Music!
Friday, June 29, 2007
I'm a huge fan of music. I'm always on the look out for up and coming bands. It's hard for me to not post about music everyday, but I'm sure most of you are not coming here to read about music. But since it's friday I thought I'd do something different. Hopefully you'll enjoy this post and can learn a little more about me from what I listen too.
Everyday has to start with a little Imogen Heap. If you don't know Imogen Heap, maybe you know Frou Frou. Frou Frou which was Imogen Heap's first project was featured on the garden state soundtrack. By the way I think that was the best soundtrack of all time. I get a lot of my new music tips from Zach Braff, who directed the garden state. I'm pretty sure he hand picked the songs for the soundtrack too. He always knows the best new artists!
The Shins were new to me also when the garden state soundtrack was released. I've become a fan ever since. They have a very different sound, and different is good.
Along with being a huge music fan, I live for concerts. This weekend I'm going to see Ben Folds. I've never got to see Ben Folds 5 so this should be good! Some other concerts I have coming up this summer are Counting Crows and Modest Mouse.
But I can't leave out one of my favorite bands:
I actually have front row seats for The Killers concert. I saw them once before and it was awesome.
As I'm writing this post I realize that not only do these musicians make wonderful music that gets me through my days but they have incredibly well designed web sites. I guess it all goes together, you can't make great music and have a poorly designed brand.
Here are a few more of my favorites. Enjoy.
Fort Minor
Amy Winehouse
Pete Yorn
O.A.R
Remy Zero
The Postal Service
Snow Patrol
My Morning Jacket

Nice choices! The Shins, Modest Mouse, and The Killers are some of my favs! And Ben Folds, of course. LOVE HIM! You are going to have such a good time. I never got to see Ben Folds Five either, but I've seen Ben Folds solo 4 times. And each time is better than the last!
If you like Imogen ~ check out rehearsals.com... not spamming you, in fact i'm not a huge fan of hers, but how she goes about making her music is amazing!
The video that blew me away:
javascript: playMedia("high", "/nlr/090306_ilk_imogenheap_01_a_350.wmv","/nlr/090306_ilk_imogenheap_01_a_700.wmv", "v_auth");
Imogen Heap is so cool.
The groove, the vibe, the unique original mellow sounds.
lu luv luv Ms. Heap!
