For music lovers, listeners, or simply people who don’t like silence in the workplace, weeks come and go as do the songs that get you through them. Now, to the people that throw on KROQ and zone out for 8 hours, this insight may not be for you, but for those of us who actually rely on certain songs to drag us through those treacherous weeks, you can relate.
The psychological premise of this post, though very shallow in its nature, aims to re-affirm the general consensus that our lives are like a soundtrack. Certain songs engulf our current state of mind or emotion and when played simultaneously, even heighten those feelings. Certain songs stick to our brains like peanut-butter and we cannot seem to shake ‘em. Finally, some songs are just so fresh and so excellent, you can’t seem to stop replaying them. The following five songs are my weekly addictions that I wanted to share with eager ears:
Mat McHugh is the lead singer for The Beautiful Girls, a stellar Aussie trio. He released his first solo album Seperatista! which came out in late 2008. Buy the album here!
I think this East LA band sounds great as a result of studio production, but live, they are going to need some serious development. Either way, this song is a jam. Myspace!
B-B-Bonus Jam (Train am I cool enough for that?)
Actually, my dog Duke died this week and its been pretty rough. I know he is at peace now chasing squirrels in doggy heaven. This song is for him because Bob was his favorite. After 16 years, I’m pretty sure I know what type of music my dog liked.

let’s chat about something that has happened here in NC. Bombadil happened. (label mates of Muffin Fav Avett Brother’s - formally of Ramseur Records). They have a new album coming out JULY 7 called Tarpits and Canyonlands and bottom line, go buy it.
This band has a zany appeal that stretches out past a folklore that harkens back to regional roots, its reach is a little further into a new sound that I won’t dare put my finger on with any adjectives. I can’t find any that are suitable. Just take my word that its an original sound and evokes a feeling…….. a feeling that makes my heart happy, like I’ve learned a few good lessons, had a laugh or two and maybe reflected on what the future has to hold for my big Bombadil soul. The whole album long….. Here’s a few highlights. I’ve started with my absolute favavavavvvvvvvvorite…
Reasons - I admit that the first time I heard I heard it….. it accompanied a little Bombadil marriage fantasy…. their vows to me…
But there are 15 tracks y’all and they are all a beautiful journey that I think you should take.
Never more than now does this band need you to support them with the purchase of their album. Bandmate Daniel suffers from arthritis and subsequently they had to cancel any touring for an indefinite amount of time. We wish him a speedy recovery and wait with baited breath that this band can continue to evolve and create beautiful music.

…you know we likes to party. It’s been a hot minute since I posted some new hip-hop jams on the Muffin so I took a looksi at my iTunes library to see what songs have been racking up the play counts lately. After sorting through a few duds I’m proud to present the top five neck-snappers that have been blasting through my speakers for the last few weeks - don’t sweat the technique.
When we post a song here at the muffin we hope that the music will reach a wider audience than it did before we posted it. If you are an artist featured on this website and have a problem with the world hearing your amazing music please send an email to frank@audiomuffin.com and we will take it down ASAP.
Our mp3 files are only available for a limited time.
If you are an artist looking to make the muffin, send all inquiries to authors@audiomuffin.com.
