#14 : Shape Of My Heart

Wasn't January a good month to listen and search around for some new artists? Well, I certainly think it was; and here is what I have to offer y'all! (Btw, my birthday is in TWO days YIPPEEEE!)

"Wagon Wheel"
Old Crow Medicine Show
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gX1EP6mG-E
- The first and most likely, only country band that I have found and actually enjoyed. Their soft melodies accompanied with a cello and violin go hand in hand and make for an easy listen.

"You've Made Me So Very Happy"
Blood, Sweat and Tears
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOnN18dTm0g
- Very jazzy. And extra snazzy! I'd say a mix between Frank Sinatra and Tom Jones (This goes out to all the ladies. ;D ).

"Breakfast Club"
Z-Trip feat. Murs and Supernatural
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gP4u4I96DVQ
- A story about every Saturday morning in 1999; told through 5 minutes of merry verses and beats.

"XR2"
M.I.A.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eLqp3OHJH0
- A roller coaster of rhythms.

"One Better"
Les Claypool
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqtAaYhhVYQ
- Two words : Bass God.

"Heart of Chambers"
Beach House
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNQ97P0rQk8
- A lazy voice that reminds me of Feist and Cat Power. Very soft and delicate consisting of mostly keyboard and light drumming.

"Animal"
Miike Snow
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niKT-kJfUz4
- If Anthony Caleb Followill had a child with the members of Pheonix; this would be it. (If you're looking for something more electro and with a heavier beat, check out the Punks Jump Up remix of this)

"Are You the One"
The Presets
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JT3eLB61zts
- Credit to Ka'nika for this one. Very dark sound with voices like the men of Shiney Toy Guns. Oh, and some excellent background dancing.

"There Is A Light That Never Goes Out"
The Smiths
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INgXzChwipY
- I love these lyrics. "To die by your side, is such a heavenly way to die."

"Paradise By the Dashboard Light"
Meatloaf
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tF4Im8Gexs
- I think this would make a good chastity musical.

"Paris Makes Me Feel Like Dancing"
Something A La Mode
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUlJp7H-1Vo
- This song makes me feel like dancing. Very Justice-ie.

"Whistle"
Sporto Kantes
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3lA-3Q_QUU
- Oh so very happy-go-lucky. Sort of reminds me of the Beatles.

"Harrowdown Hill"
Thom Yorke
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-UXk42ZY4o
- I really wouldn't know how to describe this song. Radiohead with a whooole lotta bass.

"Imitosis"
Andrew Bird
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnXCzFnkxtY
- Tall, Dark and Mysterious.

"Sleepyhead"
Passion Pit
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zherMkcXdo
- Can shouting be cute? I think so. (For those of you who watch television, this will be recognizable)

Enjoy!
