Music Tuesdays - One Day (Reckoning Song) (Remix) by Asaf Avidan
This song is weird but haunting, and I kind of like it. I have no idea what's happening in the music video but I kind of like that too. The androgynous singing (not unlike Tune-Yards), unusual vibe and persistent beat of this song definitely got into my head.

Music - Try by Pink
I've been listening to this song on the radio quite a bit and enjoying it. Then I went to YouTube to hear the song at my office and actually watched the video. I was genuinely impressed by Pink's dancing. She looks like a classically trained dancer and it was totally unexpected. Even more impressive than that guy's abs.
Music Tuesdays - I'm On Fire by Shakey Graves
I just heard some songs by Shakey Graves recently, and I enjoy the minimalist, haunting, folk style. He is another artist out of Austin, just like Gary Clark Jr. is, although their styles are quite different.
I predict Aaron will hate this song.

Music Tuesdays - Jack White at the Grammys
Jack White Grammy Awards 2013 (2) by dm_511f5e89b0eac
Another live performance on the FIWK music blog. This one is from the weekend's Grammys - I thought Jack White absolutely rocked it. We are generally fans of Jack White here at the blog, but this is probably my favorite version of him... as the immortal MP put it, this is the old school, ass-kicking, hillbilly rock vibe at its best.

Music Tuesdays - Closer by Tegan and Sara (live)
I'm going with a live performance I saw recently on Jimmy Kimmel because I thought Tegan and Sara killed it. I find this interesting because Tegan and Sara have been popular indie artists for a long time and have enjoyed a lot of success, including a collaboration with Scott's boy Tiesto. With the new record they have a stronger pop sound, similar to some of their previous collaborations, and are getting play on a lot of major radio stations (at least in LA). I also enjoy the 80s dance vibe in the song.
