Who I'm Listening To: The Jinxes

Having three posts in a row about Jonathan Taylor Thomas was starting to creep even me out, so I thought I'd divert the path of this blog back to territory that's a little more respectable: music. Specifically, The Jinxes, which is an up-and-coming folk pop singer/songwriter duo based out of Monterey, CA. I first heard about these guys on Twitter, when I got a notification they were following my tweets. I'm not sure how they found my profile, but I'm glad they did. They're pretty good! The soothing melodies and guitar riffs are very similar to those of The Weepies, which makes them a good go-to when you're looking for something a little more mellow.

As of right now, The Jinxes only have two songs, "Migration" and (my personal favorite) "If You Want (the buh bah song)." I think they have the potential to have a pretty solid music career, and I look forward to seeing new things from them in the future. For now, though, you can catch them on Twitter, Facebook, and here.

P.S. Does talking about a musical duo that's so new it doesn't even have an album out yet make me a hipster? 

Songs I Am Loving Right Now

I don't have anything pithy or funny to write about at the moment, so I decided to link to some songs that I am LOVING THE CRAP OUT OF RIGHT NOW. Enjoy.

This guy is kind of like a Catholic John Mayer, except without the questionable Playboy interview.


Busy Signal-Night Shift/One More Night
I love reggae. I also love the song, "Night Shift." So when I found out that the two were combined, I nearly pissed myself out of pure joy. Okay, not really. I just exclaimed something like, "Hell yeah, I am feeling this!"


Matisyahu-Time of Your Song
A Jewish guy singing a reggae-ish tune. With soul. My head is about to explode.
