For the longest time I've been dying to write about some of my favorite things. So, in order to provide myself some more blog fodder, I'll (hopefully) be writing a series on my fave's.
Today's Favorite is in music- namely a fantastic little group called Guster. I had only heard of them last fall, but they've quickly become my favorite band. Not once before have I come across CDs in which I enjoy listening to EVERY song (when it wasn't a "greatest hits"). That's exactly what happened to me on Ganging Up on the Sun and they're newest album (as of last Tuesday) Easy Wonderful. If you're into rock and alternative music, these guys will definitely catch your interest. Plus, I love that they're still going strong after nearly 20 years!
To me, the songs on Easy Wonderful are more blast-on-a-rainy-day type songs while those on their previous ones are nice to relax to. It's really cool how the drummer uses a congo-drum-set (congo drums instead of toms and a bass) and that the group incorperates all sorts of instruments (always a plus for me).
These are my reccommended Top Five:
1. Satellite
2. Do You Love Me?
3. What You Call Love
4. Bad, Bad World
5. Ramona
That's a general list, depending on the day they can go back and forth, and Long Way Down, Ruby Falls, Amsterdam and basically the whole Easy Wonderful album can be thrown in too.
Anyway, I hope you check them out, they're certainly worth it!
I love 'em. That CD is pretty good and I even had one of their songs stuck in my head the other day!
