My New Favorite Band of the Year - AND IT’S ONLY APRIL!
I have a major crush on these two. They aren’t new, but new to me. Their music hasn’t left my Ipod for the last month and I have, pretty much, listened to them everday. Their music makes me soft and happy at the same time. *If you know me, you understand that when I say, “It is like peanut butter for my ears!”…it is some serious shit!
Angus & Julia Stone
CDs (I have):
~ A Book Like This
~ Chocolate & Cigarettes
~ Heart Full of Wine
My Favorite Songs (so far):
Fuck it, I was going to tell you which songs were my favorite on A Book Like This, but I realized that almost every song is amazing. When I first started listening to this, I loved “The Beast,” “Just A Boy,” and “Silver Coin.” Other highlights include: “Bella,” “Stranger,” “Jewels and Gold, and “Another Day.” Now, I am just about hooked on all their shit.
~ “Paper Aeroplane” - The best from Chocolate & Cigarettes, I know it from somewhere, but I can’t (for the life of me) remember where. It has to be Ministry Sound - Chillout Sessions or something of the sort, but I can’t find it. Jam.
~ “Fooled Myself” - The best from Heart Full of Wine - So fuckin’ Tracy Chapman (at the beginning), but Angus is singin’ it, and a little harmonica at the end never killed anyone either. Love this song!
You must pick these up: Especially, if you have ever been hooked to:
Kings of Convenience, Once Soundtrack, or something else similar that kicks ass (softly)
*For those who don’t know, in 2007, I ate more than 14 lbs. of peanut butter. Thus, my opinion of this band is quite grand.
