As the music reporter, it’s my duty not only to share music news and happenings in the area, but I ought to share some music I love, too.
I’ve been a big fan of the songwriting of Jamie Woolford (@Woolford on Twitter) since one of my college buddies (and now a successful television writer) first made me a mix CD with Woolford’s old band The Stereo. These days Woolford is a super producer these days and is finishing up his new solo record and although The Stereo has been over for years, the songs are still among my favorites.
Here’s The Stereo’s “Devotion,” a power pop gem that makes me roll the windows down and sing along at the top of my lungs.
Another song that made me smile today is Hall and Oates’ “You Make My Dreams Come True.” I love the synth line, I love the goofiness of this video, I love John Oates’ mustache. Also, one of my favorite things a reader has ever made me is this amazing image with my saying “Go for the Hall, Stay for the Oates.” Thanks to Ralph Torres of The Sedans for that. Now, let’s dance.
