i've created another playlist if you want to see what i've been listening to this winter. you need something to get you through these cold, rainy months! here are a few artists who made it on the list:
:: walk the moon
:: love inks
:: the war on drugs
:: alabama shakes {i heard these guys were all the rage at SXSW!}
i'm working on another playlist to share soon. it's called old, new, old, new and i think it's going to be really fun!
ever since whitney houston died last week, i can't stop listening to all of my favorite whitney hits. i made a playlist that's been on repeat. 'i wanna dance with somebody' is one of my all-time favorite songs! love you, whit!
i'm currently rocking out to lana del rey. self-described as the gangster nancy sinatra, i love her sound and her song 'video game' is one of my favorite songs of 2011. i'm looking forward to her full album coming out on january 31st. she'll be the musical guest on SNL this week too!
i really love the last few weeks of the year because of the all the 'best of' lists that come out. i decided to make my own 'top songs for 2011.' there were so many i divided them into two lists - top songs and top songs pop. and for easy listening they are on spotify here and here.
album covers from top songs.
album covers from top songs pop.
what are some of your favorite songs and albums of 2011?

:: ryan gossling wasn't named the sexiest man alive, boo! but his movie drive and the soundtrack were awesome!
:: momofuku's milk bar has the best cookies, make your own.
the other evening my girlfriends marge, wexler and i hit a double feature to see footloose {skip it} and drive. drive was amazing! action packed, long shots of ryan gossling in a rockin' scorpin jacket, adorable carey mulligan and the music was fantastic. some of my favorite songs from the movie were:
'under your spell' - desire

'a real hero' - college, electric youth

'i'm on fire' - chromatics. the actual chromatic song in the movie is 'tick of the clock' but i coudn't find it on spotify. this song is a great cover and a gives you a good sense of their sound.

while i was searching kcts 9's site for information i came across a short documentary about the seattle music scene called "something in the water." "something in the water" aired after pearl jam twenty and the whole thing is now online. if you're interested in seattle music, or just music in general, check it out. some of my favorite kexp djs are in it too!
