This band can easily be described as the Scottish version of The National. The funny thing is this album has hooked me faster than The National. If you like The National you are sure to love The Twilight Sad. If you don't like The National, maybe there was just that something missing, then check out this group.

The title of this post is the name of one sweet album from this year. It is from the electrofunk group out of Montreal and NYC named Chromeo. I just happened to watch Jimmy Kimmel Live, which I rarely do, and I caught this band on there. I immediately liked the song "Bonafied Lovin' (Tough Guys)," so I had to check out the album. This album is good for your ears and your feet. Check it out, and if you like it support the artist.

Over the summer I had the great opportunity of going to Jordan. It was an amazing five weeks, and I learned a little Arabic, more about the Middle East, and had a chance to see so many wonderful sites. Seriously, you do not know how awe-inspiring Petra is until you have seen it, in person, with your own eyes. I could talk about the trip forever really. I have included a link to a video of pictures set to Oasis's "Let There Be Love." Enjoy.

Boat Man Love is a band from Denmark that incorporates blues and rock into their music. I first heard them when some friends and I were sharing songs of artists we hoped the other had not heard. I heard three songs -- one inspiring the title of this post, "The Man You're Tugging In." I immediately latched onto those three songs, but I did not know where to buy any albums. Well, my friend and his brother, the two who introduced me to the band, went to see them in concert. They surprised me by sending me Boat Man Love's album Black on Blue. It is not as good as the three songs I first heard, but this album is a solid album. It continues to grow on me with more listens. One can definitely hear the influences of Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Johnny Cash, and other similar artists upon their music. Check out their myspace: http://www.myspace.com/httpwwwmyspacecomboatmanlove
