This has been an... interesting year, to say the least. I'm definitely glad to see it go, as it was a difficult one on so many levels. BUT! But, I had a freakin' stellar music year. I found new favorite bands, went to amazing concerts, was introduced to awesome tunes from all you music lovers, fell in love again with old favorites and just really had a blast listening to a ridiculous amount of stellar music.

I had no real plan for today's post, so I thought I'd just share a few semi-New Year-ish tunes. Thanks everyone for sharing your passion and friendship throughout the year! You guys are amazing! I wish you all every happiness in the world! Happy New Year!

Greetings, music lovers! Last Friday I was lucky enough to see American Authors headlining a tour with The Royal Concept! Oh my goodness, you guys... this concert was SO GOOD! Not only do they both sound amazing live, but they played songs from their upcoming albums! American Authors have their new album coming out in March (I know, so far away! GAH!), so keep an out for that. One song they played from the new album was particularly awesome. This album is going to be so amazing, you guys! I thought I'd share some of my favorites with you this week (other than those I've previously shared here). Oh yeah! They were joined by a band I wasn't familiar with, Mister Wives. They were fun, but I had a hard time understanding what they were saying. Oops! Still a great experience! So, without further ado, here are some amazing tracks from American  Authors and Sweden's The Royal Concept! Tally ho! (... I have no idea...)

So... I was watching a movie and I heard this song come on in the background that I hadn't listened to in a while. When I found myself bopping along (as I always do when I hear it), I decided it would be fun to share it this week! This song was Chasing Time by Alan Pownall.

I was listening to my iPod on shuffle during the most annoying drive to work last Friday, when my favorite song from The Sunshine Underground popped up. Instantly, I started singing along and the drive became much more bearable from then on out. I know this album, Raise the Alarm, is a little older, but if you can get your hands on it, do. It's my favorite one. I think The Sunshine Underground is really underrated, but I'm happy they're still producing awesome music. So yeah... happy listening!

This month's special Tune in Tuesday is all about the 90's! This is actually kind of funny because the very first Tune in Tuesday I participated in was during the 90's month. I had to make sure I didn't repeat any of the songs I used last time, so here are a few that were on repeat for me back in... oh my word, high school. High school! I am sooo old! Anyway, here are some classics for your listening pleasure.

I couldn't decide what I wanted to share this week. Well, rather I couldn't decide which song I wanted to share over the others. If that makes any sense. There were four songs I was going back and forth with, so I decided I would just share them all.  They all kind of remind me of Halloween, anyway... in a way... a little... sort of. Oh heck, just check 'em out.

I'm going to make this short and sweet. I've had this song stuck in my head a lot lately, so I thought it best to share it this week. I'm sure everybody has already heard this song, but it's so awesome that you can never listen to it too much. Happy listening, all!

So remember how I mentioned last week that I was able to see Frightened Rabbit the previous week? Well, this week is dedicated to someone I saw last Friday! I was so incredibly excited to see City and Colour live, you have no idea. Not only did I get to see him, but I also got to see The Paper Kites open the show! Oh my gosh, I really did almost die from sheer joy.

Talk about being ridiculously talented, oh my word! Dallas is SO FREAKING AMAZING live, you guys! He's so funny and he really knows how to interact with the crowd. I was so entranced by his awesomeness, I took like one picture... and it was blurry, of course. I dragged my sister with me again, so if she ever sends me her pictures, I'll share them with you. But seriously, if you have the opportunity to see City and Colour live, DO IT! You definitely won't regret it.

Last week I shared some tracks from Frightened Rabbit's newest album, so I think I'll do the same for City and Colour. If you haven't heard it yet, The Hurry and the Harm is a stellar album. So without further ado, here are some of my favorites from the new album. Happy listening, everyone!

Hello everyone! I hope all you music lovers out there are having a great week so far. For this week, I thought I'd share a group I was able to see live last Friday. Who might that be? Oh, only... Frightened Rabbit! What?! Yeah, I totally got to see them in concert and it was amazing! My sister went with me and we had a blast. She might not have known any of their songs, but that didn't keep us from enjoying it. Frightened Rabbit is seriously amazing live... they sound exactly like they do on their albums! Maybe even a little better! The opening act was a band from New York called Augustines (they're album comes out in January, I believe). They were really good, too... check them out if you haven't already!

The clearest photo... I seriously need to get used to my new phone...

