I’ve always wished I knew more about music, and this is part of my Life List project to listen to 1,000 new songs. Right now I’m up to 513, and on Fridays I share some of my new favorites. If you’d like to share some music with me, please send your picks to maggie at mighty girl dot com, and I will listen to them.
All of this music is from Tess Evans, who sent me a CD. I’ve been getting lots of CDs in the mail, and they make me so nostalgic and happy. Thanks to everyone who has sent one. You are rad.

“As soon as I love her it’s been too long.”
Summer Special from Land of Talk
Don’t Bother Me from the Blakes

Oh Maggie, you have to listen to Internet Killed the Video Star:
Ambling Alp is an AMAZING song! I saw Yeasayer earlier this year and they were one of the best shows I’d seen live. They are just so full of energy; it infects the crowd and soon everyone is dancing with everyone and smiling. It’s pretty great. It helps that the bassist, Ira Wolf Tuton (whatta name!), is adorable too.
Do check out their Take Away Show that they did in Paris, France. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8llsiEIvvM0
My husband does a lovely version of “Dominoes” replacing the chorus with “These cookies are Oreos, Oreos”
maggie, do you know about newnormalmusic.com? my 20 something kid neighbors love it and since they only play brand new music and no repeats, you can hit your 1000 new songs in no time, i’d imagine. it’s good.
love getting new music from your friday mixtapes!
have you heard guster’s latest song? ‘do you love me?” infectious pop. with bells.
after you love that song, then listen to some of their others ~ amsterdam, one man wrecking machine, careful, what you wish for, manifest destiny, i spy, keep it together, hang on, i hope tomorrow is like today, bad bad world
ok, i’ll stop now.
