My NPR Playlist

Okay, so I am a full-blown NPR nerd. I listen to it all day, every day. If I'm not listening to the program stream at work, I'm listening to music that I discovered via NPR. So I figured that I might as well share my discoveries with my vast readership. :) Here's this week's favorite song!!


Two Weeks by Grizzly Bear

I have also been grooving on Miike Snow, an amazing Swedish group that was recently featured on NPR's World Cafe. I've got their album, the self-title Miike Snow, on repeat. I highly recommend it.

My other recent listens/discoveries (realizing that I may have discovered this artists WAAAY after everyone else has, but oh well!):

Sarah Jarosz, an 18-year old bluegrass dynamo!

Relator, a single by Pete Yorn and Scarlett Johansson. I was surprised how good she is!

The Blow, a Portland-based band that does an amazing rendition (at least for the chorus of their song, Come on Petunia) of the Police's Everything Little Thing She Does is Magic.

As I continue my musical journey, I'll be sure to share it with you. Happy Thursday!
