The Weepies are an American band that could be described as indie-pop or folk-pop. The two members, Steve Tannen and Deb Talan, both began their careers as solo sing-songwriters and met during one of Tannen's shows in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The pair quickly discovered their musical chemistry and began playing together. Soon after they realized that chemistry extended to more than just music and Steve and Deb were eventually married. They now reside in California with their son. The Weepies career has experienced a lot of success. Their work has been featured in a list of TV shows including; Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, Scrubs, The Riches, How I Met Your Mother, and Greek. Not to mention a performance on Dirty Sexy Money. They have also been a part of a JC Penny and Old Navy commercial, Sex and the City 2, and one of Barack Obama's presidential campaign ads. There's no doubt this group has been busy.
What do they sound like?
The Weepies is one big give and take relationship. Steve and Deb switch off lead and backing vocals while they match subtle acoustic guitar with caressing electric leads. Their past albums have had more of a feeling of longing and a little bit of frustration. This was no doubt due to the couple's attempts to get pregnant. Their new album Be My Thrillwhich was released this past August is a whole different story. This album is a bit more chipper with obvious contentment in their family life with their son. Their tunes now have a sunnier but still gentle, wistful appeal. I could compare them to a more upbeat Ray Lamontagne or William Fitzsimmons. A lot of sweetness and sugary melodies.

Have you heard the song "Rumble and Sway" yet on Triple M?
The singer sounds like a raspy blues dude who's definitely been around the block a few times....but surprisingly, Jamie N. Commons is only 23 years old!
He was born in England, but...
Last week, I decided I would try one new, healthy food a week, and asked my facebook friends to make some suggestions.
The first thing I tried was mango. I'm sure I've had other mango flavored things, and mango as part of something else, but...
There's only one thing that might be worse than the Neil Diamond/Barbra Streisand duet "You Don't Bring Me Flowers." And that's Jonathan Suttin doing his best crooning...doing both parts. Most unpleasant.
A lot of people liked this song...
Artist: Alchemilla
Hail From: Boston
Song: 'The Wheel'

Last weeks challenge we thought went excellent! Of course we are a little biased.
The drinking song couldn't have been any better, or any less fun. We had a blast through out the whole process, and our performance rocked.
This week is an easy...
So the story goes Michael Jackson completed this song while watching cartoons with Paul McCartney. We'll just let that sink in for a moment.
Not sure what cartoons they were watching, but it must have worked because this song made it to number 2...
The Dalai Lama is back in town, sharing his message of peace and kindness with likeminded individuals, and the Wisconsin legislature. He also held a private meeting with Gov. Walker, who said he mostly listened to what His Holiness had to say (wise...
This duet by Ol' Blue Eyes and his daughter went all the way to number 1 back in 1967. It seems a little creepy that Frank and Nancy Sinatra are singing a love song. However, a lot of Triple M listeners were in the mood for it.
