MUZIC MONDAYZ: LIGHTNING 100 EDITION

In case you really don't know me at all, I love Lightning 100.

Lightning 100, for those of you poor, unfortunate souls out there who don't know, is the greatest radio station of all time. They love great music, they put on awesome concerts, they have the best DJs (this tweet from Wells Adams made my whole year), and mostly, they love the city I love: Nashville.

I could go on for days about my undying love for Nashville's Independent Radio ("independently owned, independently operated!"), but I digress...

These three songs have been bustin' up my Spotify* at work, and owe every ounce of their discovery to Lightning 100.

Supersoaker by Kings of Leon

Head On by Man Man

And the song that always makes me feel good, I'm Getting Ready by Michael Kiwanuka

*Sorry I use Spotify at work Wells, Lt. Dan, Hammel, Heather LeRoy, etc. Please forgive me for my sin.

"ALL I CAN" BY SHARON VAN ETTEN

This song makes me want to cry, and laugh, and dance all at once. If I were a runner (which, if you know me at all, you know that I am the furthest thing from that), I would run to this song. Start off slow, and then around minute 3 when the instruments swell and you can feel the passion behind the vocals, I'd sprint, and I'd get my second wind, and I would smile.

THE BEST SONG OF ALL TIME

...is a three-way tie. I just couldn't pick one!

Undeniably great song #1:

Immeasurably fantastic song #2:

And finally, Best-Song-Ever #3, which inexplicably has no studio-version YouTube video:

I'm not joking.....


But someday I'll share some of my more contemporary music taste with you guys too.
