Five For Friday: You've Got Me Feeling Emotions

This weeks five song set is dedicated to anyone and everyone who has feelings. That should include almost everyone... almost. I'm sure there's someone out there that is emotionless, but then again, they probably wouldn't enjoy music anyway so what does it matter?

And before you even ask, yes. I intentionally left Pharrell off this list.

Have a great weekend!

Rediscover: The String Cheese Incident

About 10 years ago, I used to listen to jam bands all the time, but then they slowly fell out of my playlist almost completely. Well, The String Cheese Incident recently released a new album so I have a feeling they're going to find their way back into rotation (though probably not as heavily as before). Their new album, "Song In My Head" is one of their better studio albums. I think they captured their live sound pretty well this time minus the excessive jamming. That was the problem I had with their other studio albums. They didn't translate very well to me and ended up being kind of boring, but this one is different and definitely worth checking out.

Discover: Hurray For The Riff Raff

If you like folk music, you'll probably like Hurray For The Riff Raff. This kind of music makes me want to lie in a hammock and drink sweet tea while watching the sun set behind the pines... I can't remember where I first heard them, (NPR? Band of The Day app?), but I'm glad I came across them.

Five For Friday: Your Mom

This is a friendly reminder that Mother's Day is this Sunday. Don't forget to call or go visit your mom. After all, you wouldn't be here without her. No "Your Momma" jokes here; just songs about moms.

Have a good weekend and hug your mom!

Rediscover: Alabama Shakes

What can I say? Brittany Howard is freaking amazing! If their new album is anything like this new song, we're in store for some amazing music.

Discover: Little Hurricane

Any time I come across a two-piece band with a girl drummer, my first thought is, "Please don't be a White Stripes knockoff..." Nothing against The White Stripes at all. I love them. But fortunately Little Hurricane definitely isn't a knockoff and had I not seen them before I heard them, I wouldn't have had that thought to begin with. Good and gritty blues/folk/rock tunes coming from this duo. I'm looking forward to discovering more from this band.
