Music Tuesdays - Calgary by Bon Iver
Bon Iver is one of my favorite recent artists, and in honor of the self-titled new album that comes out today, here is the first single they've released for it.
Music Tuesdays - Beg Steal or Borrow by Ray LaMontagne
Douchey music alert: this is a very folksy, acoustic song... Aaron need not listen. Something about this song makes me feel like it should be in a cowboy movie.
Music Tuesdays - The Journey Continues by Sarah Cracknell
This find is from Scott. The official version with music video cannot be embedded, so here is an acoustic version:
Apologies to Aaron for including an acoustic song... I recommend you listen to the original version, it's quite good.

Who is more likely to enjoy Classical music?
So, it's pretty clear that Royce and I are pretty far apart in our tastes in music. Without any sound, you can tell he probably likes whatever the guy on the right is playing, while I prefer the group on the left. Now, I'm going to argue that songs played acoustically tend to emphasize the singer and the lyrics, while rock bands with electric guitars will focus on the music/harmony/melody and will even go into extended guitar/bass/drum solos just to hear more of the music some of these musicians are capable of. I'm going to further argue that Mr. Acoustic is more likely to enjoy a poem, being lyrics with no music, and Mr. Rock is more likely to enjoy Classical music...all melody, no lyrics. (Especially when it includes cannons or explosions)
You see what I did right there?!? BAM!!
