Hey all! With the Oscars coming up this Sunday, I thought I'd share a song from one of the nominated films. There is a lot of music to choose from but I opted for "Always Alright" by Alabama Shakes as heard on the Silver Linings Playbook soundtrack. Alabama Shakes formed in 2009 and in 2011 caught the attention of the New York Times, NPR, and other media outlets, essentially lifting out of obscurity in a matter of months. Their first single "Hold On" off their debut album "Boys & Girls" enjoyed critical and commercial success, earning them three nominations at this year's Grammy Awards. The future is looking bright for these Southern rockers, who have only just begun making music. Anyway, if it isn't obvious by now, I like Alabama Shakes. The second this song started playing in the movie I recognized the explosive voice of lead singer and guitarist Brittany Howard, whose vocals have compared to Janis Joplin. In the video below, you can see Howard and her band mates in action as well as snippets from the film. I recommend checking both out. Enjoy!

ETC #21 "Walk This Way"

Song: "Walk This Way"
Artist: Aerosmith
Link: http://youtu.be/bKttENbsoyk
Comments: HAPPY FRIDAY! After many of you are probably still recovering from the large amounts of food from Thanksgiving and possibly going shopping today (depending on your tolerance for massive crowds) so, I thought I would send an oldie, but an excellent song to get you motivated to get up and do something fun today. I was in the car with my dad the other day and we had the radio up quite loud to this sound because, why the heck not? I'm sure majority of the audience has probably already heard it, but here's a little 70s for a change up. Not only does it have the awesome guitar and good beat, but it also has some excellent rap throughout by RUN-DMC. This song was released back in 1976 and reached the top 10 from their album Toys in the Attic. It's music video also did very well on the charts being well inside the top 25 on 4/5 charts it's listed on. I hadn't seen the video up until a few minutes ago and it is definitely worth watching. Here is the link the Wiki because I'd love to share how well it did, but I don't want to make a huge list for those who don't necessarily want to read it all. Rock out this morning and happy listening!
