The Knife- Heartbeats

When I first heard this song I was really confused where it came from and what time period it belonged to, then I stopped caring and now I really enjoy it. Its from the Swedish electropop group the Knife and I think her accent makes the song way better.

Heartbeats- The video is cool too

In honor of Sam's birthday- Led Zeppelin II

My birthday was yesterday, but this is my favorite album ever!!!

And although every song on this album is pure perfection, here are some of the best...

Lemon Song- sexual!

Thank you- Whit and I's wedding song

What is and what should never be- passion.

Ramble On- Bonham on the pail

I Love America and This is Why

We have really sexual renditions of our national anthem...

Marvin Gaye

Jimi Hendrix

Wu Tang Clan-36 Chambers

Ever since I (Sam) went to Ireland I have entered a phase of hip hop that I can not get out of (not that I want to). The forefront of this hip hop obsession is Wu Taaannng. I'm still new to the Wu Tang fanaticism and have only really become acquainted with 36 Chambers, but oh what an album. I love all of the songs on this album but here are my favorites.
Method Man- favorite lyric? "Ooh I be the super sperm, Chim chimmeny chim chim cherie,
Freak a flow and flow fancy free"
Wu Tang Clan Ain't Nuthin to Fuck With- Its impossible not to feel bad ass when listening to this.
C.R.E.A.M- ahh the piano...

Best Album of 2009?? Why its Merriweather Post Pavilion!

We just wanted to add in our 2 cents about what was the best album of the year, and the honor obviously goes to one of our favorite bands Animal Collective! This album is phenomenal. If you are not used to Animal Collective listen to this album a couple times before you write it off, sometimes it takes people a little time before they see Animal Collectives' true beauty. Every song on this album is pretty much the most creative and beautiful thing you could ever do yourself the honor of listening too. Our favorite tracks on the album however are summertime clothes (if you haven't danced around to this song in warm weather at some point in your life TRY IT) and Brother Sport, which is actually the coolest music video we have ever seen. So if you were unfortunate enough to go through 2009 without this glorious album, stay calm and just make up for lost time by listening to it non stop.

Nurses!!!

We would like to thank our friend Caitie for introducing to a plethora of good modern music (we often get stuck in the seventies?) Nurses is one of the many bands she has graciously given us.
Nurses is a great band based out of Portland, OR. Their sound has been characterized by some as psychedelic folk we think of it more as what you might hear on a whimsical journey through the forests. Don't let that description turn you off, because Apple's Acre (the album we are recommending) is very good.
Turns our Apple's Acre is their second album to come out. And although the entire album is worth a listen here are some of our favorite tracks...
Lita- This song has a good beat and a pleasant story to the lyrics, even though we can't clarify that because we can't find the lyrics anywhere on the World Wide Web.
Technicolor-Great melody
Caterpillar Playground- the whistling is sick

What We Hope to Accomplish through out Misty Mountain Music Musings

So this weekend, the creators of this blog were trying to think of a business set up that would allow us (Whitney and Sam) to live in the glorious mountains of the northeast while still making a lot of money. The only thing we decided that was of value that we can give to the world is our music taste. It can be quite good at times. So, in hope to live a luxurious life in the mountains we have started this blog which will (obviously) become immensely popular and make us hillbillies rich. In the meantime we just honestly like telling people about what music we like and discovering new music ourselves. Each day we will put up an album or song that we find extremely enjoyable and that we hope you will find enjoyable as well.
So please read this religiously and tell all of your friends to read it so we can become extremely rich...and also relish in all the good music we are about to share with you, it has changed our lives and if you try it will probably change yours as well.
