Listening

I just returned from a Hawaiian vacation with my family, my brother-in-law’s family and Papa…totally enviable, I know. I count myself very lucky.

One of our favorite things to do when we’re together is play DJ – creating a soundtrack for the evening as we take turns sharing tunes.  So here are some of the songs / artists at the top of my picks last week :


The Vespers – The Fourth Wall : Close My Eyes; Will You Love Me

Mumford & Sons – Babel : I Will Wait & Sigh No More : White Blank Page

Frightened Rabbit – Pedestrian Verse : Acts of Man; The Woodpile

Bon Iver – Calgary : I Can’t Make You Love Me / Nick of Time above is a great video that includes this song

Damien Rice & Lisa Hannigan – Even Better Than The Real Thing : Get The Party Started 

Herbie Hancock with Lisa Hannigan – Possibilities : Don’t Explain

The Lone Bellow – The Lone Bellow : You Never Need Nobody

The Lumineers – The Lumineers : Stubborn Love; Ho Hey

Ugly Duckling – Journey to Anywhere : A Little Samba

The place I like to hear new music is KCRW – Morning Becomes Eclectic with Jason Bentley and on the weekends, Ann Litt

Feel free to comment with some of your music favorites.
