Upon thinking about which song to choose for today, I realized that I’m not a super-fan of a lot of bands out there. Most of the music I listen to comes from singer-songwriters. I like the occasional song from random bands, but I don’t know why I haven’t gotten into any groups as much. Hmm.
In any case, I’ve chosen the band from Massachusettes, Guster! I believe I first discovered them when the video for “One Man Wrecking Machine” was playing on muchmusic’s The Wedge program — which I thought was their program for “weird” videos/music, but the video isn’t that weird… — and after that, I wrote down the name of the band and proceeded to search them up after. Eventually, I discovered their amazing, super-catchy stuff and have fallen in love with them ever since.
It was a toss-up between “Careful” and “Keep it Together”, both from Keep It Together, which is one of my favourite albums of all time. There are so many good things about it that I can’t even begin to describe it… maybe I’ll attempt to do that a different day. Anyway, I went with “Careful” because 1. I couldn’t find a studio album version of it on youtube and 2. I feel like “Careful” is a good intro song for people who haven’t heard their music before.
Guster forever!
