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 1,017 (so there’s a check off post in my future!), and on Fridays I share some of my new favorites. If you’d like to share some music with me, please link to your picks in comments, and I will listen to them.

It All from Lou Rhodes
Capturing Moods from Rilo Kiley

Happy to see local boy Dan Wilson in your new mix & thought I’d share another MN boy with you, Jeremy Messersmith. One of my favorites from the past year is this song Violet http://jeremymessersmith.bandcamp.com/track/violet
I love Lazy Bones from the same CD too.

You should definitely take a listen to the Seattle based band Cataldo and their album Signal Flare. Its been on permanent rotation for the last six months.

hooray for checking things off and for the super fun journey to getting to that check off point!
here’s something I learned recently (a few hours ago). Checking things off can be really amazing and really scary all at the same time. What’s with that?
AND. I adore Rilo Kiley.

I *so* love these posts.
I wish I could compile all the songs into a playlist… a project for some lazy Saturday afternoon, for sure.
Thanks, Maggie!

These posts are great! Here are two of my favorite bands (so great live!):
Yonder Mountain String Band “How ‘Bout You”
String Cheese Incident “Joyful Sound”
Just came across a video of Stagger & Sway’s “Sam Bond’s Garage”. Mike Last is my cousin’s husband and haven’t seen them live yet, but love their sound.
