"The Rules" - Ben Kweller
Artist: Ben Kweller
Album: Changing Horses
Released: February 2, 2009
Home Town: Greenville, Tx
Why is it on here?: I don't really like country music anymore, especially today's mainstream country music, its awful. I don't care what anyone says, Taylor Swift is not country music. Rascal Flatts is not country music and the clothes they wear, MIGHT have been cool 5 years ago.
I do though like REAL country music, maybe you call it Texas Country or maybe I just like the old stuff - Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, older George Strait stuff. You know what I mean. Thats why I really like the new Ben Kweller record "Changing Horses". It's got an obvious old country/western influence and I love how he incorporates the steel harp here. I'm not saying its "PURE" country - no Dusty Chandler jokes please - but it is a lot closer than some of the stuff thats passed off as country nowadays.

"Slob" - Weezer
Band: Weezer
Album: Maladroit
Released: May 14, 2002
Home Town: Los Angeles, CA
Why is it on here?: This is probably my favorite non-Blue, non-Pinkerton Weezer song. Great hook and some sick guitar riffs. I hope these guys keep making music until they are 60.

"In the Sun" - She & Him
Band: She & Him
Album: Volume 2
Released: March 23, 2010
Home Town: Portland, OR
Why is it on here?: Other than the fact that I am the founder of the Zooey Deschanel fan club....this is the first single off of She & Him's 2nd album that was released earlier this week. She & Him has an alt-country type sound that takes me back to 1940s country. "She" is Zooey Deschanel - actress you may recognize from movies like Elf and 500 days of Summer. "Him" is...well...who cares.
