Video of the Day: Gaslight Anthem- “Handwritten”

This video absolutely brings me to tears. Maybe I’m just a sap when it comes to vinyl records or maybe it’s because the lyrics in this song are incredible, but I get teary eyed every time I watch it. It is such an original concept for a music video. Enjoy:

Band of the Day: Harvard

Harvard is a relatively new Progressive Rock band from Charlotte, NC that’s making a name for themselves quick. Their most recent album “The Inevitable and I” gained a lot of great recognition on the East Coast. The band recently wrapped up a North Carolina tour, covering most of the Eastern areas and I’m really hoping to see them branch out across the states.

They have a great sound and could probably go far on the quality of the music that they managed to produce alongside Brian Mcternan, who is responsible for Emarosa’s debut album, “On Letting Go” by Circa Survive (amazing album might I add) and many more.

They’re by far one of my favorite bands at the moment and they’re definitely worth a listen.

Time to break out the Christmas playlist!

Every year around the beginning of November I start thinking about my Christmas playlist. I have to force myself to wait until after Thanksgiving to put up the tree and decorations, but more importantly I have to hold off on the Christmas music. My general rule about listening to holiday music is day after Thanksgiving to January 1st. Here my list of favorite holiday songs. I will forewarn you though it is very diverse and cheesy. Here goes:
