Forever Young

You didn't think I'd forgotten about the Grey's tunes did ya?! The songs from last night's episode were a lot better than the episode itself so I'll just let them do the talking. I did like hearing someone call Bailey "Mandy" though...that was cute.


Ben Lee - "What Would Jay-Z Do?"

Ben Lee is such a quirky cat. I dig that about him. A lot. His new album Ripe hasn't grown on me the way Awake Is The New Sleep and Breathing Tornadoes but this is my favorite track from it and I was glad to hear it play last night. Everyone should ask themselves this question at least twice a day. I think we'd all be better for it. The awesome Aussie is currently on tour throughout the country (stopping in my town in early December...YAY!!) and you can check out dates on his Myspace page and buy the albums at a music retailer near you or as always on iTunes.



Chris Garneau - "Black & Blue"

Chris Garneau made another appearance on Grey's last night. If you're following along at home this is his second song featured on the show. The first was on the second episode of this season "Love/Addiction" and I said what I wanted to say then so I'll just redirect you here.




Rilo Kiley - "Breakin' Up"

Like there's anything I could write here about Rilo Kiley that hasn't already been regurgitated in a million blogs a million times. Jenny Lewis and Co. have taken the Indie music scene by storm in the past few years and as much as I try to shy away from all that type of madness and I wasn't on the Rilo Kiley bandwagon with the rest of the world but I gotta say I LOVE their latest album Under the Blacklight. It's oh so fantastic and may even end up on my year end list. I suppose Rilo Kiley are one of the major Grey's success stories since their song "Portions for Foxes" made a huge splash after being featured in the debut episode.




Tegan & Sara - "Call It Off"

I'm not sure and I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong but I'd be willing to bet that Tegan & Sara are probably the most featured band on Grey's. I can think of at least 7 of their tracks that have been played on the show. If they're not then they have to be tied with Joe Purdy and Brandi Carlile for the spot. This track is from this year's The Con which dropped in July and has been profiled all over the place ever since. The Canadian twins also just released I'll Take The Blame an EP to accompany their release if you will and they're all over North America playing sold out shows now through December 6th. After that they'll be circling the globe to the land down under and points all through Europe until the end of March. Catch 'em if you can!




Cary Brothers - "The Last One"

Cary Brothers is yet another artist that the music folks on the show just cannot seem to get enough of. He also has a new album out titled Who You Are and that's where you can find this track. I have a love/hate relationship with Cary. I love his music and yet I really haven't been impressed with his live sets at all. It pains me to say that, it really does but that's the truth. But, I'm gonna give him another chance when I see him with Ben Lee and Katie Voegele. Hopefully he'll change my mind. If you're inclined to see hit set and decide for yourself what you think of his live show then check him out on tour when he comes to a town near you. You can find dates here.
