Song of the Day: "Mother We Just Can't Get Enough" by New Radicals

>> Friday, August 31, 2012

So, I'm back, and I'm serious this time. It took me forever to find the right song to state how it feels to rejoin the blogging world, so I just decided to say fuck it and go with a song with my favorite opening line of all time. "Make my nipples hard. Let's go!"

"Mother We Just Can't Get Enough" by New Radicals


As a special little inside glimpse of Addi, know that this track is taken from my second favorite album of all time. Now you know.

Song of the Day: "Daydreaming" by Tess Henley

>> Tuesday, August 21, 2012

Guess who's back bitches?! I'm sorry, that's rude. But I'm damn excited, I finally got the olly olly oxen free from the doctor to remove my stupid wrist brace and return to my normal, blog lovin life.

With that. I am excited to share with you a fantastic little diddy from the overly talented Henley family.

I had the hardest time not posting this one handed in last two weeks, but one handed does not do Tess Henely justice. And I just realized how wrong that sounds. Not gonna change it. This song was sent over by my favorite artists rep who has yet let me down with the sounds she shares.

Tess is working hard and finishing up her new album, and if this song is at all representative of whats to come, it should skyrocket her into stardom. The soundscape is perfectly set up for her right now, and I have little doubt that she will make her mark. Soon, Carson and Tess will take over the world, soul by soul.

The 30 Day Song Challenge continues onto day 3. Song That Makes You Happy.

There is not another song, especially this version from ThisCityRocks, that puts a bigger smile on my face. 1 because I was there for this show, and 2, because, just fucking listen.

Yeah, I didn't give up on this one yet. Here is day 2 of the 30 day song challenge, Your Least Favorite Song.
This one was hard as I avoid listening to crap, but once I really cleared my mind and asked myself "self, what sucks the hardest?" it was easy. It's this crap.

30 Day Song Challenge: Day 1: Your Favorite Song(s)

>> Thursday, July 12, 2012

So, on my personal Facebook account, I have just started the 30 Day Song Challenge, and I thought it would be fun to share the daily activities here as well. Not to mention a cheap and easy way to do songs of the day.
So, Day 1 is Your favorite song. Knowing me, I could not pick one. At first, I couldn't pick 4, but, after lots of thinking and hemming and hawing, I got it down to two songs and called it good.

And away we go....

Day 1. Song 1A.
"Need Your Love So Bad" by Little Willie John


Day 1. Song 1B
"Creep" (Acoustic) by Radiohead

Song of the Day: "Stones" by Lynx

>> Sunday, July 8, 2012

On a rare occasion, I outsource my creativity.
I do not do this often, mainly, because I rock. But everynowandthen, I realize that a fresh pair may share something I never would have found.
A few days ago, I asked a new friend of mine, (I will call her NayNay for now, since I didn't get her permission to use her real name) if she could help me pick out the weekend edition Song of the Day. She is one of our favorite readers, and we have chatted music here and there, so I know a couple things. Her tastes do not suck, and she knows what we do around here. So, I was confident she would not let me down. And, guess what, she exceeded all my expectations, and kinda blew me away.
It is very uncommon for someone to be all like "hey, you should listen to this band, you would like them" and actually provide me with someone I haven't heard of. Yet alone two. It is exceedingly unheard of for me to actually like what they shared. Well, that is what happened here. NayNay brought me a selection of 4 songs, 3 of which I loved, and 2 of those 3 were from bands I had never even heard of, 1 of those 2 is shared below. Yeah. That just happened.

Two things about this song/video. One, it's beautifully shot/filmed. Two, the song just gets into you. It makes you crave more. I know I do.

Song of the Day: "I Can Lift A Car" by Walk The Moon

>> Friday, July 6, 2012

So, here it is, the song you have all been dying to hear. Only, you didn't quite know it yet. Walk The Moon is a band that I first kinda liked back in 2010 when they released their debut full length "I Want! I Want!" but I couldn't say that I felt they were on totally solid ground. The album as a whole was good, but not great. However, with their 2012 self-titled release, they have finally found their footing. This album, from beginning to end is borderline grand, and nearly spectacular. And that's underselling it.

The band undertook a project called the 7in7.On their own, with no budget, no label support, they made 7 videos, in 7 days for 7 songs. This video is not the best, but it is my favorite song of the bunch.
