songs we sing

So I thought about writing a post about all the new albums that are out, but then I thought no! I should post about the concerts I've been fortunate enough to see lately...and then I thought...BOTH! As mentioned above there are quite a few new CDs that need to be listened to, more on that later. Courtney and I were able to see Cheap Trick performing Beatles song at the beginning of the summer, followed by a fantastic performance later on that summer by Fiest...then rounding out the summer we saw Steely Dan (don't ask) and are getting ready to go see the great diva herself Celine Dion.

In December we are going to see Oasis....yes that's right Oasis..I love them. Their new album is totally worth buying. Ok I'll admit it's not their best ever, but it's still is really good. It's not like they lowered the bar, they just didn't raise it. It took a little while to grow on me, but it definitely has. And Ryan Adams (NOT Bryan Adams) is there opener...how crazy is that?!?

Speaking of new albums Jenny Lewis's new album Acid Tongue..is so good. She gets help from M.Ward and her boy toy Johnathan Rice, and even her sister is featured as a backup singer. It really worth looking into and Kaylee and I were able to go see a show of hers in SD. It started off interesting with a few smaller bands, and I was starting to get worried about what I had dragged Kaylee to, but as soon as Jenny hit the stage magic happened. I couldn't believe how pure her voice is, even live.

The Avett Brothers, Kings of Leon and Snow Patrol all recently released albums as well...its was like a blizzard of great music there for a while (and now the movie season begins..yeah). The Avett Brothers are always a must, Kings of Leon is excellent, again not as amazing as their previous, but oh so good nonetheless. Lastly, Snow Patrol's new album, A Hundred Million Suns, has officially been in my CD player for almost a month and I have yet to get tired of it. They definitely raised their bar!!!
