Music

I realized again this week that I have different music tastes than a lot of people around me. Regan and I joke a lot about Willie Nelson, who Regan loves and I detest. Like please let me pull out ears so I don't have to listen it.)

Justin Beber, not thanks. Annoying.
Pink, drives me CRAZY. Why does she sing about being a jerk all the time.
Rihanana (did I even spell that right?) drives me even MORE crazy. She sings a song about how it's okay to be hit by your man? Really? THAT's what kids listen to?


Really I don't even know who is popular right now. I just know what I like. So I thought I'd share some of it... that is if I can find you tube videos for some of it :)
Emilie-Claire Barlow - Love her! And she's Canadian!


Jason Mraz


Lenka


Matt Costa


Meaghan Smith


Mindy Gledhill


Micheal Buble (oh how I would LOVE love to go to one of his concerts!)


Ray LaMontagne


And some songs I couldn't find on Youtube but I love.... (I'm pretty sure you can find them on iTunes!)
Matthew Barber - The Little Things
Kris Allen - to make you feel my love & Falling Slowly
Joey Gian - What if I loved you
Human & Rosi Golan - Follow the Arrow
Frances England - You & Me
Holly Cole Trio
Michael Johns - Life is Okay
Zee Avi - Honey Bee
Sophie Milman - Take Love Easy
Slow Club - When I Go

I know I don't like what a lot of other people listen to and I am okay with that. :)
Ever heard of these guys? (OBVIOUSLY you've all heard of Micheal Buble, but besides him :)

Man, you are eclectic. I only recognized two artists in that list. I have to add Jann Arden and Sarah Maclaughlin to the list from Canada. So sorry that I missed Michael Buble when he was in Halifax.
I am listening to a lot of dance music right now for the beats. Good for running.

funny thing is I've never heard of Michael Buble :) (Im guessing he is popular) I also don't know any songs by the people you dislike (except Wille, I grew up on country but don't like it now).....I must really like unpopular music!

Love it .. I listen to so many different kinds of music , butI actually new about 5 on your list and I listen to them when Im cooking,or doing crafts ... I think its good feel good chilling music.. not I must say I listen to pink also but I find her anger give me the extra boost I need when I have to get some serious cleaning done in my house.. you should try it !

supprised myself with how many songs I actually recognized - I don't know how (with noisy kids and a book-on-cd habit) my life sometimes feels like a musical blackhole

Love the videos!! And half of those I know! I also love Josh Groban and Sarah McLachlan. I like music I can relax to these days. Its funny how taste can change from high school to now. I use to be all about the beat and dancing and didn't listen to the words. Now I like to relax with my music. Can't wait to check out some of the others you have on your list that I haven't heard of. Thanks :)

i hate to break it to ya, but we are getting old so we don't like the same music as the youngens and thank goodness for that! i do know a few of those artists, but anything remotely jazz i can only handle so much of.

LindsayB said...

also, i think you would reeeeeally like regina spektor.

You do have different taste and it's very refreshing. Where do you find these people? I have heard of a few of them but not all.

Christina said...

I love Jason Mraz. That's one of my favorite stations to listen to on Pandora. I do like to listen to Pink when I'm running - maybe I need the anger to get me up the hill!

I recently checked out some music from the library for the kids to listen to in the car that I have been loving - an Elizabeth Mitchell cd (You are my Flower) and Sing Along with Putumayo.

Julie said...

If you haven't already heard of her, I think you'd love Nikki Yanofsky, judging by some of the other names on your list :)

I, too, detest Willie Nelson... my dad's a big fan.

Good Taste!

Regan likes Willy Nelson?! HAHAHAHAHA! That makes me laugh.

You listen to awesome music - found some new ones in your list - thank you!

Loved it all Rhonda, except Micheal Buble, I'm just not a fan . . .

Thanks for the list! I'm in desperate need of some new music. I only knew of Buble and Mraz. I like the song 'Lucky' that Mraz sings. I really liked listening to Mindy Gledhill. I had heard 'All About Your Heart' before so thanks for the artist's name. Have a great night!
