So much music!

Simple blog today

Artists to check out:
The Color Fred: Debut album is so good! "Hate to See You Go" is without a doubt the best song on the album, but there are some other great ones as well such as "If I Surrender." Check him out, used to be in Taking Back Sunday, really talented guy!

Hearts Last Surrender: Ok the guy in this band is an acquaintance of mine, was in a wedding with him not too long ago. Best song he has right now is "You and Me," his voice reminds me of Dave Elkins of Mae. Hopefully he'll be able to put out some more music because he's got a great voice.

The Graduate album "Anhedonia" has got some great songs. The title track, as well as "The City That Reads" are very catchy. I still love the song "Sit and Sink," but I liked the way it was originally recorded.

Graham Colton came out with a new album this fall called "Here Right Now." Hard to beat his last album "Drive," which I completely loved. However, the follow up is well done too. Pretty poppy, and really enjoy the songs "Can't Forget About You," and "Telescope," and "On Your Side."

Lastly, Falling Up, album named "Captiva," is on my top list of the month. I like every song I've heard. Album was produced by Aaron Sprinkle, who also produced Anberlin and the Almost. I love "Maps," "Goodbye Gravity," and "Hotel Aquarium," which are all on their music Myspace. So if you're interested in hearing them check out their myspace. Myspace.com/fallingup.

Just a few songs I like a lot:
"I Will Never" by Carmen and Camille
"Glory" by Communion
"They'll Never Know" by Ross Copperman
"Footprints" by Tayla Hodges (new artist, younger voice, but a lot of possibility)

Older songs I've listened to quite a bit today:
"All My Tears," by Jars of Clay
"Communion" by Third Day
"Slow Dancing in a Burning Room" by John Mayer

Album to listen to:
"Welcome to Reality" by Ross Copperman

First blog and explanation

Ok so I was telling someone the other day about how much I want to be a recording label scout and she suggested I write out bands, songs, and albums that I'm loving. So this is going to be my music blog, enjoy!

So for starters, on the mainstream side, the One Republic album Dreaming Out Loud, is really good. I heard their song "Apologize" in 2006 and and the older version of "All We Are" not too long after. Both were really great songs, but the latter of the two was re-done on this album and the new version is so good! Another great song off the album is "Say." Their sound reminds me of The Fray, easy listening. The beginning of "All We Are" makes me stop what I'm doing and just listen, so check it out!

Also, check out Landon Pigg. His single "Can't Let Go" caught my attention last winter, other great songs by him are "Great Companion" and "Coffee Shop." Keep an eye out for his stuff.

Lastly some Christian artists I'm loving: go to myspace (because I can't find them on I-tunes) and check out The Undeserving, specifically the song "Something Real." Take a look at the album "Even Heroes Need Parachutes" by This Beautiful Republic.
