Music Report 2/7/2008

Last week a fellow music connoisseur was kind enough to feed my music addiction with gigs upon gigs of music. The only way for me to get through the day in my little cubicle world is to listen to music. It drowns out the sounds of enginerding at its best... so this may be music overload, but that's exactly what I'm experiencing at the moment. I'll have more next week...and most likely every week thereafter.

If you don't know, now ya know (Some bands and recommended tracks):

• Mates of State
• Okkervil River
• Stateless - The track Bloodstream might possibly be the sexiest song I've heard in a while
• The Boy Least Likely To
• The Photo Atlas
• St. Germain - Laid back jazz beats
• The Bird and the Bee
• Georgie James
• MGMT - Time to Pretend
• Black Mountain - Coming to Houston soon...Angels is terrific
• Bell X1 - Used to be a band with Damien Rice...Rocky Took a Lover rocks
• Yeasayer - Check out the track Sunrise
• Say Hi - Northwestern Girls

That's all you get for now....

For my friends of the mainstream, Jack Johnson's new album was released on Tuesday. The first single, "If I Had Eyes" is sooooo good! He just signed on to the Bonnaroo line-up. Let's keep our fingers crossed that he will make a stop in Houston...hopefully with G. Love in tow!
