Song of the Day #426 - now let me sleep my blues away

I had a hell of a time picking which song from her awesome EP I wanted to feature on here, but this is the one I heard most recently, so it wins.  This girl can sing.

ps - how was this not on the great gatsby soundtrack?

Absolutely no idea why or how this song popped in my head today, but it did.  A (random) oldie, but defeinitely a goodie.

Song of the Day #422 - i've got such a view

Man, these guys couldn't look more Brooklyn-indie-rock-hipster-cliche, but all is forgiven, as they have composed one of my absolute favorite songs of the year.  Harmonies, synth, and retro beats abound.

The Ceremonies - Land of Gathering

ps - dodgeball champion.

Song of the Day #421 - i heard her sing me a song

Everything I hear from The 88 is nothing short of consistent...they always put out really solid tunes.  And man, this is a good one....with a great video, to boot.

ps - sooo close to nfl season...i'm having trouble containing myself.

Song of the Day #416 - you could've been a good friend of mine

It feels like no one really paid much attention to the 2nd Ting Tings album.  Sadly, I can't really hate on that ...it's been a while since I listened to it, but it didn't leave too much of an impression...   Regardless, this one is a gem.

The Ting Tings - Day to Day

ps - maybe i'll give it another go
