Last Saturday night I went to see Sunset Rubdown at Johnny Brenda’s in Philadelphia. I love how intimate the venue is, and my friend Morgan who is a huge fan of the band, made sure we were front and center. Ever since the show, I’ve been listening a lot to Spencer Krug’s other band, Wolf Parade. It might just be a reflection of where my life is right now, but I can’t seem to get enough of this song from their first album, “Apologies to the Queen Mary.”

Song I can’t stop listening to: Wolf Parade’s “This Heart’s on Fire”

It’s raining and in an unforeseen moment of nostalgia, I listened to a lot of Dr. Dog today. If you aren’t hip to this band, catch up. They have finely tuned the art of folk ballads with a blend of acoustic guitar, piano and harmonica. Their most recent record Fate was one of my favorite albums of last year. The photos above are from their free concert in Rittenhouse Square, which proved to be one of my favorite nights of last summer. I went with Ryan and my good friends Anna and Eric (pictured, bottom right).

Song I can’t stop listening to: Dr. Dog’s “The Breeze”
