TUNED IN: A Lack of Color

Wow guys, it's been ages since my last post!  I had a super busy/stressful/hectic week, and it stayed that way until I took a much needed day off on Sunday.  I also took a few hours off today, and went to see This is the End - which is hilarious, and if you get the chance, you NEED to go see it.  My celebrity crush, Mr. Seth Rogen has truly outdone himself.

Today's TUNED IN post features, "A Lack of Color", by Death Cab for Cutie.  One of my favourite bands since I was 15, I'm pretty sure I've loved everything they've ever done.  But Transatlanticism has stood the test of time in my mind - definitely one of those albums that no matter how many times I've heard it, it never gets old.  Ben Gibbard's heart-wrenching tales of life, love and loss - are just so beautiful.  And there's just something about A Lack of Color that gets to me.. I think I have a case of last track syndrome.

TUNED IN: 20 Flight Rock

Good morning Internet!   Hope you're having a lovely Tuesday.  TUNED IN is back this week! I know, it's been awhile, right?  

This week's track is "20 Flight Rock" by Vic Ruggiero.  Vic is in one of my all-time favourite bands, NYC ska legends - The Slackers.  I've seen him tour with The Slackers, and solo - and it's always a great time.  So incredibly talented.

Now this song is actually from 1956, and was originally performed by Eddie Cochran.  It's a rockabilly standard and has been performed by everyone from Paul McCartney (apparently he auditioned for The Beatles with it), to The Rolling Stones, and even Tiger Army!  "20 Flight Rock" is fun + fuelled by rock 'n roll.  It can be appreciated by music lovers of all ages - but mostly (and most importantly), it just makes me want to dance.
