The Cab - I Am Who I Am (feat. Eloquent)
I AM Who I AM [feat. Eloquent]… from The Lady Luck EP
This song is pretty awesome. It’s got a great strong beat and a full glitzy band sound. I like the vocals and while I don’t completely understand the lyrics, they rhyme pretty well. The rapping doesn’t interrupt or take away from the song. A real head bob inducer. The other song that I like from this album:...

Hey Monday - Candles →
Hey Monday - Candles (from Hold On Tight) Listen to full track on last.fm.com
The best thing about this band is that the lead singer is female! The intro isn’t anything special, and the instrumentation isn’t particularly mindboggling, but it supports nicely. The electric guitar/drums that enter for the second verse feel disruptive, but it all smooths out nicely and culminates for...

WatchTake That - Today I’ve Lost You
Please ignore the visual video portion. I couldn’t find the full song on lala.com so I’m using youtube instead. It was between this video and a concert performance and this one was less awkward and not live.
I found this song through a little searching and it kind of reminds me of something that might come on KOAST FM 103.5. I think it fits in...

SWAY YOUR HEAD - We Shot the M…
It’s been tough convincing myself that I am capable of achieving things when I feel like a lot of the time, I really can’t. I was listening to a particularly morose-sounding wallow-y song when I realized it was time for a soundtrack change. Sway Your Head by We Shot the Moon is a perfect inspirational song. I know my good friend Michelle...

Christmas/ Sarajevo 12/24 [Ins…
Revisiting my middle school and for the first time attending the winter concert instead of performing in it (9 years ago) has brought back many fond memories of my music director Mr. D and the performances of some spectacular music. For this rocking piece, we outfitted our symphony orchestra with a drumset and electric guitar/bass. Imagine playing...

The Paper Raincoat - Brooklyn Blurs
Brooklyn Blurs - The Paper Rai…
The best song on the album, in my opinion. Kind of feels like you’re on a train, which works perfectly with the opening lines “I took the L (?) train up from the ocean.” At 1:38, along with the line “this city swells up like a symphony,” the strings swell up as well! It’s fantastic! The violin notes support nicely and the xylophone adds...

WatchThis is very interesting. An Italian guy wrote a song that’s really just gibberish, but it sounds like it could be in English. This is apparently kind of what English sounds like to foreigners. Thanks Liane, for the link :)
