This Love (Live, Acoustic) – Maroon 5 Maroon 5. Man. What a turn these guys took. Songs About Jane is still and will forever be one of my favorite albums of all time, and Adam Levine has one of the coolest voices out there. The move they have made from a rock band with pop Read more

What Goes Around…/…Comes Around – Justin Timberlake Regardless of what you think of him, there is no denying that Justin Timberlake is one of the most talented performers of the 2000s and is responsible for many hits during that era. He has a really cool voice and has some absolutely killer production on his albums, Read more

Fallin’ to Pieces – Rob Thomas Rob Thomas and his album …Something to Be have such a nostalgic feel for me; I don’t know if one of my parents had this on CD or if these songs just got that much airplay on the radio during the early 2000s, but these songs immediately take me Read more

Hard Times – Paramore Haley Williams is one of the coolest frontwomen of all time, bringing an awesome energy and great vocals to all their songs. Traditionally, I think Paramore is considered a rock band, but like many rock acts of the 2000s (Fall Out Boy comes to mind), their sound has evolved over time, Read more

Sunday Morning – The Velvet Undeground One of the most well-known, if not the most, Velvet Underground songs, “Sunday Morning” is a sickly sweet, introspective look at life. The song was written with Nico‘s voice in mind, but Lou decided to sing it himself. Nico does take back up vocals though! I’ve seen quite a Read more

You Can Call Me Al – Paul Simon Apologies for the late post today! The 80s are certainly the least visited era of music on this blog, not by design or anything, but more to do with my own taste. With that being said, semi-recently, I did feature Duran Duran, and in recent years, especially Read more

Rio – Duran Duran Happy Friday! I remember listening to Duran Duran on the radio in the car on the way to school when I was a kid pretty vividly; in particular, I remember really liking “Hungry Like the Wolf,” but that was about the extent of my Duran Duran knowledge until coming across “Rio” Read more

This Must Be The Place(Naive Melody) [Live] – David Byrne Happy Friday! The Talking Heads have more recently become one of my go to bands to listen to on regular rotation. If you haven’t seen their concert film, Stop Making Sense, I highly recommend it. There was a recent remastered version released by A24, I’ll Read more

Alaska – Maggie Rogers I was first introduced to Maggie Rogers through her feature on Zach Bryan’s song “Dawns“, or so I thought. After a quick Google search, I realized I had seen her before. In 2016, (I think) Maggie was a student at NYU, taking a master class with the legendary producer Pharrell Williams. Read more

Malibu & Assorted Covers – Miley Cyrus Happy Friday! I don’t really listen to much modern pop music for a multitude of reasons, but I really love Miley Cyrus’s voice. I think she has one of the better voices in music today, actually. I love when she covers songs, and I’ll link some of my Read more
