SONG OF THE DAY: Massive Attack — “Teardrop”
Heard this song on 89.3 the current–my home state radio station ya’ll should check it out–while I was driving and it seemed to fit the mood of my day. Hope you enjoy!
SONG OF THE DAY: RUN-DMC — “Christmas in Hollis”
I’d love to be more secular, but it’s hard to ignore RUN-DMC around Christmas because of this song. Face it, this song is a classic.
SONG OF THE DAY: Sallie Ford & The Sound Outside – Danger
This band is from Portland Oregon and has a sound that is infused with jazz and blues influences but still carries a really modern feel. Sallie Ford’s voice is reminiscent of old icons like Etta James, not for everyone, but I find it refreshing and raw as compared to the sweet sounding indie babes of late.
SONG OF THE DAY: LCD Soundsystem — “All My Friends”
This song is one of those ones that once I start listening to I just can’t stop–there is just something so truthful about the lyrics (not to mention its fantastic to run to).
UPCOMING SHOW AND SONG OF THE DAY: Macklemore and Ryan Lewis — “Otherside Remix”
Macklemore is playing in Denver this Friday, the only problem is that the show is sold out already. For those of you who don’t have tickets, you can spend your Friday night watching this video. It’s a remix of “Otherside”, featuring Fences.
SONG OF THE DAY: Fleet Foxes — “The Shrine / An Argument”
This is a masterly song in itself, but the video is beyond wowza and features mask-wearing tribesmen, sentimental kudus and ginormous saxophone-schreeching eels.
SONG OF THE DAY: Deer Tick — “Main Street”
This is a new song from Deer Tick released last week. You know the video is going to be good when they release two versions of it, one of which has UNCENSORED in the title. This picture is a screenshot from the video to give you a feel. Lots of explosions and things breaking, so check it out.
