Mix-Tape Monday: September 24, 2012

My five favorite songs of the week, according to my iPhone:

Dance My Pain Away – Wye Oak (I rediscovered this jam while watching So You Think You Can Dance. BALTIMORE REPRESENT!)

Laundry Room – The Avett Brothers (One of my favorite’s from last night’s concert at Pier Six.)

Black Betty – Ram Jam (My go-to running song of choice these days.)

Kick Drum Heart – The Avett Brothers (Always a crowd pleaser… and other of my favorites from last night’s concert. Run, don’t walk, to your nearest Avett Brothers Show. HOT DAMN!)

Sundress – Ben Kweller (Lately, this has been my alarm-clock song. It’s what I wake up to.)

But something tells me next week’s top five are going to be all Blitzen Trapper, all the time. How about you?

Carry On – fun. (acoustic version, just for fun)
