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.

Songs/bands to check out:
"Right Now"- This Beautiful Republic
"Be Still"- Storyside B
"You'll Never Know"- Michael Rossback

Older songs to listen to:
"Hide and Seek"- Imogen Heap (The last minute of this song makes my heart ache!)
"So Alive"- Ryan Adams
"Honest Mistake"- The Bravery
