Playlist update

So for those who have been following along for the past couple years, I like to give an update on my playlist of the moment every now and again. This time around, I'm going to focus on artists rather than just songs. It's nothing special really, but I've found that music tends to play a rather large role in my life these days...especially as a commuter.

I don't like people, so headphones help me avoid them at all costs :). Ok, so that's not entirely true, but I do like to chill out to music on my way in and out of the city.

Here's what's tickled my fancy lately.

1. Collective Soul - Something told me to download one of their albums a couple weeks back and I've been hooked ever since. Run has been on the top of my playlist but I like pretty much everything of theirs. It's motivating and soothing all at the same time.

2. Angels & Airwaves - These guys have been a staple in my iPod since 2008. There's no wearing these songs out.

3. Theory of a Deadman - These guys came into my life via Pandora. Believe it or not, it was a Boston station, and so I downloaded their latest album and have started peppering songs into my playlists. Their music is real. I like that.

4. Owl City - Though I have to be in the right mood for Owl City, I still find that turning 'em up during a hectic work day can really help me get the productive juices flowing, so to speak.

5. Boston - From #3 above you probably already guessed this was coming, but I've usually got a good classic rock band on hand...right now it's all about Boston. There's something about closing your eyes and just listening to the sounds. Feelin' Satisfied is a great starter song for that practice.

6. Sick Puppies - Like Theory of a Deadman, their music is very real.

7. Sublime - just because it's fun.

8. 30 Seconds to Mars - This is one of those bands that I've found people either love or hate. I used to be undecided, but they have a good sound and I find that I'm rather drawn to it. So, rock on Jared Leto.

So tell me dear readers, what bands are on your playlist right now?

Cheers!
