Titus Andronicus, Way Too Plugged

Nov 5, 2011, 1:50pm Cerulean's Love of Music

I guess if you're gonna get hit with an electric shock and have to go to the hospital, you might as well get a cool song out of it! Listen to Patrick Stickles of Titus Andronicus sing his new "Electric Man" song . I would probably just cry and wet my pants if that happened to me.

Florence and the Machine, "Shake It Out"

Oct 30, 2011, 9:10am Cerulean's Love of Music

Website Myspace Great song, great video, great performer. I think she looks a little like Siouxsie Sioux. Not the hair, obviously - just in the face. She looks like Siouxsie. This song also reminds me of something Siouxsie would have done - one of Siouxsie's more lively songs.

Valerie June

Oct 29, 2011, 1:18pm Cerulean's Love of Music

Valerie June is absolutely fantastic. I'd never heard of her before Thursday night - she opened for the band Balthrop, Alabama. I am so happy I got there in time to see her perform. She's one of the best musicians I've heard. "Rain Drop" and "Twas Twined and Twisted" are available at her Sonicbids site. Website Facebook Reverbnation

Pearl Jam 20

Sep 25, 2011, 8:34am Cerulean's Love of Music

Pearl Jam 20, the soundtrack to the new Cameron Crowe documentary, can be streamed in its entirety (or song by song) at AOL Spinner. 20 years ago I used to make fun of his strained voice in "Alive". It didn't take long for me to see the Vedder appeal. Maybe it's because his name sounds so much like Vader. Website (Download "Ole" directly - no signing up for mailing lists or anything!) Watch the full episode . See more American Masters.

This is very nice! Her voice reminds me a little of Tracy Chapman, though the style is a little folkier. She's won a new fan today :) (That's me). Amanda Shires' website I may not post much else this weekend - I'm moving *again*. I know. Third time in three years. What can I say? Circumstances, brothers and sisters. Circumstances. Also I think the batteries in my wireless mouse are going...
