Song of the Week: 18

I cannot believe I almost forgot to post the song of the week today!  Especially since I have had it on repeat on my iPod ALL WEEK.  Seriously, I can't get enough of this song.  I am actually quite angry that it is such a short song.  It should be at least 7 minutes long.  I will have to alert the band.
Anyway, for this week's selection I must give credit to Eric Halvorsen of the band A Rocket to the Moon.   One of the things I love most about all of the social media I keep up with is the fact that I can follow most of my favorite bands' members on various sites like Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, etc.  It's a great way to keep up with tour schedules, contests, free downloads and all sorts of other fun stuff.  Most of the time, they post a lot of new music; stuff they like, new releases, old stuff they want their fans to know about and a whole lot of really cool, obscure indie/rock stuff that you would never hear on the radio.  Eric posted this weeks song a few days ago and I downloaded it immediately.  It is fabulous, as is the entire album.  And can I just say that I think I have a new love for banjos?  They are pretty much one of the coolest instruments in the world.  So please listen to "Generator (First Floor)" by Freelance Whales.  And if you are interested in expanding your horizons beyond what the masses are forced to listen to, then I encourage you to create a Tumblr, join Twitter, and start following your favorite bands! Because music is so much more than Lady Gaga, Beyonce, and Justin Bieber.

Peace, Love, and Waffles.
