Music Monday - Macklemore and Ryan Lewis



By now I'm sure most of you if not all of you have heard Macklemore and Ryan Lewis's song "Thrift Shop," which has been hitting the airwaves non-stop since they released it back in August. As catchy as it is, its not the duo's only hit, and I deeply encourage you to check out their music. Two of my other favorites include "Same Love" and "Can't Hold Us," which are part of their album "Heist."

Back in December Macklemore and Ryan Lewis teamed up with NPR to be part of their Tiny Desk concert series. To be totally honest I only discovered this yesterday thanks to the musical musings of a new friend, and I have to tell you I was seriously impressed with how well Macklemore performs live. The three songs I happened to mention above are the three they perform, taking viewers from deeply meaningful to laugh out loud lyrics to motivation to just keep the party going, and that's whats so great about their music - it makes you want to pay attention while wanting to lose yourself in it at the same time. When music is on, the world is off. Take a listen to their Tiny Desk Concert here and see for yourself.

Cheers! The Aristochic
