ITS FINALLY HERE! The crew at 2AM Club has finally
released their first single of their much anticipated new album. Tell me you can’t imagine this being the song of the summer this year? It will definitely be the song you hear on the radio and in the clubs in the coming months. Check it out here first and spread the word!
Also, add it to your Spotify playlist or pick it up on iTunes!
Well at this point we have all settled in to the New Year. Our New Year resolutions are going strong, or in many cases already getting tedious or fading away. With most of the country set for cold or rainy weather this weekend, I thought I’d share a track that is perfect for vegging out at home.
Their entire first album is great so check it out, but here is one of my favorites from Denver folk-rock band The Lumineers entitled “Stubborn Love”. Watch the video too. Its wonderfully edited footage from their recent tours and gives you a great sense of the band to compliment the music.
At least that’s the best description I am able to come up with for the sound that comes from South Carolina’s NEEDTOBREATHE. Check out this track “Drive All Night” off of their 4th studio album called The Reckoning. They opened up for Taylor Swift on her 2011 tour so they definitely have some street cred right? Let me know what you think about them.
The chorus of “Im waking up, I feel it in my bones, Enough to make my systems blow, Welcome to the new age” made me feel like this was good track for the first day of the new year. Its uptempo and a little sinister sounding as well which is cool 
The song is “Radioactive” by Imagine Dragons (who I posted about last year before they started to blow up).
The video is interesting to say the least…I dont think it elevates the song to a higher level like you hope a music video would but it does include a Lou Diamond Philips cameo so all is not lost.
Check it out, Happy New Year, and I hope 2013 is filled with lots of good music for all of us!
One of my favorite romantic songs ever. Unfortunately they made a cheeseball video for this beautiful track, so close your eyes as you listen, but even the video can’t ruin the timeless beauty of “This Years Love” by David Gray.
Check out my 
buddy J.R. Biersmith‘s new web show “Just Droppin In” where he drops in on travelers, musicians and other interesting folks from around the world to capture a slice of their lives. This first one with surfer/traveler Kepa Acero is pretty cool and I like how Kepa is documenting his travels through video and music. Check it out!
Granted, 
there arent a ton of songs with November in them, but when I think of November and music I cant help but think of what I consider the greatest rock ballad of all time…November Rain by Guns N’ Roses.
This hit from their epic 1992 album Use Your Illusion I is legendary for a number of reasons:
I really dont know of a more epic rock ballad than this, what do you think?
Enjoy!

Now, enjoy Ray Charles singing my favorite rendition of American The Beautiful, live from the Dick Cavett show
Its well
documented that Muse is my favorite band in the world. I think their creativity in unparalleled, they write, arrange and produce their own music, and they seamlessly mix a variety of influences into their albums from hard rock to metal, trance, classical and punk. To me its perfect!
Their latest album came out a few weeks ago and to me it is fantastic. They didn’t just make more of the same, they tried new things and I think succeeded. Check out this video below, its a behind the scenes look at their making 3 tracks off their new album The Second Law, and they just so happen to be my 3 favorite track: “Madness”, “Big Freeze” and “Explorers”.
I hope you enjoy them like I do!
Check this track 
out called”Never Forget You” by Noisettes off their 2009 album Wild Young Hearts. Be forewarned, the track is infectious and you will probably have this feel-good tune stuck in your head for a while after listening. While this London band skews more indie/punk rock, this song brings you back to the doo wop feel good era of music. Enjoy and let me know what you think!
