For The Ears: Walk The Moon

One of the reasons why I love last.fm so much is because they are always recommending me awesome artists. And one of those recommendations led me to find this amazing band called Walk The Moon.

The indie rock band based in Ohio started in 2008, and released their first independent album in november of 2010. These guys are upbeat, fun, inspirational and down right awesome... so, I'm going to stop talking now and just let you listen to them.

Their most known song is called "Anna Sun" and although the video is pretty great, I have to admit that this live cover of the song is, by far, one of my favorite things ever. Therefore, instead of getting to see the generic music video, you get to experience the band just having fun while doing what they love: create music.

And finally, my favorite song of them so far. "Next in Line" is absolutely delightful and rich, in my opinion. It's a song about young love and freedom. It's a song about just letting go of everything else and only focusing on enjoying life while we can. And it is definitely a song that always lift my spirits!

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed Walk The Moon at least almost as much and I do. Be sure to check out more of their music in their web-site. Until the next artist/band!

Bonus: Check out this awesome fan art about them that I found and absolutely loved!

WatchList: Pitch Perfect

Okay, let's be real, if you love Glee as much as I do, your excitement about this upcoming movie should be HUGE!

Based on Mickey Rapkin's original novel Pitch Perfect, Kay Cannon (writer for 30 Rock) wrote the screenplay for the soon-to-be-out movie with the same name.

Directed by Jason Moore (Tony Award as Best Director nominee in 2004 for Avenue Q), Pitch Perfect tells the story of an all-women a cappella group that rebuilds themselves and strives to beat their rivals -an all boys singing group- and win the championship.

Here's the official Pitch Perfect trailer:

Cast includes Anna Kendrick known for Up In The Air, 50/50 and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World; Rebel Wilson (Bridesmaids, Struck By Lightning); Brittany Snow (Hairspray); Skylar Astin (Spring Awakening); Freddie Stroma (Harry Potter 6, 7 & 7.2) and Elizabeth Banks (The Hunger Games).

And here's a sneak peek of the movie!

After seeing the Riff Off, I totally cannot wait to see the rest of the movie because I'm pretty sure it will be super awesome.

I mean, comedy and singing is, after all, the best recipe for perfection!

For The Ears: Imagine Dragons

So, I guess this is me starting a new tag about music.

Ha! This should be fun... Anyways, everyone who knows me is aware of the fact that I don't go a day without listening to music. It is as simple as that, really. So, what I want to do is share with anyone I can all the incredible music that I hear, because every amazing artist out there deserves to be heard of!

First up, it's the very talented band called Imagine Dragons.

"It's Time" is the name of their single, and it is also a song that I have been obsessed with ever since I heard their EP, Continued Silence. Honestly, I believe their beat is incredible, the lyrics are beautiful and overall, I just adore them. My favorite song, though, has to be "On Top Of The World" because it makes my heart happy, and somehow, I always end up smiling when I listen to it.

So, what do you think? Are they amazing or what? I cannot wait for their first CD -it's going to be out in September- because I'm pretty sure it's going to be absolutely awesome!

If you love them as much as I do, please show them some love and support by buying their songs, sending them nice tweets to their account AND voting for the band to win at the MTV's Video Music Awards (they're nominated for Best Rock Video of 2012!!)
