SUBWAY SHUFFLE 9/14/10

Track #1: Pearl Jam: "Unthought Known"
Track #2: Kings of Leon: "Use Somebody"
Track #3: Empire of the Sun: "Walking on a Dream"
Track #4: Arcade Fire: "Half Light I"
Track #5: The Black Keys: "Never Gonna Give You Up"

After a long workday I hit a great group of songs on the way home.......

"Unthought Known" - My favorite song off Pearl Jam's latest album "Backspacer", judging by the live shows I caught this one has quickly become a fan favorite.

"Dream the dreams of other men, you'll be no one's rival".......


"Use Somebody" - Everybody knows this song (at least I think), heard it pretty much everywhere over the last year. Still love it though, one of those songs I never change once it comes on.


"Walking on a Dream" - Dig this band, Empire of the Sun. This song always reminds me of my last job where we'd play these guys almost daily. Cool music, bet they'd put on a fun show.


"Half Light I" - Chill song from Arcade Fire, off their most current album "The Suburbs". Not my favorite tune on the album but it's such a good record that there's not much I can't enjoy. Like the part at 2:11 where it really kicks in.


"Never Gonna Give You Up" - I wrote a bit about this song a little while back HERE. Definitely one of my favorite tunes off the most recent Black Keys album, "Brothers".

Subway Shuffle: 8/12/10

SUBWAY SHUFFLE 8/12/10

Track #1: Arcade Fire: "Suburbs"
Track #2: Avett Brothers: "Laundry Room"
Track #3: Bloc Party: "So Here We Are"
Track #4: Lemonheads: "Hannah & Gabi"
Track #5: Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds: "Christmas Song"

Thought it would be cool to write a few notes on the shuffle songs above.......

"The Suburbs" - The first track off the new Arcade Fire album, sets the tone for some great songs to follow. Love this part of the song:

So can you understand?
Why I want a daughter while I'm still young
I wanna hold her hand
And show her some beauty
Before this damage is done


"Laundry Room" - This track is off the most recent Avett Brothers album "I And Love And You". Love the way the tempo shifts in this one, slowly builds to a pretty rockin' tune at about the 3:42 mark.


"So Here We Are" - This track is off the Bloc Party album, "Silent Alarm". This is one of my favorite albums from the last ten years, really dig the whole thing. Another song that starts off fairly slow but picks up around the 2:50 mark. Love the drumming in this song (and really the entire album). Great workout album too if you're looking to change up some music at the gym.


"Hannah & Gabi" - From the Lemonheads album "It's A Shame About Ray".... classic album, always reminds me of high school. I'm a big fan of these guys and think this was the best album they've put out. H&G isn't my favorite song on the album but it's definitely a solid, chill tune.


"Christmas Song" - One of my favorite Dave Matthews songs since the first time I heard it. The Dave & Tim recordings are just great (and I loved the tours they did together). Pretty much a perfect version of this song, totally stripped down. If you don't have the "Live at Luther College" album, I'd highly recommend it.

Arcade Fire @ MSG 8/4/10

More to follow but here's some videos and pictures I took at the show last night.......

SOTD: "Modern Man" - Arcade Fire

Here's a new tune from Arcade Fire, loving the sound of this, reminds me of Talking Heads (anyone else with me?). I have an mp3 that my buddy JayO sent me this morning if anyone wants it. Just shoot me an email at thetremagazine@gmail.com and I can send it your way. Enjoy!!!

Subway Shuffle: 12/1/09

For those of you that follow me on Twitter, you're probably familiar with my "Subway Shuffle". For those of you that don't, here's the deal..... Basically on my commute home from work, I put my ipod on shuffle and see what comes up. I take 5 songs and post them in a row on twitter with links via blip.fm. Hopefully you find something new or maybe something old that you haven't heard in awhile. Hopefully you find something that hits the spot for that night. I only post these occasionally but I'm going to try to do it more often if possible.

Some people don't like to use twitter so I figured I'd start posting the shuffles here also. I'll post the songs and a link to my Blip.fm page where you can listen for yourself. Enjoy.
