Amie Street Music Wednesday #15
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...

Amie St. Music Wednesday I figured since our cat (King) Tut died last week I should find a decent Cat song. It is funny how we find music some times. I searched Amie Street for “Cat” and came across a band called Caution Cat. After a good listen to a few of their songs I bought the entire album. At first listen the Beatles came to mind but give them a listen and tell me what you think. The track for this, my twelfth installment of Amie Street Music Wednesday, is Falling Out of My Tree. Kind of fitting with Tut falling out of the proverbial tree I guess. Very nice tune...

Amie St. Music Wednesday For this weeks Amie Street Music Wednesday I have selected The Silos. They are an Alt-Country band that has been around since the mid 80′s. The track for today is Drunken Moon off their 2002 album Laser Beam Next Door album. It is a old tune but still a good one. They just release a new album so check out their website at http://www.thesilos.net/ for more information. All of their albums on Amie Street are a steal right now. You can check them out on Amie Street at http://amiestreet.com/thesilos. It looks like Drew Glackin (guitars, bass and backing vocals)...
