I’ve been introduced to some new music artists & bands in the music industry, that I’ve became addicted to listening to. They are a few rock artists I’ve recently discovered.

The Black Keys – This is a band that only has two members, Dan Auerbach on guitar/vocals and Patrick Carney on the drums. I purchased two albums by them in Itunes, “Attack & Release” and “Brothers”. This is a very good band and they’ve become my new obsession. Great songwriters, tight, and really good guitar work, vocal harmony too. I love these guys. I would collect all their albums.

Arcade Fire – I also have all three of their albums in Itunes. “Funeral”, “Neon Bible” and “The Suburbs”. It is great rock n’ roll. All 3 albums are fantastic and looking forward to more music by them up ahead.

Ray Lamontagne – I’ve been seeing him perform on late night TV talk shows such as Fallon, Letterman, Leno, etc. I finally got his latest album, “God Willing and the Creek Don’t Rise”, and it just blew my mind. It’s a beautifully written album. This guy is a true talent in the music industry today.

This is some of the stuff I’ve been listening to on my Ipod lately, listening to this stuff while I work out at the Y. A lot of people like to listen to a single song on Ipods, like a radio or something. I’ve never listened to music like that. I’ve always listened to full albums. I don’t see how people can listen to just hit songs on an Ipod. Not me.

If you want to appreciate your love for music, you listen to the whole damn album.
