Thuper Thong Thurthday 2: Mellow-ness

Yes that is correct it is Thursday and it is time for another episode of Thuper Thong Thurthday.  This week I'm feeling a little mleh so I have been listening to a lot of mellow, mellow music.  A lot of Mumford & Sons and the like.  I will now be showing you some of the mellow-ness I have been playing lately to make it through the day...

Also, I noticed that having the full video posted made MY browser a little laggy.  Not a lot laggy but enough to irritate the 60 FPS needing nerd inside me.  So I have opted for a "click the link, new tab" method.  Let me know which way you prefer and I will act accordingly.  

I will also be posting all live versions of these songs that I love.  Makes it feel more...organic (too hippy??) Screw it. Organic.

On to the list-y:

TTT #2 Playlist
 
My New Favorite Band:

My new favorite band is named Monsters Calling Home.  From what I have gathered it is a group of Koreans from Los Angeles and they don't have a very big following...yet.  I liked this band so much I actually BOUGHT their EP.  That's right will real world dollars.  Now, being the poor person that I am, I do not do this very often (very sad to admit that).  This band is absolutely amazing.  Currently this song, Foxbeard, is my favorite.  But you should listen to all of the stuff they have, it's out of this world good.

Another New Favorite:

This next band I found labeled as The Last Bison.  The when I went to their website it was only Bison. Either way, I love this damn song.  It's got just the right amount of folky mountainess that I just love, and his voice is just raspy and soothing in the right amounts.  Awesome band.  Great song.

An Old Favorite:

This band is named Horse Feathers.  This is another band I found due to Tiny Desk Concerts.  Great show.  This guy's voice is sometimes (most times) hard to understand because it is very, very soft.  But it is an extremely good soft. This is the whole Tiny Desk Concert, but the first song, Working Poor, is the one I would like you to hear.  If you listened to the rest, well, that'd be ok too.

Popular Mellow Songs I'm Loving Right This Second:

First up is the Avett Brothers.  They are good stuff.  They also follow this Thursday's theme and are kind of mountain-y mellow.  I think this is a really beautiful song that everyone should know...

Second is Cough Syrup by Young The Giant.  It is just catchy and non mountain-y.  So if you were sick of the banjos, here is your respite.  Enjoy.

That's it for this week folks.  Let me know what you guys think of the list in the comment box below.

This weeks playlist was brought to you by Ken & Pat Tarver for birthing me and listeners like you.  I am net-casting out of my apartment in Sunny Lake Charles, LA.  Thanks for listening to KKNY.  Good luck. Over...and out.
