The Music 029 - Emily

Back once again to continue the A-Z of Ballads.  Sorry it's taking me so long for some of these, but I'm to lazy to be making the video, uploading it to YouTube, and posting it on the blog.  I want to share the music, but I don't want to do everything in the process.  Whatever.  Anyway so this song is by a band named Hollowell.  To be honest, I only have a little under half a dozen of their songs and I'm not sure what else they've done, but I love their sound.  They somewhat remind me of Honestly (which I will eventually post on this blog, I've got it queued up and ready to go.  Anyway, enjoy the song, and I'll actually be back in just a few minutes with the next post!

The Music 023 - Sweet Disaster

It's a new week, so it's time for some more music!  Today's song is by a guy named Nate Davenport.  I found this guy from ourstage radio, which is a fantastic site (I think I mentioned it before).  Other than that I know almost nothing about this guy, but I like his music, and that's all that really matters.  With that all being said, I've only listened to a couple of his songs, and I haven't gone out of my way to see if he's put out any new music.  But I'm gonna change that when I'm done posting this song here, because this guy is a diamond in the rough.  Unfortunately there isn't a YouTube video for this song, and I'm too lazy to go make one, so I'm just going to link you to the OurStage Radio page for the song.  Be that as it may, you still should enjoy it, and while you're there check out some other stuff!  Click here.

The Music 016 - Uncovered

Today's post is on time for once!  Today's off to a pretty good start, especially since you get to listen to some really good music.  Granian is another one of those bands that, unfortunately, only put out one album and then broke up.  One of the members went and created another band, Kill the Alarm, and put this song on that album as well (probably because they wrote it and had the rights to it).  While Kill the Alarm is a really good band too, I wish Granian was still together, there was just something different about them.  Uncovered is a really smooth song that will be stuck in your head for weeks at a time and I definitely recommend you check out the rest of their stuff when you finish listening (since I know you'll like it).  I'll post some more music later if I find something I think you need to hear.

The Music 014 - Jag it Up

Time for something that ins't rock or pop, but something entirely else.  From a band called Gumshen, who I know almost nothing about, comes one of two songs I actually listen to of theirs, Jag it Up.  This is a long song, but not quite as long as their other song (which I will probably post at some point along the line).  All I can say about this song is it's kinda funky (I guess), but it's real good.  Well since this is my 'second' post for today, and today is Friday, I think I'm gonna be done for the day, unless I feel the urge to post again later.  So until then, enjoy what I've posted up until now, and I'll be back on Monday (at the latest).

The Music 001 - Glasswork

Alright, well I fiddled around with the blog a little, but I'm lazy, and my computer just brought this song up on shuffle, so I had to put it up.  This song is by a band known as VOLA, and I found them quite a while back through Ourstage Radio, which is where new bands try to get themselves out and into the public's eyes and ears.  While 99% of the stuff on there is just a bunch of crap, I'd inevitably come across that one diamond in the rough.  THIS IS THAT DIAMOND.  I can't tell you how much I love this song, so I'm just gonna tell you to listen to it.  Unfortunately, this song hasn't been uploaded to YouTube since the day I found it, but I took the liberty of doing that myself this afternoon, just so I could link it here.

Enjoy,
