A sports blog by and for Midwest Sports Fans
Even during March I like to step away from sports for a bit to sip a little chicken soup into my blogging soul. As long-time readers of MSF know, I do this through music. So here is my gift to myself and to you: 16 new songs that comprise a wonderful springtime listen.
As a lifelong Michael Jackson fan and aficionado, I typically do not like most remakes and remixes of his songs, but I am thoroughly enjoying these Duwende versions of Billie Jean, Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough, and others.
Indie Christmas is a great idea. As someone who listens to indie music more than anything else (other than the occasional 80s rap binge), this was something that Drew felt compelled to participate in as well. So he created his list of the 21 best new indie songs of 2011.
The 16 songs in this playlist were meticulously chosen from some 500+ that Jerod listened to, some of them 10-12 times each. It’s a labor of love he enjoys greatly (clearly), and we hope you enjoy listening even 50% as much as he enjoyed making this list.
Much like Jerod did last week, and Tyler earlier this week, Drew has put together a playlist of music: his favorite indie songs from the first half of 2011, featuring Bon Iver, The Decemberists, Local Natives, and many more.
Jerod unveils his ‘Indie Christmas in July 2011′ playlist, which features 18 terrific new indie tunes, a nice balance of genres, and more than a few songs with truly spectacular videos.
