Ben Harper

Burn one Down
This is from the album Fight for your Mind.  I love this entire album.  We listened to this album on our way over to the Oregon Coast for vacation with the boys in 2006.  The boys really enjoyed it. Funny, when this song pulls into the ipod shuffle, the boys always associate it with our trip to the coast for vacation.  Great Memory.  Thanks Ben!

PJ Harvey

I love Polly Jean!  Lyrics are kinda creepy though... Kinda stalker'ish. "Don't you wish you never met her?"
Polly is from Dorset, England.

Take Everything

Cary Brothers

I first heard his song on the Garden State soundtrack.  I loved his song and voice, so I ordered his cd on line.  I love every song on the album.  I am waiting to see him in a small acoustic setting.  That would be an amazing show.

Here is one of my many favorites... RIDE from the movie The Last Kiss.

Jollymon

Jollymon is a Eugene, Oregon band that Aric turned me onto back in the day.  I remember seeing these guys at Outback Jacks in the 90's. Amazing live performance if you ever got a chance to see them live.  Trippy sound, almost hypnotic beats.

Here is Time to Go.  It's a shame I can't find much on them on the web.  A great band that never made it big.

Nada Surf

Inside of Love
Amazing lyrics.  You can feel the longing...to be in love.

"I'm on the outside of love. Always, under or above.  I can't find my way in.  I try again and again.
I'm on the outside of love.  Always under or above.  Must be a different view.  To be a me with a you.
I wanna know what it's like, on the inside of love.  Standing at the gates.  I see the beauty above.
I wanna know what it's like on the inside of love.  Of course I'll be alright.  I just had a bad night. "

Incubus

Nice to Know you
Do you have a band that you love, but tend to forget about in the shuffle?  That's how I feel about this band. I have so many songs in my ipod, that I sometimes forget about bands.  When Incubus pops up...it's such an awakening.  "Oh yah....I forgot about them?"  Here is my oh yah moment for you.

I saw these guys live several years ago, pre kids.  I believe 30 second from Mars opened for them at the raceway.  Good show.

Save me some time

Just pick me up

On A and 9th

Save me some time

The streets are slow

Can we go

For a ride?

You want me completely

And I'm ready

And so I began

The double life

I began the double life

Save me some time

Just take me out

On A and 9th

Save me some time

I always wanted to wake up

On the Lower East Side

You want me completely

And I'm ready

And it's fine

And so I began

The double life

I began the double life

I wasn't paying attention

And you quietly reeled me in again

I wasn't paying attention

And you quietly reeled me in again

And after all the games

It's business as usual again

It's just business as usual

Save me some time

I looked out into

The eager night

Save me some time

I can't tell any more

What's yours and what's mine

Against Me!

Such a great break up song.  "We're breaking up".  There isn't a video for this, so I found someones live footage.  White Crosses is a really great album.  I would like to see these guys again soon.  Who could break up with Tom?

The Gaslight Anthem

The Gaslight Anthem is from New Brunswick, New Jersey.

I really like this band.  They have a Bruce Springsteen feel to them. My hubby never really liked the Boss, so he isn't into them, but I love them and the Boss.  I couldn't decide which video to post, so I'm posting an older one and a newer one.  Love the sleeve tats.  Who doesn't love a "bad boy".

Here is The '59 sound from their 2nd album.

Here is American Slang, from their third album.
