A musical enlightening!

So today I discovered the gloriousness of the music group known as Mute Math. I've known about these guys for a while, thanks to Kess and Carey, having them tell me, "I think you would really like these guys." It's not that I doubted them, I was just caught up listening to something else at the time. (And what does that really mean anyway? Have I, a fan of all types of music, put myself in a place where someone hears a song, and thinks, ""his is an Andy song"? Interesting. What music might someone label you as "really enjoying"?) However, I was blatantly reminded of this group after watching a few DVR'd episodes of The Deadliest Catch on the Discovery Channel (which is possibly THE best television channel on television, in my opinion, totally different topic though). The hit single, Typical, is played over a montage of clips from new episodes of old shows, Dirty Jobs, Man vs. Wild, Mythbusters, etc., along with clips of new "Alaska Week" shows. Not only does the song hook you in, but the clips are stunning in all their HD glory. Which leads me to think that being the guy that gets to put music to things like that and in movies might be a really fun job to have, all the while, being an extremely difficult job when you think about how many songs there truly are to choose from. Anyway, back to Mute Math. I listened through their self-titled album today while repairing some motherboards. If you haven't heard any of their songs, I would highly/strongly encourage you to download "Typical," "Chaos," or "Control." With a new CD being released later this year, I begin to grow quite excited about the potential for some really great new music coming in the very near future:
Brit-rock sounding Telecast releases a new album in 4 days, their first in nearly four or five years. Of course, Coldplay's Viva la Vida: or Death and All His Friends releases this June, along with another Third Day record, of which "Call My Name" is the first release and while Mac's voice sounds the same (no problem with that at all!), I can't help but feel that the music is something I haven't heard from them in a while. I'll be excited to hear the rest of the album. New to the music scene, Tenth Avenue North is a new group that I think has some potential, though the single, "Love Is Here", currently on Christian radio definitely has Hillsong United qualities to it. (Though there's nothing wrong with that in particular, hopefully they will define their own sound on the rest of the album). Speaking of Christian music, Chris Sligh, American Idol hopefully of maybe last year(?), is releasing an album in May. His first single, "Empty Me" is a beautiful song about one's struggle with the vain things in life and how easy it is for those things to fill our heart's desires pushing our desire for God right out the door. The other group I hope to check out, Sleeping at Last, is another Carey Jones suggestion, and I have to say, if it's another group, like Mute Math, that he feels "Andy will like," I'll be very excited to listen to.
