I had a rad weekend. It was filled with new friends, sun, the beach, and lots and lots of dancing. New friends brought new music. It's a little different than what I've been listening to lately but it was real good stuff, so it was a breath of fresh air. It's influenced by a lot of electronic/house music so it's great to dance to but it's also really chill stuff. The first song is Polish by Neon Indian and the second is Mouthful of Diamonds by Phantograms. This is good stuff so relax, listen to both, and maybe dance a little.

Ben Kweller - You Can Count On Me
Let's talk about band loyalty for a sec. Ben Kweller became one of my favorite artists back in 8th grade. I've seen him live multiple times and have always been so impressed. BK is special to me. When you like and follow an artist for that long, it's hard to not like something that they put out. I think Ben could've covered Boot Scootin' Boogie on this album and I still would've loved it. Good thing he didn't though. Here's a good one from his newest album "Go Fly A Kite" that came out just last week.

Fun. - We Are Young
If you watched the Super Bowl (or if you just browsed through the commercials online) then you probably heard this song on the Chevy Sonic commercial. Also apparently it was recently featured on Glee? I don't watch Glee so I'm not sure but that's word on the street. Well I'm not a very big fan of Fun. (gasp!) but this is a great song. The chorus has so much energy it's ridiculous. It makes you wanna just, I dunno, smash stuff on peoples heads? Break furniture? Get in fights? All of those feelings are presented well in the video...
(Also this is my 50th post WOHOO! So now you should have at least 50 great songs to listen to. If you like/have liked/don't like any of these songs you should share my blog with your friends and family)

The Middle East - Blood
Very cool songs deserve very cool videos. This is one of those. This song reminds me a lot of Fleet Foxes for some reason. It's called Blood by The Middle East. I feel that the title is misleading because if you were to tell someone to look it up they might expect to end up watching sketchy videos on CNN or Al Jazeera. This is much better and much more enlightening and is a lot more likely to leave you with a smile on your face.
P.S. Thank you Ericka
