Little Lion Man

The Cranberries - Zombie

This song has made me fall in love with the Cranberries and even more so when I watched the music video. The video is so artsy and has that great 90s feel to it as it fit perfectly with the lyrics as they talk about the effects of war.

Dirty Projectors - Stillness is the Move

With a catchy sound and an interesting music video, an open mind can let you see the potential for this song.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Parlour Steps

Temper Trap

This is an amazing song which you've might of heard in the movie 500 Days of Summer.

OK GO!

This band has more than enough charisma, a great sound, and fantastic music videos. OK GO! are on the top of my, 'I don't know how to say this, but I want to be your best friend,' list, and I know they'll be on yours once you watch their videos.

Dear Jack

Dear Jack opens on the day Andrew McMahon is diagnosed with Leukemia and continues on through the life-changing and intensely personal events that follow. The film also includes flashes back to Andrew’s childhood, the making of the Jack’s Mannequin album and his collaboration with Tommy Lee, as well as rare live footage and the chronicling of his relationships with two very important people in his life, his sister and her best friend. Dear Jack is a raw look at the battle that is Leukemia and the hope that can be found in hard places.

Unfortunately they are already sold out of DVDs and you can now only buy it on iTunes in the States. So I am still waiting for it to come to Canada.

Andrew McMahon is a friend of mine.

Andrew McMahon is the definition of passion. As the lead singer, pianist, and song writer to the current band, Jack's Mannequin, and the former boy band, Something Corporate, I have been passionate about his music and amazed by his talent for the past two years. With the influence of surviving leukemia five years ago, his lyrics are raw and real, and more than quotable. You can hear his soul within the chords and see it when he plays on top of his piano. For anyone who wants a change from the radio music, Jack's Mannequin is the way to go.
