Help Me Be Hip

I have always LOVED music. And I have always felt like I was “in the know” on the new, cutting-edge bands. Until recently. Twice in the last two weeks friends have mentioned popular bands that I had never even heard of.

So I have come to realize, I am in serious need of some new music in my i tunes library.

What songs/artists are you listening to right now that I need to go check-out? (Oh, and please tell us all a little bit about song/artist so we can see if they peak our interest.)

So you can see how random my musical preferences are, here are two playlists I made over the holidays. Maybe (I doubt it) you’ll discover something new?

“Completely Random Mix“

I and Love and You – The Avett Brothers

(I listen to this one about 10 times before I move on to the rest of the mix. This song is ridiculously beautiful.)

Don’t Wanna Cry – Pete Yorn

You Really Got a Hold on Me – She and Him

When I Dream of Michaelangelo – Counting Crows

Landed – Ben Folds

Brooklyn – Wakey! Wakey!

Gotta Have You – The Weepies

Lost? – Coldplay

Blessed – Brett Dennen

Wagon Wheel – Old Crow Medicine Show

City of Black and White – Mat Kearney

“The Christian Mix”

There Will Be a Light – Ben Harper and the Blind Boys of Alabama

Whenever God Shines His Light – Van Morrison

It is Well – Todd Fields

Hold My Heart – Tenth Avenue North

Reign in Us – Starfield

The Revelation Song – Kari Jobe

Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing – Chris Rice

Arms Open Wide – Hillsong

Kingdom Coming – Shaun Groves

How Great is Our God – Chris Tomlin

So come on…help a girl out. SAVE ME from becoming one of those un-hip folks who has no idea who what new music is out there.
