Chanson du Jour

While I have been gone there have been a few musicians that have really become big. Most of them are garbage. A few of them have songs worth listening to. Here are some ascending musicians of the past couple years.

The Cave by Mumford & Sons


If you haven't heard this next song, you should really re-examine your life and what you do while in the car. It is played on literally every station except the oldies and country station here in Dallas. Top 40, lite rock, mix 102.9, the alternative station, the rock station....all of them. It is the most ubiquitous song of the past few months. Overplayed though it is, I still like it.

Pumped Up Kicks by Foster The People


Last time this next artist made it on this blog, I was criticized. The criticizer has since apologized for making fun of me when she herself discovered the greatness of this next artist. This artist has exploded on the scene in the past year with a new album that spent months at #1 in several countries and several big singles. I looked at getting concert tickets for her (but she can't stay on tour because of laryngitis issues) but the show was sold out with tickets selling for $350 a ticket. That puts her up with the big guns as far as ticket prices go. But, she is greatness. Just FYI this video has over 170,000,000 views on Youtube.

Rolling In The Deep by Adele


And last but not least, this band has also become pretty big over the past couple years.

Tighten Up by The Black Keys


There have been other bands that have exploded onto the scene in the last year like Cage the Elephant, but you lucky readers learned about that band from this blog long before they ever hit the radio. You are welcome.

Enjoy your turkey and football.

We liked the video better than the song. However, we were informed that the ending song in the movie Limitless was done by the black keys and we liked that movie, so we are confused.

didn't know we had to leave our comments on all the songs on one post.

Mumford? Forget it!

Foster? a couple of kids here liked it but for anyone with any sense it is annoyingly repetetive

Adele? Greatness
