Music For Your Ears

Or music to your ears. Whichever. My husband has been awake working until 2 am (and getting up at 5am!) on some computer geek project the past three days. Needless to say, he went to bed early! I am a night owl, so I thought I would do something I haven't done in awhile and blog about some new music. I've been listening to a lot of new and different stuff - I'm still into my guster and my keane and travis, but have been branching out a bit. You may or may not be a fan!!!

Ian Brown has really been growing on me over the last few weeks. He is actually the former lead singer of the madly popular English band called The Stone Roses. They were big back in the late 80s. He's put out a lot of solo albums since leaving the bandin 96, but the one I've been listening to the most is 'The Greatest' which is essentially a greatest hits. He's been able to fuse dance and rock music together which is so cool. Smooth voice, good dance beat? Works for me! His music is mixed really well and the collaborations with DJ Unkle are some of my faves. He's a weird looking guy. If you're a big CSI fan, you might have heard some of his stuff on the show! Supposedly he's pretty good live, so maybe if he ever comes this way I can check him out!

Check out some of his stuff.....

'Reign' with Unkle


'F.E.A.R'


Eternal Flame - no this is not a Bangles cover!


'Lovebug' - silly, but super cool!!!


'All Ablaze'


'Keep What You Got' - with the Gallagher bros from Oasis who were totally inspired by Ian Brown apparently


And this last song isn't on 'The Greatest' but I think it could very well be my favorite!

'Set My Baby Free'


So there you have it! As I always say, it's good to try new things. Music isn't an exception!!
