Baby D's Shuffle: Spring Edition

I have some stuff to blog about, but after writing so much yesterday I don't really feel like writing full paragraphs. Maybe I will later today. I think I'll do a shuffle in honor of spring. We've had some icky cold, rainy, and even SNOWY weather still in April so I am ready for some sun and warmth. Let's see what I can find for you. Instead of full random today, I'm going to search for keywords:

1. Fredrik - Rites of Spring
No. I'm looking for something more unplugged today. This just hurts my brain. This is not my type of music.

2. Liz Green - Who Killed Cock Robin?
Why did this happen?

3. Amos Lee - Flower
Sometimes I forget about Amos Lee, but I do like him. He comes up a lot when I'm on Pandora. It's not something that I intentionally go to, but I never seem to mind it when I hear it.

4. The Weepies - I was Made for Sunny Days
I've had The Weepies in my collection for a long time. They have a catchy sound, but their sound doesn't work for me every day. Still, good enough to listen to.

5. Beach Fossils - What a Pleasure
This song has a lot of plays in my iTunes, but I'm not sure why because I don't like it that much. Sometimes I forget and leave my iPod playing overnight, maybe it likes this song so plays it a lot when I'm not listening. It's not the worst song I've ever heard in my whole life, so it can stay.

6. The Empty Spaces - Holidays are Nice and Warm
A local band with potential. I haven't seen them live... but maybe I'll need to fix that problem soon. (Click the link above to download EP.)



7. Ben Weaver - Grass Doe
I do kind of like Ben Weaver. He's another I tend to listen to on Pandora a lot. I love his song, East Jefferson.

8. Lovehammers - Trees
Do you remember Marty from Lovehammers when he was on that Rockstar show? I do; he was one of my favorites. I still love this song of his... he sang it during the show and had recorded with his band as well. I don't really follow the band much, but this still gets listened to frequently. I like it's rock sound with a sweet message. Awww.

9. Steve Poltz - Slovenia Breeze
This is from his album, Noineen Noiny Noin, which is pretty hilarious to me. The song is a little draggy; has a retro sound that makes me think of that horrible song by the most horrible song ever recorded: America, A Horse with No Name.

10. Trampled by Turtles - Hammock Swinging
I felt a little guilty when I picked this one -- it felt like cheating because you already know I like TBT. I don't like this song though. I do like banjo music, but not this kind. It's a little too Deliverance for me.

I don't usually declare a Shuffle winner, but today I will. The winner is: The Empty Spaces.

Well, that's all for now. I have some grown up things to do, like laundry. I'm pretty sure laundry is what caused most of the dinosaurs to become extinct just to get out of doing it...
