Music + Heat = Summer Soundtrack Time

With a title like that, I have now that I’ve drained my mind showing off the extent of my math prowess (sorry Mr. Marshall)…so lets take a brief brain-nap.

Alright, brain nap over…digressing…
So summer is upon us and one thing i have learned over the past few years is how much most of us relate past times, especially summers back to the music that we were listening to at the time…we all have our summer soundtracks, am I right? Well, if this is not how it works for you, just humor me for a moment because I am about to dish some serious musical suggestion action to help you form your SS ’09….
Here we go. Artist first, the the album…

- PARACHUTE, “LOSING SLEEP”: This is a solid pop/rock band from VA that have been making a lot of noise on iTunes lately, and oh boy, do they have hooks! And they are not shy about scoreboarding you with them. Bottomline, really enjoyable, solid pop/rock.

- AIR REVIEW -…..still waiting on an album (word on the street is that it will be dropping June 5th) but I just saw them live a few weeks back and they killed it!  Hints of both indie rock and Muse are sprinkled within this band’s unique sound.

- THIRD EYE BLIND – BLUE:  Ok, ok  so this is not a new one but I have been obsessed with this album lately.  Musically, Stephen Jenkins and Kevin Cadogen and the rest of the 3EB crafted this album so well.  If you were around in 1999 but still missed out on this album, be sure to check it out, its a jam.

- BLAKE & KATE – LETTER AND WORDS EP:  If you like any acoustic music, check these guys out. Vocally amazing, just trust me on this.

Enjoy!

More soon,

Chris
