Song of the Day

Beat Connection – The Palace Garden, 4am

Beat Connection has always been a group that has been so-so to me. They’re great. Their music is awesome. They get buzz in Seattle press all the time, but I was waiting for some kind of “connection” (seriously, no pun intended) to happen. It wasn’t until I heard this song and had in on repeat for a whole evening that I finally reached that “aha!” moment. Okay. Beat Connection. I get you.

Congratulations to these guys who played Sasquatch for the first time this year!

Checking In: Maddie Cary

This year, I have had the opportunity to introduce you all to many of my friends. They are all such talented, caring, and generous people and I never forget how near and dear they are to my heart and life. Since they never stop impressing me with all that they do, I am going to keep tallies on them even after I graduate to let you all know how they are doing as well.

My friend Maddie Cary wrote a post for Yow Yow! pretty early on and if you can remember her, she’s the one with the powerful voice. Last year, she created her girl group – Maddie and the Cary Oh-Keys and now they’re back and bigger than ever.

Here is their cover of Kimbra’s “Settle Down.” Proud of you, girl!

Campfire OK @ Seattle University

To promote this year’s Quadstock, we invited one of our acts, Campfire OK, to do a series of spontaneous performances on our campus in a classroom, in one of our busiest buildings, our library, and our cafe. It is always such a joy to work with this band. Not only are they extremely talented, but they like to have as much fun as we do.

Thanks for everything Campfire OK. We love you so much!

Passion Pit – Take A Walk

It has been too long since the group has had a new album out and I cannot wait for “Gossamer” to be released July 24, 2012.

Here is the first single “Take A Walk” from the upcoming album and it’s great – as expected. Can’t wait to see them at this year’s Bumbershoot!

The Rocket Summer – So In This Hour… [live]

So ever since I heard that one of my favorite bands was going to be touring with my friends’ band and another new favorite band, I’ve been extremely giddy. This is one of my favorite songs, but it wasn’t a favorite of mine until I heard this version. Now, if you’re familiar with Bryce Avary, then you know that most of his songs are written about his wife. They are the sweetest couple I’ve ever heard of even though I’ve never met them in person. The second verse in this song was improvised and not featured in the original song, but it makes me swoon every time.

Bryce Avary, can you perform at my future wedding please?

The Wanted – Glad You Came – Alex Gaudino Radio Edit

It’s an unhealthy obsession, but it is what it is. Don’t judge me for it.
