Music found through Fate
So lately, it seems, I've been discovering music purely by accident. These two songs I want to share are both songs I've heard via being in a store. One was at AT&T while I was working there via Muzak. The other was yesterday at Maurices, I'm going to assume also through Muzak. It would make sense anyway.
I mostly think it's just really neat that a company like Muzak will take songs from basically unknown artists and play them. The best part? THESE PEOPLE GET FANS BECAUSE OF IT! Both times I whipped out my iphone and used Shazam to see who the artist was. I don't normally buy music on my iphone because I'm kinda cheap that way and would rather buy a whole album or be retarded and simply download it but in both cases I immediately purchased the songs.
The song that triggered this post I actually just heard yesterday in Maurices at the Gateway Mall while waiting for my friend to get unstuck in traffic in Portland. I also saw the newest Shrek for $1.50 while waiting and it was really cute and totes worth the money, but that's neither here nor there. Anyway this song came on and I immediately perked my ears up. And shazammed it. And purchased it:
From there I played it over and over and over and over again. Oh hey, look. I'm listening to it even now. GO SIA GO! I will definitely have to listen to more of her music now because... yeah. : ) <3
So this new music via shazam was "Burn Burn" by Nico Vega:
This song just kept coming on over and over again while I was at work. I liked it from the beginning, particularly because it stood out against all the other songs that would often play. It's different, a little harder and catchy as hell. So I finally purchased it, listened to it over and over again and then got the entire album. The great thing is that I love EVERY SINGLE SONG from their album and this one isn't my favorite. This one is:
This is a little bit different from the album version I feel like and I've never seen the video. I am really digging it because it reminds me of how Aja is live. <3
or maybe
MY BLOOOOD MACHIIIIIIIIIIIIINE!!!!! MY BLOOD MACHIIIIIIIIIIIIINE!!!
Okay seriously, I think if I had to actually seriously pick one? Beast. GOD THIS SONG IS FUCKING AMAZINGLY EPIC LIVE LIKE I CAN'T STOP TYPING IN CAPS BECAUSE THINKING OF HEARING IT LIVE MAKES ME SO FREAKING HAPPY AND EXCITED.
Nico Vega isn't everyone's cup of tea but damn it you need to taste the tea before making a decision because these guys are so amazing and live? HOLY FUCKING SHIT LIVE! Seriously you guys? When did I see them? LAST MONTH??? AND I'M STILL FREAKING OUT ABOUT HOW AWESOME IT WAS.
Okay I'm done now. Good music is good, guys. : )
