Name of Artist: Teddybears
Sound: Well, any sound you’re in the mood for, I guess? Every track of music by Teddybears is different, all electronic, but some are influenced by reggae, some punk, some hip-hop, so chances are, you’ll find a song you like. Songs like “Yours to Keep” are much sweeter, a […]
Honus Honus of Man Man….catchy, ain’t it?

Name of Band: Man Man
Sound: A lot of folks compare these guys to Zappa, and for good reason. They are quite outside the normal conventions of music, although they’re damn catchy, and they do pretty much anything they want. Their music all has a signature sound, if […]

Name of Artist: Charlotte Sometimes
Sound: Think of a Regina Spektor-ish sound without so much of that very unique Regina sound…face it, nobody can be Regina. But that’s okay, Charlotte has her own sound as well. She reminds me of Jonatha Brooke, Tracy Bonham, some of those lesser-known female vocalists that have come […]

Name of Band: Brian Setzer Orchestra
Sound: Swinging awesomeness, with a little rockabilly thrown in. It’s the way fun sounds. I’m not sure how else I could say it. See them in person and you get the benefit of big sounds with loud clothing, a winning combination.
Band Members:
Brian Setzer
His Orchestra….duh!

Words cannot describe how addicted I am to this band. 9 times out of 10 if you’re in my car, this is the CD that I’ve put in. (Okay, maybe like 5 out of 10, since I also have Vampire Weekend, Black Keys, The Stray Cats, and Flight of the Conchords in the […]

Name of Band: Barenaked Ladies (or BNL as they are affectionately called since people don’t have time to sit and talk at length anymore)
Sound: It’s like what your best guy friends would sound like if they got together just for laughs to play at some random party that you planned at the last […]
“When I see you, baby I wanna/Take off your clothes.” How can you argue with logic like that? Without further ado for real this time, I bring you stats…
Name of Band: Morningwood
Sound: That kinda “Don’t F*** With Me” vibe comes through loud and clear by everything that Chantal sings, and when you see her on […]
Stattttaratttatatadingdong!
Name of Band: Stars
Sound: Indie at its very best and brightest, they pull off a sound that is upbeat yet melancholy, the way only indie can do. Very poppy, and pretty much any indie band that has a female singer has the opportunity to be insanely badass in my mind. Look at a band like […]

Ooh, talk about yummy! Finally, it’s time for me to talk about my favorite jazzy crooner, Jamie Cullum. Sure, Buble might get all the attention, but Jamie Cullum is really where it’s at, if you ask me. He came after Harry Connick Jr. but added a modern and energetic twist to those […]
