With Monday rapidly approaching, I'm trying to make sure I have some clutch music on my iPod to hold Keith and I over on the drive. He'll also have his iPod, but sometimes, he likes to get a little more country than I do. I get about as country as Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, which I feel like is the hipster, indie-alternative version of country.
Regardless, I realized that my iPod was missing Supertramp, so I'm currently rectifying that now. I'm generally of the indie-alternative persuassion. To give you an idea of what I'm into, I really enjoy Local Natives, Le Loup (who are now in the Blackberry commercials! Check them out!), fun. (currently in the Sprint commercials, I think?), Fleet Foxes, Band of Horses, Grizzly Bear, Vampire Weekend, Good Old War, Rilo Kiley and other fun stuff. I listen to all types really (Lord knows my two favorites are 311 and The Beatles and that I've been known to throw it down to Jay-Z and some other glorious rap songs), so give me some recommendations so Keith and I don't get bored of our iPods. Bonus points if it's a song about driving/road trips, even if it's not of the kind of music I listed.
In the meantime, I'm going to finally bask in "Give a Little Bit" since I've somehow lived this long without it on my iPod.
sounds like you have a sweet playlist in the works! (I love fleet foxes, vampire weekend, band of horses and le loup too!!)