Anyway, since I've already shared my favorite song, The Loneliness and the Scream, I thought I'd share some tracks from their newest album! Happy listening, everyone!

So it's the last week of Cover Edition. It's kind of bittersweet. I've had a blast sharing some of my favorite covers, but I'm also happy to be going back to regular posts. Anywhoozle... for this week, I thought I'd do things a little different. I'm going to share songs by a single band. There are heaps of covers for this bands songs. Heaps, I tell you!

It's here! It's finally here!!! I've been wanting to do a cover edition of Tune in Tuesday since I first joined back in the day! I have an entire playlist on my iTunes dedicated completely to covers. I love when a group/artist can put a new spin on a song and make you fall in love with it all over again. Sometimes the cover will even be for a song I didn't like before, but then found a new love for. I really like when it's difficult to choose which I like best: the cover or the original. Well, all month long I'll be sharing some of my favorite cover songs! I'm so excited you guys, you have no idea. Okay, without further ado, here are a few of my favorite cover songs!

So I was wanting to share a song from Bastille that's been stuck in my head all weekend... but then I realized I've already shared it! Ahem. So in its place, here's a group I've been loving the past couple weeks. The first song is my current favorite from Pete and the Pirates, though Half Moon Street (including this awesome acoustic version) and Little Gun (Stolen) are both creeping their way up to the top. Oh music, how I lobe thee!

Happy listening!

I'm going to go with a song that has been stuck in my head. I heard this after making a Pandora station for The Zolas (who I shared a few weeks ago). I fell head over heels in love with the sound of The Dig and this song simply won't leave my head. Thankfully, I don't mind in the least that it wants to linger. So, without further ado, here's the song I've been singing non-stop for the past week.

Tune in Tuesday (101): Bad Books

After last week's post, it's back to our regularly scheduled programming! I thought I'd share one of my current favorite songs. I love it when I put my iTunes on shuffle and rediscover my love for an old(ish) favorite. That's what happened with the first song, and since I can't seem to get enough of it, I thought it would be fun to share with you lovely people! And because one song by Bad Books simply isn't enough, I shared two. Though the second is a totally different speed, it's still an amazing song with amazing lyrics.

Happy listening!

I said it last week and I'll say it again... I'm loving my music this month! I haven't been listening to as much as I usually do - mostly because I've been listening to audiobooks on my way to and from work lately - but what I have been listening to is awesome.

I'm apparently having a lot of fun with my picks this month. First was my birthday week semi-special feature, then I shared a band I first heard on my birthday, followed by The Zolas last week, and now a song I fell in love with this weekend! It's been a good music month for me, needless to say.

So last week I mentioned it was my birthday and I was going to see an acoustic Anberlin set. Well, one of the opening acts was a band from Seattle, Campfire Ok. I really fell in love with their sound, you guys. I loved it so much, I had to share them with you this week! I tried to remember my favorites from the concert, but seeing as I had no clue what the songs were called, it was a bit difficult. With that said, here are a few Campfire Ok songs for you to get to know them!

You have no idea how freakin' excited I am for this show, you guys. Not to mention the fact it's ON my BIRTHDAY! Woo hoo! Okay, without further ado, here are a few acoustic Anberlin tracks.

Summertime Edition continues here on Tune in Tuesday! Remember how last week I said a couple artists/groups popped into my head when I thought of summertime music? Well, this is a group that is pretty much the epitome of summer, in my opinion. I have loved them since I was a tiny little thing and that love has only increased as I've gotten older. Without further ado, I present to you some great summery tunes by one of my favorite groups of all time: The Beach Boys!

Welcome to the first week of Summertime Edition here on Tune in Tuesday! I'm really, really excited about the theme this month, you guys. Summer is a great time of year - not for the horrid heat here in AZ, but definitely for the adventures to be had. Road trips, hanging out with friends, having fun... summer is the perfect time to explore. When I saw this was to be June's theme, a couple artists/groups immediately popped into mind... and one song in particular. To start this theme off, I thought I'd share that song with ya'll! So here's to a great summer!

This post kind of fits well with my Top Ten Tuesday post on my book blog, She Dreams in Fiction. It's a freebie week and I've decided to talk about some favorite author meetings, the topmost being Maggie Stiefvater. How does that fit with today's Tune in Tuesday? Well, I first heard this song a while back on Maggie's playlist for The Raven Boys. It just sounds like that book, ya know? I fell in love with it instantly and simply had to share it with you guys! The video is so strange and creepy, but I think I kind of like it. Besides, strange and creepy fits The Raven Boys, too. Enjoy and happy listening!

