Beach House- 10 Mile Stereo
Kelsey says:
Can I stay away from Victoria and Alex, one of the most ingenious music combos ever? No sir. There isn't really a good video of this song out there, but I had to give you the live experience. If I were to be able to pick myself, I would probably be about 76% Victoria Legrand. I met her once..she is basically the coolest person on the face of the planet. But back to business: Beach House produces the soothing yet upbeat tones that I cannot resist, no matter how hard I may try. Sorry that your next hour will probably be devoted to listening to every song they've ever written. Only I'm not actually sorry at all. (ps. I want hair like Vic.)

Arcade Fire- Suburban War
Kelsey says:
How could I make a playlist of my top six songs without including something by this all-time favorite? Usually I rotate through favorite bands, but AF has stuck for so long that I just have to admit, they're my fave. You may need to watch another video of this song, but I chose to show you this because it was one of the most phenomenal experiences of my life. Arcade Fire live....I don't know if my life will ever get any better than that. And, ain't it awesome that Win forgets the words? He's so cool that he can pull it off. This song wasn't originally my favorite on the album, but I love it more every time I hear it. That gorgeous meter change....ah. Gives me chills every time.

Week 7, Page in the Story
We're back from our break...Kelsey P bout ta drop somethin hot...
Name: Kelsey Page
Occupation: Director of Activities, Twissionary, Pagemaster
Least Favorite Creature to have on her face: Fly
# of Adventures Experienced: 1
Music Taste: catchy or chill, indie or h-core, mainstream or obscure. All the good stuff. I generally stick to a little-to-no-country-or-Owl-City belief.
Fav Bands: Arcade Fire, The Morning Benders, Jenny & Johnny, FPF, Local Natives, Mumford & Sons, OK Go, and anything else fun or unique.
Find her: FB, Twitta, Blawg, Flickaa
Faded Paper Figures- Metropolis
Basically, I went through an FPF craze not too long ago, and I still just adore them. Not only are they a catchy electronic-classic hybrid (my cousin once classified them as Indietronic), but they have intriguing lyrics and meaning behind the songs. Just all around good. I just love all of their songs, so it was hard to pick, but this one won my affection the most.

Blue Sky Black Death- Sleeping Children are Still Flying

Uses interesting recording techniques to get the idea and feel of sleeping children across. I dig it.

That cutesie pop, gets me every time. I can drop everything I jiggle a little to this song. That's what we all need every one in a while.

Within Temptation- Iron
Spike says:
all of the music these guys play is just beyond words, it's like Trans-Siberian Orchestra meets Evanescence, which is weird considering i'm not the biggest Evanescence fan but i've always been a huge fan of a strong female voice and nothing like Sharon den Adel's voice has made me get good kind of shivers in a very very long time.

The National- Sorrow
Spike says:
This song is what I turn on when I'm feeling down and it gives me a sense of catharsis that I feel everyone needs to feel every once in a while.

Houston Calls- Sunrise Goodbyes
Spike says:
This is a band I discovered at a MAE concert. They were opening and after hearing them I instantly felt like I need to own every song they had out.

Blink-182- A New Hope
Spike says:
I can't have a list without my favorite band of all time! The transformation they go through from their first album to the latest shows just how versatile these guys are. Everything in between is just everything you could want in music. This particular song combines two of my favorite things. Star Wars and Blink. Enjoy!

Metric- Gimmie Sympathy
Spike says:
The reason the lead singer's voice may be familiar to you is that she sings the "black sheep" song in the movie "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" but Gimmie Smpathy is my favorite song of theirs. the whole album is amazing which is topped off by this song

Not very long ago...
In a Southridge not far away...
SPIKE!!!
Name: Michael James Schwartz
Occupation: Tinkerer of toys and radios
Nicknames: Mike, Mikey, MJ, Mymo, Spike, Spikey, Iron Spike, The human **********, Spikelosc***, etc.
Fav Animal: Nyan Cat
Hometown: S E A double T L E
Music Taste: usually punk rock, some stuff that's on the darker side, classic rock, strong female vocalists, basically everything from Mozart to Metallica
Fav Bands: Blink-182, Rise Against, Paramore, Fleetwood Mac, Elton John, Billy Joel
What's that growing out of your face? Is that an iron spike?
Rise Against- Savior
Let's face it. This song is just awesome. Tim McIlrath (lead singer) is probably one of my favorite song writers. "Savior" is just one of those songs that has all of the attributes of an awesome song: meaningful lyrics, great background music, and lead vocalist who can really belt it out, a bridge that ties the whole song together and a chorus that makes you just want to stand up and yell the lyrics from a rooftop! Enjoy my friends!

Delafé y Las Flores Azules- Espiritu Santo
Amy says:
it's not only this song, but this take away show that makes me want to quit real life, and join a street band. if only i was blessed with any sort of musical talent. you can't listen to this song and not be happy. and if you can, well, i sure am sorry you lost your soul or whatever.

Black Carl- Hussy
*sorry, no video :/
Amy says:
local band from phoenix, so it obviously holds a place near and dear to my arizona heart. i love the girl's voice, and it says "hussy", which just makes me laugh. there's such a sassy feel to this song that i enjoy.

Regina Spektor- The Calculation
Amy says:
who doesn't love a good regina spektor song? i particularly enjoy this one because she doesn't do a whole lot of weird stuff with her voice in it like she does in a lot of her other songs. i'm also not a huge payer of attention to lyrics, but i liked these ones.

The xx- Crystalised
Amy says:
this is such a chill song, but still very versatile. you could fall asleep to it, or you could make out to it. or, you could fall asleep while making out, i guess. although, just between you and me, probably don't make out with any of the people in the band, because they aren't super visually pleasing.

Movits!- Fel Del Av Garden
Amy says:
swingin' feel, hint of rap, and it's in swedish? how could i say no! who cares if i can't understand what they're saying and my compulsive need to sing along in the car leads me to make up jibberish? gimme some sax and a hot harmonica track, and i am good to go swing dancing down the streets of sweden.
