Almost forgot about this. As I said in my Ecuador blog posts, my friend Tiffany reawakened my taste for punky, skater rock. Thus, one of the first things I did when back was pick up a handful of albums falling into that category. All Time Low came highly recommended from Tiffany, and I can see (hear) why. Their track "Weightless" seems to embody the genre. Taking Back Sunday and I had a fling one summer long ago. I picked that same album up, Where You Want To Be and it brought me back to those years. "Number Five With a Bullet" had a particularly large effect on me. Also, my good friend Serianna blessedly turned me on to Alt-J, a funky electronic band from England. "Breezeblocks" is one of those tracks I gravitate toward, almost subconsciously. Can't get enough of it. And finally, Jagwar Ma is a band I heard about through NPR. Groovy, semi-ambient electronic sound. Howlin is a fun listen, "Uncertainty" being one of the catchiest tracks.
Track List:
"Weightless" by All Time Low on Nothing Personal
"Number Five With a Bullet" by Taking Back Sunday on Where You Want To Be
"Breezeblocks" by Alt-J on An Awesome Wave
"Uncertainty" by Jagwar Ma on Howlin
