I was EXCITED for new material and then almost hurt when I first heard it. But I'm in the camp of thinking Some Nights was one of the best of the year. Though admittedly, I didn't get into them until late 2011 so I had to go back to listen to A&I and was blown away. But I can see how people who listened to it long ago would be turned off by the new album. I would say though, the artist commentary for Some Nights on Spotify is really interesting to listen to.<br /><br />And I was being nosy and read about being inspired by new music and I think streaming services such as Rdio and Spotify are a great help.<br /><br />Lastly, I would also recommend the newest from The Gaslight Anthem as well as the debut from Alabama ShakesMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17632989830918654782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969303765880145371.post-65512934688131956122013-01-04T17:25:46.728-05:002013-01-04T17:25:46.728-05:00We just got Rdio and I have no idea how to use it....We just got Rdio and I have no idea how to use it. My husband is going to have to write up some sort of tutorial for me (I'm not dumb - I just live with an a/v NERD so our system is ridiculous.) <br /><br />Music I can't get enough of:<br />Father John Misty<br />The Killers (okay so stick with me here - nothing they've done since Hot Fuss really spoke to me and then their latest album came out and I was all "wellll it's okaaay I guess" and THEN I saw them live and ho-lee shit! What a great live show. Seeing them live has upped my appreciate of their music tenfold.)<br />Andrew Belle<br />Perfume Genius (but ... he makes me sad. So sad.)<br />David Usher (because I love him forever and ever amen.)Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10602816507915795709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969303765880145371.post-68269041808046426482013-01-03T22:57:48.929-05:002013-01-03T22:57:48.929-05:00Yes...

I'm so glad that they are making $$ and are super popular, since they have been working at it for so long, and they are very talented, but I just couldn't get into the album! They deserve all they are getting right now though!jessica mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04681137785594891236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969303765880145371.post-64620341742949945052013-01-03T22:55:55.273-05:002013-01-03T22:55:55.273-05:00The Menzingers are TOTALLY speaking to former self...The Menzingers are TOTALLY speaking to former self.

Then when I went back and listened to their first album I realized that it really can't compare. I think they tried to go too main stream as cliche as that sounds. I guess it worked since they've been everywhere.Ginnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686450030075980690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969303765880145371.post-68732641531085109212013-01-03T14:05:00.732-05:002013-01-03T14:05:00.732-05:00Recently I've been noticing that some new musi...Recently I've been noticing that some new music speaks to my former self - like the Menzingers, I love it, but it speaks to me as a late teen, early 20-something. I really got into Fiona this year because I was like YES! SHE GETS ME! Not many albums / artists make me feel that way anymore. <br /><br />I will be listneing in 2013! I am excited for Tegan & Sara's new album! YAY! Let's do this!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11959008692629894044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969303765880145371.post-64542572445677710302013-01-03T13:15:02.972-05:002013-01-03T13:15:02.972-05:00I will get on Handwritten via Rdio TODAY!

Easy peasy.<br /><br />I do think the music industry is real strange right now, and it's become hard to find the stuff that speaks to us (again, maybe our age?). I do think, as a 29-year-old woman, the stuff that truly speaks is Fiona Apple & Tegan & Sara (though I didn't like their last album, but The Con! THE CON!). Gwen used to speak to me... Return of Saturn-style, and even Rock Steady. It's just weird to hear about her famous insecurities over a dubstep beat, ugh. MCS songs like Happy Anniversary & Everyone Must Die & Timelines speak to me.<br /><br />But... inspiration? Hm. I'm going to make an effort to try to seek some out this year!! Or will I turn up empty? Is there new music out there that can inspire me? Speak to me? Let's do this Liz!!jessica mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04681137785594891236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969303765880145371.post-73302695457906453382013-01-03T12:59:17.742-05:002013-01-03T12:59:17.742-05:00YES!

I want to keep being inspired as well, but it's harder to find inspiring music it seems. <br /><br />I really loved a few tracks on the Avett Brothers - but as a whole you're right, it wasn't outstanding. Handwritten is worth a listen, still not as good as '59 Sound but better than American Slang. <br /><br />You're welcome!!! So glad you liked them! I'm going to see them in February and am so excited to rock out.

IT WAS YOU! HA.<br /><br />I didn't listen to Handwritten, but I did listen to The Avett Brothers. I was kind of meh.<br /><br />Maybe we are growing up. But I don't want to feel stuck, like, here's all my music and that's all I will like forever. I want music to inspire me again! These albums did a pretty good job. jessica mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04681137785594891236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969303765880145371.post-56506336807982453642013-01-03T11:57:57.510-05:002013-01-03T11:57:57.510-05:00I stopped seeking out new music too - I think I wa...I stopped seeking out new music too - I think I was sick of being disappointed. Also, by this point I know what I like and am pretty happy with the music I have - I guess that's part of growing up? <br /><br />Anyway! My list is super similar to yours. The Menzingers album was by far my most played and favorite. fun. bummed me out. So did No Doubt. Did you listen to Handwritten by The Gaslight Anthem? Or The Avett Brothers new album? I think you might like those. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11959008692629894044noreply@blogger.com
