Grouplove - “Colours”
Heard this on the radio the other day. It’s been stuck in my head since. Enjoy!
Spot on. I’ll be the first to admit while hubs is on deployment, I give maybe -15 shits about how I look.

Kate Nash - “Nicest Thing”
“I wish that without me your heart would break
I wish that without me you’d be spending the rest of your nights awake
I wish that without me you couldn’t eat
I wish I was the last thing on your mind before you went to sleep “

Slowreader - “Politics, Music & Drugs”
I’ve never listened to Slowreader before. I know I’ve come across them before in my neverending search for music, I just have no Earthly idea why I didn’t stop and give it a listen. I, however, am quite glad this mellow tune popped up on my Pandora.
Really, give it a go if you enjoy something mellow.

Oren Lavie - “Her Morning Elegance”
I saw the adorable music video for this so long ago and fell in love. The idiot that I am, forgot the save the name of the artist and the title of the song. However, thanks to Pandora, I’ve found it again and I cannot stop playing it.

Bon Iver - “Holocene”
Okay. I’m in a mood. And that always means an abundance of mellow, Bon Iver.
But, how can you hate it? Answer me seriously. Because I sure as fuck can’t.

|
Andrew Bell (ft. Katie Herzig) - “Static Waves”
First, Andrew Bell is scrumptious.
Second, this song kind of makes me sniffle a little when they repeat, “I would have let you leave.”
Regardless, such an enjoyable song. Oh, yes.

The Dodos - “Horny Hippies”
“Well they talk of your past, yeah they said it wouldn’t last
But they’re running pretty fast back on their word
It was gone for a while but it’s coming back in style
Better run back where you’re from and join the mass”
I’ve been listening to The Dodos a lot lately, hmm.

Nada Surf - “When I Was Young”
Nada Surf recently unveiled the track “When I was Young” as a first glimpse of the forthcoming album, which has already been heralded by NPR as “tremendous - full of big, booming rock that practically glows with generosity.” Fader lauded the track itself as “delightfully earnest,” while Stereogum positively described “When I Was Young” as starting out with a “delicate acoustic flutter” that “gradually builds into a more muscular crash-rock song.”
