Truly, Madly, Bloody – Music from True Blood

21. August 2009 · Filed under: Mixtapes, Music · 2 Comments 

I’m a huge fan of the HBO television series True Blood, based on the The Southern Vampire Mysteries book series by Charlaine Harris. While the show is awesome, the music they choose week after week is phenomenal. Between country to electronic, the show never fails to pick the perfect music to compliment each episode.

Which means what? Well, it means that I am far overdue on making a mixtape of some great songs featured on the series! I’ve included some of my personal favorites from season one and two. For someone who hasn’t seen this fantastic show, I highly recommend it. For those of you who are already fans, be prepared to feast on some bloody good tunes.

Track Listing:

Bad Things – Jace Everett
Sweet Jane – Cowboy Junkies
The Forgotten People – Thievery Corporation
Timebomb – Beck
Two – Ryan Adams
Death Trip – Bad Livers
Escape From Dragon House - Dengue Fever
Sex and Candy – Marcy Playground
Half Of You – Cat Power
Day Too Soon – Sia
Until I Wake Up – Dishwalla
Trouble – Ray LaMontagne
Bleeding Love – Leona Lewis

If you like any of the songs listed above, please support the artist by purchasing them.

Murderface Plays Wheelchair Bound

I love this clip from Adult Swim’s Metalocalypse, where a band member of Dethklok named William Murderface plays an arcade game called Wheelchair Bound. It was a DVD extra. Enjoy!

John Mayer

16. September 2008 · Filed under: Music · 4 Comments 

In case you haven’t noticed, John Mayer has been on the music scene for quite a while now. Since releasing his first album Room For Squares in 2001, he has shown what a great singer-songwriter he is and has gone on to release Heavier Things in 2003 and Continuum in 2006. While each album in itself is a wonderful gift to any music lover, Continuum shows how much he has grown throughout his career. I truly believe that he is going to be one of the current popular musicians that will be successful for the rest of their lives and remembered long after they are gone.

Another thing to love about John Mayer?

Mayer allows audio taping at most of his live performances, and he also allows for the non-commercial trading of those recordings. He does this to give fans the opportunity to recreate the live experience, and to encourage fan interaction.

It’s refreshing to allow fans to share your music and not focus on money like a lot of musicians. Sure, one could argue that by fans sharing music they are bringing him more fans, which means more money, but I believe that sharing music is a wonderful thing and should be encouraged by any musician who cares more about his art than his bank account.

I could list all the awards he has won, list all the collaborations he has done, etc., but I don’t need to do that. John Mayer’s work stands on it’s own and this fan is looking forward to more. Until then, I’ll keep listening to the beautiful songs he’s already bestowed upon us.

I’ve chosen 3 songs to include here for your listening pleasure. I’ve decided to skip over his first two albums and post two songs from Continuum and a delicious cover song that was not released on an album at all. I hope you enjoy the songs as much as I do. Keep reading after the jump for a special treat!
