I don’t think I’ve ever really talked about it much on the blog, but I LOVE music. It might not seem like it since I recently admitted that I have never been to a concert, but I really do love it! I was the 7 year old Korean child who really wanted to be a country singer when she grew up. That dream didn’t really pan out, but I never stopped loving music! I just wish I actually had some musical talent…haha. My only real musical gift is for making MIX CDS. I love a good mix cd! To me there’s something really intimate about sharing your favorite songs with a friend or someone you like via old technology…haha. Cds are becoming obsolete though, so I need to get with the times!
Right now I’m really into Justin Timberlake’s new album, the 20/20 experience! Especially the first single, Suit and Tie. I think I like it so much because we need more suits and ties in society today and less Honey boo boo child. I’m not trying to hate on HBBC, but I do think that JT’s new song reminds me of a time when people cared about dressing up andΒ trying. I don’t know…maybe I’m just being old fashioned or just getting old, but the song really is awesome!
JT aside, I like a little bit of everything, but my favorites are alternative bands like Band of Horses, the Avett Brothers, and the Temper Trap. And I actually just bought a ticket to see Band of Horses play in Norfolk this May! I’m really excited because a lot of bands I really like have weekend dates and I have weddings booked on weekends during the summer. I’m pretty obsessed with Band of Horses though, so I’m glad my first concert experience is going to be theirs!
I also listen to a lot of other random stuff! I LOVE Hall and Oates more than it’s normal for a 25 year old female to. I don’t know why I love them, I just do! Β 90’s pop and r&b are also favorites, especially when I’m in the car. I love classic Britney Spears, Will Smith’s clean rap songs, and Montell Jordan. My next goal in life is to open a 90’s pop and r&b bar…wouldn’t that be awesome?? I would go every weekend…or maybe the twice a year I go to bars would be to that one.
So this month I’m giving away a $15 dollar iTunes card. You can buy The 20/20 Experience, or maybe make yourself or someone special a mix cd! I won’t judge you if you buy Taylor Swift, I promise:)
All you have to do to enter to win the gift card is leave a comment on this post telling me what your favorite band is right now! Winner will be picked randomly on Friday morning!
The new JT cd is so good! Band of Horses is so good live. Your gonna love it!
I listen to music everyday and its what helps me get through the day..currently I’m going through old music, i’ve never had a major favorite but right now there’s Yellowcard, Maroon5, Dashboard Confessional and Secondhand Serenade =]
Katie! So fun to hear about your music taste π I love that you like Band of Horses and The Avett Brothers! I’ve been to 3 Avett concerts in the past 2 years and they’re amazing life – you have to see them! Aside from those two… I think my favorite artist is either Mumford & Sons or David Crowder. If I had to choose one I would go with David Crowder… only because he has more albums π However, if I win this gift certificate, the nerd in me has to admit that I would be buying the Les Miserables soundtrack from the 10th anniversary concert. Yeah… I’m that girl.
I LOVE THIS POST!!! Mostly because I love music too!!! Like a lot, especially bands that aren’t on the radio. But right now I have Sons of Sylvia streaming on Spotify. Yesterday I was obsessed with The Rescues. Changes so fast!!
I’m really feeling the Mumford and Sons right now. Love their oldschool Irish sound with a little of the new(er) age rock. <3
I like the Zac Brown Band but one of my favorite artists is Blake Shelton π
Um, my favesie music right now is tied between Gregory Alan Isakov and The Civil Wars!!!!!!!!!!!!
tswift 4ever.
So glad you’re getting to see one of your fav bands in concert! You must see the Avett Brothers live, too! They are spectacular!
Hmmm… It’s hard to pick a favorite band because I have so many! Right now, it would be 98 Degrees! They’re back together, touring and will release an album next month! Cannot wait! I still have some money left over from Christmas and I’m saving up for the 98 Degrees’ album but if I win this, I am so getting JT’s album!
Zedd. The end π
My favorite bank right now is Imagine Dragons! I love the whole album and especially love their song Radioactive! Thanks for the giveaway π
My favorite band right now is probably Red Hot Chili Peppers!!
Hi Katie! My favorite band is Pearl Jam.
Katatonia or Opeth! I love melodic metal π
Hey Katie! Is it wrong I like that poppin tags song? Cracks me up every time I hear it. But I’m into Five Finger Death Punch and Kesha right now. I think the baby is messing up my brain.
