I am a Tim Tebow believer. I am a Denver Bronco believer. When I say believer, I also mean fan. So when I argue about who is the better superhero-Batman or Superman(Batman!!)- I would also make the same argument with Tim Tebow and any other quarterback in the National Football League. I'm also that person who kills their throat by screaming at the TV, telling the receiver to 'run! go! go! go!' when they just happen to catch a pass in overtime against a certain team from Pittsburgh. That pass by the way, cemented Tebow's superstar status and Thomas' skills at catching the football. Now that I have gotten that out of the way...
...Back to business.
There's something that I have discovered about myself. I have a tendency of liking artists that I can see myself driving to. It probably has something to do with seeing "Elizabethtown" about a million times. If I could be like Kirsten Dunst's character in that movie, I will be happy. I have also decided that I am going to what Drew did in that movie. Just go for a road trip and take the detours just because(well, he had a road map directing him, but still). Yet again, there is music that I just listen to because it makes me happy and I like it. Ice cream also makes me happy and I like it.
Here are the songs, and the artists, that I can see myself "road-tripping" to. These are also the songs/artists that I just love and they make me happy.
NEEDTOBREATHE
This is a band that I have just recently gotten into. I like them. A lot. The fact that one of the songs actually is called "Drive All Night" is completely conincidental.
"Drive All Night"
"The Outsiders"
"Something Beautiful"
Whiskeytown
Ryan Adams before Ryan Adams was just Ryan Adams. Basically this is the band that he was in before he did his solo career. I bought "Jacksonville Skyline" just on a whim the other night at three in the morning, it's the only one that I bought that night that I don't regret. So good. The last song is a Gram Parsons cover.
"Jacksonville Skyline"
"16 Days"
"A Song for You"
Ryan Adams
More! He is literally one of the best most unique artists out there today. He doesn't go with the flow of the electronic stuff that is so today. I love him to pieces and listen to him all the time. "Come Pick Me Up" is actually on the "Elizabethtown" sountrack.
"To Be Young(Is to be Sad, Is to be High)"
"Come Pick Me Up"
"Two"
The Decemberists
I'm not a big fan of these guys, but I really love this one song.
"Down By The Water"
Fleetwood Mac
Hey, just because it's Fleetwood Mac. Everything they do is perfect and I love them.
John Mayer
OK, so I totally get why some people don't really like him, but I like him. Yes, his public persona isn't exactly nice, but I love his music. Plus, I just love the line from" Half of My Heart" that says "i was born in the arms of imaginary friends." Don't ask me why, I just love that line.
"Edge of Desire"
"Half Of My Heart"
MGMT
I love the "Oracular Spectacular" album so much. Mom says it's 'weird music.' Which it is, but still. "Kids" is just fun to groove along with. Do the car seat dance to that one while singing along. It's pretty fun. Warning-they have the most insane music videos. When I first watched "Time to Pretend" I literally sat back and asked myself what I had just watched. It's crazy.
"Time to Pretend"
"Electric Feel"
"Kids"
That's it for now. Did you notice the country influence throughout the first few artists?
