MUSIC MONDAY (4): Maroon 5 + Coldplay


Music Monday is a weekly feature we love to read by Jessica @ Lovin' Los Libros and since I have music playing at all times of the day, no matter what is going on (even to read) I talked Shel into spreading our music love with you! 

Court's Pick this Week: 
Maroon 5: Hands All Over
Maroon 5 is my pick this week, not only because I love their music...but because I finally get to join the cool crowd and see them live on Thursday night in the good ole STL (aka, St Louis, in case you were wondering). I enjoy their latest album, but Hands All Over is by far my front runner favorite. I love every single song on this album...and that is what I am always looking for in a solid band. The worst thing ever for me is to only like 1 or 2 songs on a CD. Luckily iTunes prevents me from committing that crime these days! Oh yeah, even though Adam Levine has officially broken both Shelley & I's hearts by getting engaged...we still love him! My favorite tracks if I had to pick something: How & Runaway




Shelley's Pick this Week:
Coldplay: X & Y

I chose Coldplay this week not only because I enjoy their sound, but also because "Fix Me" completely fits the tone of The Breathing series by Rebecca Donovan. I am currently in the fetal position on my couch because of that series and if Coldplay could either fix those characters or fix me...I'd really appreciate it.  Seriously. Okay...well. Coldplay is one of those bands...their music just seems so huge that my ears can't possibly hear it all and my soul may not feel it all but I love every ounce of it that I hear and feel. I'd love to go see them live; I bet watching them perform and listening to them play would be mesmerizing and an experience I'd never forget.

MUSIC MONDAY (1): TWENTY ONE PILOTS & MAROON 5


Music Monday is a weekly feature we love to read by Jessica @ Lovin' Los Libros and since I have music playing at all times of the day, no matter what is going on (even to read) I talked Shel into spreading our music love with you! 

For our very first time joining in, our selections are Twenty One Pilots' album Vessel and Maroon 5's album Songs About Jane

Courtney's Pick: Twenty One Pilots

Courtney: Why I Listen
I first heard Holding On To You on Pandora at work (Yes..I am quite the dedicated employee ;)..j/k I am incredibly lucky to have a a Doc who doesn't mind that I hate silence). I think it was on the Today's Alternative Station...anyways...I fell in love with that song. I can't help but move when I hear it and play it over and over and over again. A general theme for the music I enjoy is the more different the voice the better, and I think this guy meets that qualification, in the best way possible of course.

Shelley's Pick: Maroon 5




Shelley: Why I Listen: 

I liked Maroon 5 but seeing them perform at this year's Jazz Fest in NOLA sealed the deal. They are phenomenal live--and if you have the chance to see them live, I'd recommend it. They have such charisma and, of course, Adam Levine is hotness personified. Gah! I have a huge crush. H-U-G-E. Anyway, their music is fun to sing in the car with my two daughters and their sound isn't just the pop stuff but is expanding to include a lot of different flavors. It's good stuff!
