Here is a new section to Five Oclock Jock dealing with what music I am listening to at the moment and sometimes we'll bring in other DJ's here at the station to tell us what's currently on their favorites list. Some of it you can hear on K98, but not always. Let's get started!
OWL CITY: Ocean Eyes
Spinning right now in the CD Player and on my iPod is Owl City. Everything about this CD is fresh, crisp, and refreshing. I would classify it as pop techno, but not the booty shakin' grind music you might hear in a club. Almost all the tracks have a positive, uplifting feel to them. You would almost think you could take flight after making it all the way through the album.
Favorite Tracks:
1. Cave In: A strong catchy start to the album is all I can say, I just really like this song.
3. Hello Seattle: A tip of the hat to the northwest with some great imagery and music that makes me smile.
6. Dental Care: This is a fun song and he really turns some phrases lyrically in this song that are really impressive and creative, though that isn't rare for the CD overall.
7. Meteor Shower: Wow! The shortest song on the album, but emotionally one of the largest. It shouts hope in the few lyrics that are sung and just engulfs me in wonder. (not meaning to get to poetic about it) Some pretty Biblical concepts really stand out in this song.
9. Fireflies: How can you not like this song?
10. The Tip of the Iceberg: Epic and Fun
11. Vanilla Twilight: Laid back, sweet, and sad
12. Tidal Wave: Its a hopeful song and I am always a fan of that.
So, I am pretty much a fan of the whole CD. Check out Owl City: Ocean Eyes and I think if it winds up in your stereo or iPod its gonna get well worn.
