past musical obsessions of the week / month / whatever

When I used to blog on myspace, I would sometimes write about music that I had stumbled upon and enjoyed. Here they are, condensed into one neat post for your viewing pleasure.

5. This is a blog about one of my very favorite artists, Sia. Check her out.

4. Jose Gonzalez is a Swedish acoustic artist. His music is soft and soothing, but if you listen carefully to the words, you'll find that his message is not always in agreement with the melody. I first heard him on WMSV, the campus radio station at Mississippi State, and I had a hard time choosing songs to put on the playlist below-- they're all good.

Check out his myspace page here: http://www.myspace.com/josegonzalez

This song is my favorite:


3. Well, it's finals week, so obviously this week I'm procrastinating on my studying. Which is really stupid, because I'm completely done with the exception of one paper which I've known about forever, but took an extension on anyway because I just don't think I'll be able to write it before tomorrow morning. (Especially not now.) I really like being in grad school, because you get a ton of time to work on everything, but if you procrastinate like an undergrad, it will really REALLY catch up to you. However, instead of learning from my previous mistakes, I will probably be up all night on Thursday finishing this thing.

Anyway.

This week I'm feeling kinda into Charlotte Martin. I don't really know anything about her, but some of her stuff is good and some of her stuff is meh. So take a listen. (Also thanks to Nikki for introducing me to her music!)

2. This week I'm procrastinating on laundry, bathroom cleaning, and a paper about how Korean syntax works. (That's going to be a fun one.) Please procrastinate with me and enjoy the musical greatness that is Gomez, a band that gets a little play on the radio station here at MSU. They are British. They are badass. You will be a happier person for listening to them.

1. So, while procrastinating on the large majority of my work during this past semester, I stumbled upon some pretty awesome music. My current fav is Katy Perry, who I discovered after Perez gave her a shout-out on his blog (which I look at during the aforementioned procrastination). You can check her out on myspace music (http://www.myspace.com/katyperry/), or you can just listen to her on the music player below. Enjoy!
