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!"
