Steal this song! (not really...but maybe)

normally I am not into the whole pop music scene

BUT

  there is a song that my amazing Zumba instructor/very good friend Sheila throws into our Tuesday night workouts and I am absolutely IN LUUUUUVVVVRRRR with it.

drum roll please....

"Shake It" by Metro Station.

i'll admit that the lyrics are a bit risque, but since all of you are not the prudes that I'm assuming you aren't (otherwise you wouldn't be following this broad's blog), then I'm sure you will all enjoy it. I'll even forgive the fact that the lead singer is Miley Cyrus' older brother (yuck, yuck, YUCK)

I highly suggest you download it onto your iTunes or burn it onto a cd asap.

Maybe you'll even catch it on your shower radio (if anyone still ownes one of those). My good friend Jerry Seinfeld once wrote about shower radios saying "there's no better idea that I can think of than dancing around on a slick surface next to a glass door".

Bawhahahaha.

break me off a piece of THAT!

ok. so after many minutes of racking my brain trying to decide what fresh sound I wanted to promote to all of you, i simply 

could 

NOT 

make

a 

single 

choice. 

...therefore, i figure it's best that i just let you all in on a scrumptious little secret oasis of music i enjoy on a daily basis:

 sirius xm

this is a delightful indie rock channel on my online radio subscription, full to the brim of raw talent. i've discovered seriously rad bands such as...

mannequin men, mika miko, screaming females

 

....among a number of other underground, post-garage phase, minor label signed bands.

if ANY of you are die-hard indie fans like me, this station is well worth the $15/month you'll have to fork over. 

so.....dig into your In n Out burger fund, and jump on the XM bandwagon!

xoxoxo

little lovers so polite

 

 (psssst!  don't tell my boyfriend)

 ...but these days, i am confident to say that i am completely smitten by a certain indie band from L.A.

ummm....have you heard of Silversun Pickups??

if not...DO check them out. they're a delicious, modern, fantastical indie-rock band blending sounds reminiscent of Sonic Youth, Smashing Pumpkins, and a dash of Velvet Underground. 

basically....pure, undeniable magic.

Needless to say, lead singers Brian Aubert and Nikki Monninger have completely stolen my heart. Their voices are beautifully harmonic and in sync with each other, and give their musical image that "certain something". 

I've had the song "Rusted Wheel" playing on repeat in my car for 2 days straight now, and have zero intention so far of changing it.

so hop onto iTunes...head to your nearest record store...or check out their Myspace page. let me know what you all think!
