Amie Street Music Wednesday #20
Amie St. Music Wednesday I can’t believe it is middle of the week already. I guess when you are busy time flies. I did not have a lot of time this week to look around Amie Street for anything new so I am dropping a Josh Davis Band song for you. As many of you know they are a local band to central Iowa. I am pretty good friends with them and do their website. I also like to drink their free beer backstage when I catch their shows. They have a new album dropping in October and I have heard most of the tracks. It is going to a be another good album that deserves much more...

Amie St. Music Wednesday Ahhh, another mid-week tune for all you musically unaware and deprived people. Well not all of you are musically challenged. Well, not challenged but maybe inept.

The track is a good one called The Business from the album titled A Picture of the Three of Us at the Gate to the Garden of Eden. You can check them out on Amie Stree at http://amiestreet.com/artist/these-united-states/ and on the web at http://www.theseunitedstates.net/. There website is one of the few band sites...

Well, this weekend is Des Moines first 35/80 Music Festival. It is the first one I think the city has had of this size. You can check out all the details at http://www.80-35.com/.

There are two free music stages as well as a Kids Zone on Saturday with inflatables, an instrument zoo, and musical performances. It should be a...

Amie St. Music Wednesday I was a little frustrated this week because I wanted to feature Zooey Deschanel‘s band called She & Him. If you don’t know who Zooey is she played Trillian in Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Universe and numerous other movies. But now I can’t find She & Him on Amie Street so I think they removed it. Grrrrrr! Oh well. To top it off The Josh Davis Band also had to remove their new tracks since they had a mix up with their digital distributor. Grrrr. So I was happy to find Stereophonics on Amie Street for this weeks selection....

Amie St. Music Wednesday I looked for about an hour for this weeks song. I went in all kinds of directions in my search. I really did not have a theme to go with this this week so I was all over the music genre in my quest. I ended up picking Vampire Weekend. These guys remind me of sting/police and have a Beatles feel to them at times. A devastating backstroke All the way from France With shiny, shiny cufflinks A shirtsleeve to enhance But in the end they have a unique pop sound to them that is pretty nice listening. Lyrics are fun to follow. The pin-striped men of morning Are...

Amie St. Music Wednesday I don’t listen to a lot of female singers. Not sure why really. It is very few that really catch my interest sonicly. I came across Audra Brown by accident this week. That is one thing I really like about Amie Street. You can find great music without really looking for it. For this weeks ASMW I selected No Cloudy Days since it has been raining for weeks now here in the Midwest. Pretty fitting I think. Audra’s voice sounds really familiar but I can’t place it. Maybe that is what makes me want to listen to more. I picked up the entire album...
