Freelance Whales – Generator ^ First Floor

A little Friday music for your listening pleasure. A bit hipster but it features a banjo which makes it banjo hipster. Banjo hipster is good. Similar sound to Sufan Stevens which is as hipster as it gets.

This is a great way to start an album. Takes a minute or so to really get going; my only complaint is that I wish it was twice as long.

Christmas Music – Day 4

Needing something a little more contemporary to get through the week? Here’s 5 tracks that should fit the bill. The first three are on a pretty steady rotation around our house.

And yes, there’s an Owl City track that sounds pretty much like Owl City but I bet if you give it 3 listens you’ll add it to the rotation as well.

1. Colbie Caillat – Mistletoe

Christmas Music – Day 3

Looking for those special tracks to spend a nice evening with your significant other in front of the tree? Welcome to the Jazz/classic portion of our album; including one of my most all-time favorite Christmas tracks by trumpet player Troy Andrews. All instrumental and probably best played last in the evening if you know what’s good for you.

1. Troy Andrews – O Holy Night
