Song of the Day #644 - nothing here to see

I kept not putting these guys on here because I thought I already head.  An idiot is me.  Best new legit rock band in a while.

Royal Blood - Figure It Out

ps - one week till cabo.

Song of the Day #643 - we shucking and jabbing and drinking and smoking and fussing and fighting

I hate linking crappy live recordings, but that's all I found here.  Check it out on spotify.

SomeKindaWonderful - Honeymoon

ps - bye bye ron and leslie and tom and andy and ben and jerry/larry/barry/terry and jamm and everyone else from pawnee

Song of the Day #642 - was it here? was it there? was it swirling around us in the atmosphere?

Speaking of passion (see: yesterday's post)...there's been two new Passion Pit songs released in the last week...I don't even know what to do with myself I'm so excited.  I think I'm liking this one better so far.

Passion Pit - Where The Sky Hangs

ps - has it really already been two and a half years since goassmer came out?

Song of the Day #641 - don't cross them lines

You can just feel the passion.

Alabama Shakes - Don't Wanna Fight

ps - finally an exciting walking dead this week

Song of the Day #640 - i'll start falling if you start falling

Tribute to the synth-pop of the 80s with some 90s sensibilities.

Memoryy - Feels Like the First Time

ps - this is the first time in a while my favorite movie of the year actually won best pic

Song of the Day #639 - there is no one in here but your body dear

I very much love when B&S get all sexy...

Belle & Sebastian - The Party Line

ps - summer's favorite band!

Song of the Day #638 - you do such damage, how do you manage?

Glad to have ya back, Flo.  We missed ya!

Florence and the Machine - What Kind of Man

ps - look like crab, talk like people

Song of the Day #637 - let me take a trip down to you

As Rob Thomas once said: "because you're so smooth".

Royal - Passenger

ps - trivia crack is pretty addicting.

Song of the Day #636 - it was bright, like a light, that you kept from your smile

Just another undeniably good folksy ballad that I probably would've hated 10 years ago, but now can't get enough of.

The Lone Bellow - Then Came the Morning

ps - sometimes i run, sometimes i hide

Song of the Day #635 - won't sing to your melody

I think there's a bright future ahead here...

Misterwives - Hurricane

ps - more sleep please.

Song of the Day #634 - time is standing still

Geez has this one been sitting around for a bit.

 BØRNS - 10,000 Emerald Pools

Song of the Day #633 - but it's what we have instead of god

So Sufjan-y.

San Fermin - Daedalus (What We Have)

ps - yes, i saw fitty.

Song of the Day #632 - how am i the lucky one?

I know critics and snobs hate Cold War Kids, but damn them...I think they can write a pretty good, sometimes great, piano-driven rock song.  Yes, they can also write some garbage...but this one's not garbage.  Clap those hands!

Cold War Kids - First

ps - sundays are so much better when there's no work on monday

Song of the Day #631 - what are you waiting for?

Ellie is my valentine.

Just wait for the grunts.

Perfume Genius - Queen

ps - did i mention the pats won the super bowl?  still gloating.

Song of the Day #629 - you've got that soul, wise beyond your years

Love this track. Hate the commercial.

Ed Harcourt - The Way That I Live

ps - pats won the super bowl. didn't get to boast on here when it happened. yay.

Song of the Day #628 - no goodbyes, no goodbyes

Probably his most low-key track to date....but for me, Kanye and that damn auto-tune equal great success.  809's and Heartbreak, please?

Kanye West - Only One (feat. Paul McCartney)

ps - if i wasn't so lazy, this and the next several songs would've been up here weeks ago.  i'm getting back on this train...no more 3 week lulls.  maybe.
