never never never never never never be

Today's Recommended Listening: Beast of Burden - Rolling Stones
The rolling stones are a cultural landmark in America in
that they will never die. Our children's children's children
will still be able to see Mick Jagger perform live.

If you're fond of sand dunes and salty air,

Today's Recommended Listening: At the River - Groove Armada
I honestly couldn't decide between the live and studio version.
Heads: Feature the Studio version
Tails: You get a link to the live version.

Maybe it would help if I filed things alphabetically...

Today's Recommended Listening: The 10th Sense - Athome Project
I've been on an electronica kick lately.
Royksopp, Massive Attack, fever ray, ladytron, daft punk, justice, zero 7, blah blah blah
I found this song, and many others, through last.fm.
But this song stands out as my favorite.
Plus the 'Sim City 2000'-esque keyboard synthesizer really takes me back. Ya know?
Anyway, this song was not easy to find. I looked EVERYWHERE,
I am a professional Googler, if I can't find it, it doesn't exist.*
Frustrated, I tracked down the artist.
Athome Project is Stian Jacobsen from Stord, an island outside Bergen in Norway.
I contacted him without leaving my overstuffed armchair. Isn't the internet awesome?
You may never enjoy this song as much as I do, but
if you have a favorite band, take a minute to thank them,
send them an email or just post on their wall.
Let them know how much you enjoy their music.
It is awesome when they respond back to you personally.
Also, you never know when they'll send you a link to
download a previously unreleased track for free.

The people thought that they were just being rewarded

Today's Recommended Listening: Sleeping In - The Postal Service
Certainly there are better postal service songs, but
since it hit 70 degrees today, it seemed oddly appropriate.

So If you're lonely

Today's Recommended Listening: Take Me Out - Franz Ferdinand
You: "I already know this song!"
Me: "Me too, ain't it great? Shut up and leave a comment!"

Crop Circles on the Carpet

Today's Recommended Listening: Hide and Seek - Imogen Heap
Now for a minor note. This song is haunting.
It's all in the effect that she uses.
Of course the lyrical mastery is also... well.. what did she say?



Anyone who is a regular to this blog knows that I'm a fan of Scrubs.
So see if you see what I saw at the beginning of this live version that
really made me say: WTF MATE? If you do a little research about him,
you'll understand why he's there.

The crowd will only like me if they're really bleepin drunk.

Today's Recommended Listening: In One Ear - Cage the Elephant.
Here is a band that did everything Bass Ackwards.
They hail from Bowling Green Kentucy, but their success blew up in England.
Go Figure.

How can you say forever is at your command?

Today's Recommended Listening: Palm of Your Hand - CAKE
This is one of my favorite bands.
Certainly one of my favorite Ska bands.
I like how he sings as if he is only talking.
He has his own awkward rhythm that you won't find anywhere else.

What? It's not working?
Here's a classic example of YouTube being stupid.
This video worked 3 days ago,
now ALLOFASUDDEN it is banned content?
Bullcrap youtube. Now I'm mad.
So not only did I find somewhere else to host this song,
but I'm also giving you a link to download it if you wish.
Enjoy!

Hardly a rare song, but it never get's old. Yeah!

Strum Strum Smack Strum

Today's Recommended Listening:
Porch Swing - Trace Bundy
off his album 'Adapt'.
I mention it because this is one of those rare albums where
every song is five stars. I highly recommend it if you can find it!

See if you can figure out what they're saying...

Today's Recommended Listening:
So Easy - Röyksopp
This song is a personal favorite.

I Never Had To Knock on Wood

The Impression That I Get - The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
This one should take you back.
I love this song, it never gets old.

I like it so much in fact, that I'm giving you a double dose of the Bosstones today!

It's pronounced boo - chur

Changes - Butterfly Boucher feat. David Bowie
It's pronounced boo - chur, she's from Australia, not France.
Also, this song may be on Shrek or something.
