Today’s tune comes from Dutch band Bettie Serveert. “Brother (in Loins)” appears on the band’s 2016 album, Damaged Good. The band recently released a music video to accompany “Brother” and I love its 1980s feel. The […]

Tuesday Tunes – “Black Sun” by Death Cab for Cutie
Today’s tune is one of my favorites from Death Cab for Cutie’s 2015 album, Kintsugi. The Japanese term “kintsugi” translates to “golden joinery” or “golden repair,” which is the art of repairing a broken piece of […]
Tuesday Tunes – “Nerds in Love” by Fergus Brown
Vinyl. Lou Reed. Mechanic shirts. Black-rimmed glasses. Sounds like a teenager in the 1990s… or a 2010s hipster. Fergus Brown pokes fun at the hipster subculture in his song, “Nerds in Love,” referencing all of those things […]
Tuesday Tunes – “11 Miles” by Songs of Water
Do you believe in soulmates? The gorgeous music video for “11 Miles,” directed by Ben Stamper, explores this idea using the “red string of fate” concept. The red string of fate is a belief originating from a […]
Tuesday Tunes – “Familiar” by Dru Cutler
The television and film industries have seen plenty of remakes and reboots these last few years, with even more rumored to happen. Please make it stop. The same is true for the music industry, namely, band reunions. It’s rumored that Oasis may reunite and even Chris Cornell has said that an Audioslave reunion isn’t out of the question.

Put on your rose-colored glasses (or take them off) because today’s tune explores that concept.
Tuesday Tunes – “There Is No Hourglass, Only Sand” by Builder of the House
Weather-wise, not much has changed since last week’s Tuesday Tunes post. In fact, I’m not sure it ever truly stopped raining. This weather doesn’t bother me too much, but I can tell it’s starting to wear on some people around me. For this week’s song, I figured if we can’t get sunshine outside, we can at least get some in this music video – literally.
Tuesday Tunes – “SMS [Shine]” by David Crowder Band
This week, I’m busy with writing assignments, getting over a cold (fun!), and rehearsing for a vocal recital so today’s post will be a little shorter. SMS [Shine] is an inspirational song from the David Crowder Band with an amazing music video made with a Lite Brite. I wasn’t one of the cool kids who got to own a Lite Brite so I used to watch the commercials with wonder and amazement. Even as an adult, I watch this music video with that same sense of wonder. It’s so amazing to see how the band turned a children’s toy into a brilliant storytelling tool. Fair warning, the video might will make you cry.
