A Healthy Serving of Cool

One of the compliments I hear a lot is, “I love the music on your website!”

I mean, maaaaaaaaaybe the focus should be more on the actual photos. I try to rock them out as best I can…believe me! However, given the fact that I’m not headed to Hollywood to be a soundtrack consultant, I will take this opportunity to make my own soundtrack to life and MILK IT!

Here is what I am currently listening to on my “Holla!” mix (a mix I refresh every 2 months or so)…

Paolo Nutini (my new fave, he’s like the new Jamie Cullum + Mat Kearney)
Tristan Prettyman (who is actually pretty)
Emerson Hart (cutie former lead singer of Tonic)
Bloc Party (who remind me of an all time fave, Young Love)
Will Hoge (all-American rocker from the Nashville scene)
Shiny Toy Guns (electronic, like a new sorta kinda version of Postal Service-ish-ness)
Matt Costa (so easy to listen to but not easy listening…more indie rock than that)
The Fratellis (similar to a new brand of The Strokes)
Kate Nash (if I was a musician…hey, a girl can dream)
Matt White (I’ve loved him for a while, and not just cuz he’s cute…he’s got soul)
Vanessa Carlton (a brilliant pianist and a helluva lyricist…she’s just now come into her own)
Bat for Lashes (a little weird, but we all need a dash of strangeness in our lives)

Here’s the deal: I’m not claiming that I “discovered” these peeps. In fact, I may not even beat out the most music-savvy friend in your clique. BUT—I have been complimented so much and have actually been asked to help other profesh types with their site’s music selection, so I just thought I would share what I was jamming out to.

Hope you likey!
