Smashing Pumpkins got me into alternative rock, the Silversun Pickups picked up that torch [...]
the 31 best of 2009: 11-15
First off, is anyone still paying attention? Sorry for the delays for those of you that are… Alright, so I know what you are thinking, and YES, I promise to finish this damn countdown. This past week was my first week of nursing school, and as a result, I have been crazy busy. However, that [...]

16: Band of Skulls – Baby Darling Doll Face Honey
Using jangly guitars, banging beats, and sounding like a well-made mash-up of Chrissie Hynde and the White Stripes, Band of Skulls take heavy influences from classic rock and completely rock out on this fantastic album. Perhaps it is the pairing of the male and female [...]
