Hello, people of the internet. I realize it has been quite some time since I last blogged, but I promise I have something good to make up for it.

MUSIC!

I have been frequenting a pretty cool site in the last week or so called The Hype Machine. Basically, this site collects links and articles from tons of music blogs, and posts them in a handy list. You can search for specific artists and songs, or just read them all as they are posted. Each blog post has a link to listen to or download the song they are discussing, which is really awesome. So, I decided today to introduce you to some of the awesome songs I have been introduced to by The Hype Machine.

Northshore by Tegan and Sara Album: Sainthood

Other notable tracks: Hell, Don’t Rush, On Directing

If you continue reading this blog, Tegan and Sara Quin will probably be mentioned a lot. They are my favourite. These awesome Canadian twins have been making amazing music for years, and recently released their 6^th album, Sainthood. Above is a link to Northshore, a song that has quickly risen as one of my top tracks on iTunes. The lyrics are strong and powerful, and the song is good to listen to to let our anger, and is just generally awesome. Buy the full album on iTunes or Amazon.

Kiss With a Fist by Florence and the Machine

Album: Lungs

Florence and the Machine has been on my list of people to listen to for quite some time now, and I am glad I at least started now because I'm not sure how much longer I could have gone without her awesomeness. Another fun angry track, Kiss With a Fist has an awesome beat makes me want to dance around the room and just let it all out. Buy Lungs on iTunes or Amazon.

The Call by Regina Spektor

Album: The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian Original Soundtrack

I've loved Regina Spektor for a while. Her most recent album, Far, is all kinds of awesome. However this song is not from that CD, but from the soundtrack to The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. I did not actually see the movie, but I'm sure it was awesome because they had Ms. Spektor on the soundtrack. I heard the song on a video/picture montage at my camp, and immediately fell in love. The lyrics and music are absolutely beautiful. Buy the movie soundtrack on iTunes or Amazon.

Enjoy! Let me know what you think of the tracks!
