Naughty Songs

Everybody has their own “guilty pleasure” songs. You know the ones that make you want get up and dance, or maybe even do something naughty. I’ve been pretty addicted to a few of these recently, so I thought I’d share them with you all! 1. Pour Some Sugar On Me by Def Leppard This song [...]

This is no Letdown

A song that’s been on my mind a lot lately has been Letdown by This Providence. Listen to it once or twice to see what you think. One of the very cool things about it to start is the strumming pattern, it has a very distinctive up and down series of strums, keeping the song [...]

So much time, and so much music!

Since I have been on here there has been so much good new music that I feel I should comment on, however I’ve gone through some life changes recently and haven’t had nearly enough time to listen to it all! Some of the new CDs that have been released recently are: Fall Releases 2010 Something [...]

Concerts I’ve Been To!

Ok, so I’ve been to a fair amount (90 to be exact) of concerts over the last several years, so I thought I’d post them and tell you what I’ve thought. There some bands I’ve seen multiple times, so that will be listed in parenthesis. In future posts I’ll have to explain some funny stories [...]

Best Remakes

Occasionally you find a band that does a really amazing job with a remake. It might not necessarily sound like the original, sometimes even better! London Bridge by Bowling for Soup (originally by Fergie) While I hate both Fergie and the original song, I fell in love when I first heard this version. Not only [...]

Band that nobody has ever heard of: AM Taxi

A few people might actually know about these guys, because they are just starting to gain popularity. I found them a month or two ago when I got a free download of their new single, The Mistake. I didn’t get a chance to listen to it until this past week, when was looking through my [...]

Free Legal Punk Music (What could be better?)

We all know that usually downloading music from the internet is illegal and wrong, right? (please just nod and say yes) However it can be legal if the music is downloaded from a group that has the right to distribute it such as the band itself, the recording company, or maybe a sponsor. Yesterday I [...]

Death Cab for Cutie

Death Cab for Cutie was created in only 1997 though they have the sound of a much older polished band. They were named after a 1967 song by  the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band.  They started as a small little known band from Washington state, and produced their music through Barsuk Records. Then in 2004 they [...]

Musical Pet Peeves

I am a musically obsessed person, so when someone uses music in the wrong context, or talks about something they know nothing about, it really, really, really bothers me. As you saw in the last post I wrote about the whole Green Day/pop-punk mistake which is a perfect example of this! My sister and one [...]

Emotive, Unstable…..

Music changes lives, and there is one band that single handedly changed mine – Anberlin. My blog name (Unwindingcablecar) is named after their song Unwinding Cable Car, which is a beautiful and inspiring song. Stephen Christian’s vocals soar, and contain so much raw emotion it’s impossible to make it through an entire cd without digging [...]
