Be My Thrill, Be My Honeypie

That's Steve and that's Deb of The Weepies, a really kick-ass folk/pop band I'm in love with. Check 'em out!
Next up in Letting Out the Domestic: A Series on New Apartment Life...
New Arrivals (It's in the Music)
Have you ever listened to The Weepies? They are one of my favorite bands, a folk duo with some of the sweetest tunes and most charming lyrics you'll find. Plus, Deb and Steve started just as bandmates and are now married with a beautiful little babe and that's just a lovely story all around :)
I highly recommend oogling at the beautiful pics on their Myspace page. You can see the adorable little Theo in all his glory and check out some of their awesome songs.
Oh, and also: they have a song titled "I Was Made for Sunny Days." Who wouldn't want to listen to that on a lovely end-of-summer afternoon?
I just downloaded the new album Be My Thrill and I'm stoked. It's some really great stuff, plus it's getting me even more pumped to see them live at Space in Evanston very soon! I am finally, finally checking them off the list of fave bands to see live.
The other night I was going through all my (32!) old ticket stubs from past shows -- everything from Spoon to Treasure Island fest to The Decemberists and Josh Ritter, too -- and I realized it's been awhile since I've seen some rockin' live music. And quite awhile since I've seen one of those intimate, life-changing acoustic shows that are the ones you really remember.
So, along with all of the other shifts and changes that this fall season will bring, I'm ready for a new arrival into great music, too. Other bands I hope to listen to more of as the weather turns cooler:
Lady Antebellum (for the smooth-talkin' days)
Rise Against (for the crazy days)
Innocence Mission (for the quiet times)
Mat Kearney (for when I'm longing)
The Ghost of Brown County (for when it's time to dance)
She & Him (for the long and winding days)
Amos Lee (for the peaceful moments)
Who are you playing on repeat lately? Who do you listen to get pumped up? To chill out? Who's bumpin' in your backseat on long travel days or in your speakers at home while you're cleaning? After yoga class?
Recommendations appreciated. Enjoy the tun-tunes!
