The Mynabirds : Numbers Don't Lie
I've only made it to two shows this summer (an all time low I think) and this was one of them. This band from Omaha, NE is absolutely outstanding. If you haven't already been listening to them, start doing it now. Now.
The Avett Brothers : Head Full of Doubt/Road Full of Promises
These guys were the second show I saw this summer. I saw them last summer at Sasquatch and thought they were pretty rockin, so took the opportunity to see them headline. I was not disappointed. There song "Kick Drum Heart" has been known to add an extra umph to my workouts, too.
Mumford & Sons : Little Lion Man
I saw these guys several years ago at a tiny little dive bar in London and sort of forgot about them until they came blasting across the radio waves on 94.7. I am now sad for all the years I missed them.
Janelle Monae : Tightrope
Such an outstandingly killer tune. Every time I hear it I just wanna dance. Dance, baby, dance. My legs move a little faster when this comes on my Shuffle.
Scissor Sisters : Fire with Fire
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Jake Shears makes me want to be a gay man. Night Work was well worth the wait and is an fabulously gay rock opera. Loves it and can't wait to see them in September.
Florence + the Machine : Dog Days are Over
I've known about this band for quite some time, but have to admit it wasn't until seeing the preview for Eat, Pray, Love that I had no choice but to download their album. So. Good.
David Bowie : Modern Love
Because I am a sucker for the classics and this song speaks to me on an unearthly level.
