Everyone was describing President Obama’s cool Spotify playlist as a mix. Well, it wasn’t. But it is now.
Obama’s favorite songs… including music from U2, Aretha Franklin, Al Green, Florence & The Machine, No Doubt, Bruce Springsteen, Raphael Saadiq and more… now mixed together Mick Boogie & Terry Urban style.
Dropkick Murphys will release their seventh full-length studio album, Going Out In Style, March 1, 2011 on their own Born & Bred Records (ILG).

Hi! The wonderful day of the week that is Friday is upon us once again and I’m back with my utterly magical music update to make it that much better!
The other day I was perusing through my iTunes and came across The White Lies; I’d forgotten how much I absolutely love them. Their first album “To Lose My Life” is ludicrously good and it’s been a minute since I’ve heard anything new from them and was I wondering when they were going to release some new material. The greatness that is 2010 strikes yet again and what do I come across this week? The video for their new single, “Bigger Than Us”. Check it out Here, it’s an absolute banger of a track.

Every week we ask someone to pick a mood and 5 songs that put them into that mood. This week we talked to Michael TImmins from the Cowboy Junkies, only he picked albums instead of songs…fair enough!
