Favorites - Week of April 25, 2011

A lot of great music this past weeks and plenty of awesome albums due out in May. These are some songs I've had on repeat all week.

5. "Sail" by Awolnation
This song is infectious and I love it. Fearless Fred of 102.1 The Edge thinks it sounds like the Last of the Mohicans soundtrack, but you can decide for yourself.

4. "White Limo" by the Foo Fighters
This and the number one song have been on my favorites list for several weeks now, except for last week when I shared some old favourites.

3. "Fragile Bird" by City and Colour
The first single off Dallas Green's third solo effort, Little Hell (available June 7), is a little more rock than past City and Colour albums. The song is great and sounds almost as if you were in the studio listening to him play it live and raw.

2. "Make Some Noise" by Beastie Boys
The Beastie Boys album is one of the big albums out in May and you can listen to more than "Make Some Noise" under this post. In fact, the entire album is streaming below! Oh, and this week we actually have the "Make Some Noise" video (P.S. in the boys usual style it's awesome and hilarious)!

1. "N/A OK" by Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker
Maybe not on everyone's list of big albums coming out, but it is on mine and I'm super excited for its release.
