general random musicalness
I like it when random musical discoveries turn out to be quite awesome.
On Thursday at work, someone brought up to my desk a copy of the self titled album by Boys Like Girls. I hadn’t ever heard of them before, but I listened to the first song and smiled at its catchy tunes and very pop-punk beats… and then saved the rest for the drive home (I always like listening to new albums when I’m driving rather than anywhere else). It’s always fun to find new music that makes you want to smile and jump around. Good times.
And then just now, I was having a poke around in the iTMS, and the sometimes annoying “Just For You” section actually proved to be potentially useful today. It pointed me to Clinging To The Cross by Tim Hughes (the fantastic songwriter of Here I Am To Worship), mainly, I think, because it features Brooke Fraser. But a quick listen to that song and a few others on his Holding Nothing Back album proved that it might actually be quite a quality album. Chalk that up as one to buy sometime soon.
Soon it is time to go and make music of my own tonight though. I am looking forward to making good use of some B3 organ soundige tonight :)
