Music

When it comes to ambient music, no other band comes close to reaching the amount of emotion Stars Of The Lid infused into their songs.

If you dig instrumental reggae, 10 Ft. Ganga Plant is a band you should certainly have in your music library.

One of my favorite bands in high school was Alexisonfire. Pronounced “Alexis on fire”, this “post-hardcore” (whatever that means) band hails from chilly Ontario, Canada. I absolutely love the hard-driving nature of their music.

Their four albums, “Alexisonfire”, “Watch Out!”, “Crisis”, and “Old Crows/Young Cardinals” are each masterpieces from start to finish. If I had to name the 5 most talented bands in the history of music, Alexisonfire would definitely be in that list. No bands rock harder than Alexisonfire, Chevelle, and Thrice.

Week 47 brings three bands to the blog: Ty Segall, Forth Wanderers, and Soccer Mommy.

Given a million years, I would never have guessed that the band Beirut originated in Sante Fe, New Mexico. My first guess would have been a country in Eastern Europe.