Another station find I made last month was this song by Half Moon Run. I do love those moments when you have to stop what you're doing and listen to the song playing. Though this video is really strange, I still love the song. It reminds me of something, but I can't quite put my finger on it. The song, not the video, I mean. Anywhoozle... I hope you enjoy!

I swear, 102.7 The Peak never lets me down. (Psst... you should give them a try, if you haven't already. THE BEST radio station in the world, I tell you!) I was streaming the station on my phone, channeling it through the sound system, when this song came on. I immediately stopped what I was doing and had to find out what this was! That was last month, so I couldn't share it just yet due to the special, awesome theme.. but now I can! So here ya go, guys. Here's a great song by Rah Rah. Happy listening!

This is going to be super quick because I'm doing this during my lunch break, but I wanted to share this song! I've had this track stuck in my head all April long, waiting for a regular Tune in Tuesday to come back. Well, now that it's May, I can share it! Yay! Here's one of my favorite songs of the moment by the ever-amazing The Honey Trees! I hope you enjoy!

The time has come. It's the last week of Road Trip Edition. It's been so much fun sharing all these tunes with you guys and hearing your picks, too! So far I've shared one of my most recent road trip mixes, an old mix, some random road trip favorites and a few CD's I could listen to repeatedly whilst traveling. What in the world could I share next? Oh, how about a group I fell in love with because of a road trip?! Which band might that be? Well...

We're nearing the end of our Road Trip Editions of Tune in Tuesday. This week I thought I'd share a few albums I love to listen to on road trips. Some people I've traveled with want a change in CD after the album has ended, but some albums I could just listen to over and over again... so I do. Here are just a few I've put on repeat over the years!

Another week of Road Trip Edition! For this week, I thought I'd share a few of my slightly unusual, unconventional, non-traditional road trip songs. Sometimes a road trip needs songs that are kind of slow, kind of old or just kind of... well, you'll see.

Road Trip Edition continues! Last week I shared one of my favorite road trip playlists from recent years. For this second week of Road Trip tunes, I thought I'd take a visit down memory lane and share one of my old road trip mixes circa 2004-ish. I decided to pick the CD that one of my roommates and I religiously listened to first whenever we took a road trip... which was quite frequently. There are quite a few random things on here, but some of them do have specific memories attached to them. I could ask that you don't make fun of me and my taste back then, but I've decided I'm not all that embarrassed after all. Some good memories were made with this mix, man! No shame in that, I say.

It's April! Guess what that means, music folks? It's Road Trip Edition on Tune in Tuesday! I am kind of known for absolutely HAVING to make playlists for trips. Sometimes they're full of songs that I'm currently obsessed with. Sometimes the songs have to do with what I'm traveling to or who I'm traveling with. Sometimes it's just a bunch of random songs that I like to sing to at the top of my lungs! Regardless, I love me some mix tapes.

When I first heard Believer by American Authors, it was one of those "love at first listen" moments. You know the ones, right? That moment when a song comes on and you instantly fall head over heels for it. It comes on at the perfect moment, in the perfect mood. It speaks to you, make you bounce up and down, makes you cry, whatever. You simply fall in love with it. Anyway, that was this song. I love it to bits! I love it so much, I had to immediately check out anything else I could find... and I was led to Best Day of My Life. SO good, too! I've decided that American Authors is going to be one of my new favorites. I simply can't get enough! More! I must have more awesome, feel-good music!!

I came across this song recently whilst listening to some new This Is My Jam friends... it was an instant like, so I thought I'd share it with you guys! I don't know if I'm the last person to fall in love with it (which is entirely possible), but I don't care. I like it heaps. Happy listening!

I think it's about time I share some Zee Avi on here! I actually can't believe I haven't yet. Hmm. Again, I couldn't decide which song I wanted to share more, so I decided to share both. I hope you guys enjoy them!

Welcome to March, everyone! Where in the world did February go?! Geez. Anywhoozle. On with Tune in Tuesday! Sometimes you just need a little bit of The Fratellis in your life, ya know? I couldn't decide which song to share, so I went ahead and shared these two. I actually kind of love how different they sound from one another. So much fun going on!
