This Week's Picks: 9/1-9/8

Happy September! For those of you who started school this week like we did, I hope it’s going well! For those of you who start next week, I am extremely jealous! I know it’s going to be a busy semester full of work and studying, which calls for some killer studying playlists!! 

When you think about alternative music, there are so many different sub-genres that also fall under the category. If you go onto iTunes and look up the Top 100 chart for alternative songs, you will find all different types of bands. For this reason, I decided to add a song to this week’s playlist that I typically wouldn’t. The song is called “The Weekend” by Modern Baseball. They fall under the Alternative genre, but are a little more pop-punk. I’m going to be seeing them in November with The Front Bottoms and Brand New, and I can’t wait! This song is a little older, but I can’t get enough of it! The title is appropriate for the one thing that cannot come faster after the first week of classes, the weekend. 

I’m all for sharing music with my friends, and love it when we just spend the night swapping songs and making recommendations about what we think the other should listen to. On a beach trip last weekend, my friend put on the song “Lost It” by Circa Waves and I loved it! I was a fan of their song “T-Shirt Weather” that was getting a lot of play on the radio last summer. I’m looking forward to listening to the rest of the album and finding another favorite!

Enjoy your long weekend!!
