The Cribs
This is another example of 'hooked me with their sound, kept me with their lyrics'. This band has an array of unbelievably clever and intelligent lyrics strung across a gorgeous rock sound. Some of these lyrics are sharp and spiteful, and that's part of what makes them go down so well. It isn't every day that you hear a band touch on world issues within the confines of what I have no doubt will be hit songs. They do it in a unique way, and it works so well. Go have a listen. And listen well, because those catchy tunes might just fool you for a moment into thinking that you're listening to everyday music. This absolutely is not everyday music. It's something far more extraordinary.
I just thought I'd add that recently I hear they've been eating a lot of lucky charms to fuel their writing muscles and are about to hop on the Weezer Cruise! I'm excited for them. That cruise has a good lineup this year and I'm sorry I'll be missing it.

Ages and Ages
Let's be honest, I love every band that I share with you for many different reasons. But, everyone has their favorites. I've ran across some truly irreplaceable music over the past year. Without a doubt, this is one of those. Ages and Ages music is a lot like a drug without the horrible side affects. It is pure and beautiful. It makes me feel happy and... free. It's turn it all the way up and roll the car windows down music. It's jump and dance and sing along music. It's feel better music. It's medicine for the soul. This isn't something that can be faked or constructed. I don't know how this band came to be, but I have no doubt that it's an amazing story. Have you in your adult life been blessed with a moment of that pure innocent feeling of fun and freedom reminiscent of childhood? With no weights binding you and nothing to weigh the corners of your face into that horrible grown-up frown? Ages and Ages does that for me, and it is an experience so special that I just want to thank them. So, thank you, Ages and Ages. Thank you for giving me those moments. Thank you for offering the world, and all of the individuals in it the love you exhibit in your music. They have a new record coming out this month, it's called "Divisionary" and the title track is a deep one. I'm excited to hear all they have to offer us and continue to offer my support and best wishes to this band.
