But it's not, so good evening friends. Did you enjoy that Steelers' win? I sure did. I wish I could say the same about the Pirates. I get to see them play the Brewers on Tuesday night, but at this point, I'd trade the tickets for a dime-bag of mixed salad greens, a box of toothpicks, and a broken-down shoebox.
No, seriously. I'm taking offers.
This week's songs feature an array of genres (as always), but with a similar, familiar sound: whistling.
1. "Young Folks" by Peter Bjorn and John. I heard this song years ago, around the same time I loved "Galvanize" by The Chemical Brothers and Green Day's version of "Working Class Hero." I will never stop whistling along, that's for sure. Peter Moren's vocals are like Brian Aubert's from Silversun Pickups: strange, but emotionally sensational.
2. "Home" by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. Going to see one of their shows has to be similar to watching a gang of hardcore hippies dance around a fire. Now give those hippies an acoustic guitar, a woman with one hell of a voice, and the ability to whistle; I bet they'll play this song. "Home is wherever I'm with you."
3. "Black Mr. Rogers" by Zeale. Fred Rogers was born in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. Zeale was in Pittsburgh on Thursday with Awolnation. Any connection? I don't think so. With that being said, @zeale (Twitter shout-out) spits his finest Texas verses over repeated whistles. He even throws in a JFK reference. What's not to love?
