Maddy Mahon: "I love it" by Icona pop
Kryssy Pease: Rhett Miller: "Out Of Love"
I've been a huge fan of him (and his band The Old 97s) for a long time and was thrilled when I got to meet him this spring when he played at Wits. His latest album came out in June and he'll be here in October on tour.
Of Monsters and Men "Little Talks" is just a super fun song.
Alex DiPalma: Twin Shadow - Patient
Chromatics - Lady
Frank Ocean - Pyramids
Emily Kaiser: Beach House's new album, "Bloom"
And can't get Lumineers' "Ho Hey" out of my head.
Anna Pickrell: I've been listening to "Angels" by The XX a lot since it came out in July. But "The Only Place" by Best Coast is a little more summery.
Eric Ringham: "Rocky Ground" by Bruce Springsteen
Meggan Ellingboe: Luckily, I get to listen to a lot of music and make playlists as a yoga and yoga sculpt instructor. These ones have been fun to incorporate this summer.
Hot Chip- "In Our Heads" album
Beach House- "Lazuli"
Flo Rider - "Wild Ones"
