Song of the Day #95 - love is my wine and you can drink it 'till you're drunk

This one dates back to when I was a freshman or sophomore in college.  Really fun, though possibly a skosh overlong.  I couldn't find a video on youtube other than a crappy live version, so for now, just listen to it on this nifty little grooveshark player.

Rustic Overtones - Simple Song

ps - don't come to LA, obama...i don't want to do deal with the unnecessary traffic misery you create.

Song of the Day #94 - i am so ashamed

This one comes up a lot on my slacker radio and I'm always really liking it, but never remembering who it is.  Well, this one's for posterity...

A Silent Film - You Will Leave a Mark

ps - california chicken cafe seriously has the best chinese chicken salad

Song of the Day #93 - this ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

Has anyone ever seen these guys and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes in the same room at the same time?...

Of Monsters and Men - Little Talks

ps - finally watched the season 5 premiere of friday night lights.  coach taylor is my hero.

Song of the Day #92 - do you know what you're fighting for?

Janelle Monae should've been a song of the day ages ago.  She should also be so much bigger than she is.  The ArchAndroid was easily one of the best albums of 2010, yet I feel like no one but the music blogs listened to it.  Check it out!

Janelle Monae - Cold War

ps - watched the last hour of kanye's set at coachella on youtube....wow.

Song of the Day #91 - i say she's too dramatic

If you don't enjoy Chromeo, you're clearly a terrorist...

Chromeo - Night by Night

ps - another coachella shout out...

Song of the Day #90 - even on a cloudy day

If I were at Coachella, I wouldn't mind seeing these guys today...

Cage the Elephant - Shake Me Down

ps - i just took a look back at the lineup for this year, and this marks the 12th coachella 2011 band to grace the posts of the FA song of the day... i want to go to there...

Song of the Day #89 - we are the underground

The dudes responsible for the great theme song ('C'mon C'mon') to the often great show Rescue Me (which will soon have its final season) have other songs!  This is one of them and it's pretty great.

The Von Bondies - This is Our Perfect Crime

ps - angela WAS the boss (yay, community)

Song of the Day #88 - come the archers, come the infantry

The Decemberists rarely disappoint.

The Decemberists - This is Why We Fight

ps - i really need to get to bed before 130am on weeknights...

Song of the Day #87 - got balls of steel, got an automobile, for a minimum wage

From my favorite movie of 2010...

Metric - Black Sheep

ps - if you haven't, SEE THIS MOVIE!

Song of the Day #86 - hush, hush, settle down, button up, don't make a sound

I'm so sorry...I've gotta go Foo again.  The new album comes out today, and I'm loving it more with each listen.  Almost went with Bridge Burning, and then almost went with Walk, but this one won out...can't really explain why...

Foo Fighters - Arlandria

ps - don't be surprised if the majority of songs on this album pop up here over the course of the next month.

Song of the Day #85 - so don’t make me take off my stunners

I know B.O.B. gets a bad rap for being a bit too glossy and overproduced..too poppy, if you will...but I think a lot of his stuff is pretty fun.  This is definitely my favorite off The Adventures of Bobby Ray - elevated by the always great, Lupe Fiasco.

B.O.B. - Past My Shades (feat. Lupe Fiasco)

ps - i just bought some new shades, myself.

Song of the Day #84 - it's insane how it feels

After 69 straight days of posts (and no, that number was not intentional), I finally missed a day.  Sad.  So here's some Kenna to make up for it.

Kenna - Out of Control (State of Emotion)

ps - i went to the horsetrack yesterday. 

Song of the Day #83 - and i really love breaking your heart

Just heard Nicki Minaj's song that samples this.  Not too bad...I can get behind some Nicki.  But I still prefer the original.

The Big Pink - Dominos

ps - got me some tv on the radio tickets!

Song of the Day #82 - no psycho killer, hooligan guerilla

I joined the Blur bandwagon way after they even ceased to be a band. And I regret it immensely.  So many great songs...you would do well for yourself to peruse that back-catalog if you're ignorant like I was.

Blur - On Your Own

ps - at least that's what i think the lyrics are...

Song of the Day #81 - we don't care if the sun comes up

Even without Chiddy I believe this is what the kids would call a "club-banger".

The Knocks - Dancing With the DJ (Chiddy Bang Remix)

ps - i think my body is mad at me for no cheese since lent started.

Song of the Day #80 - never mind what anyone else does

Another that's been waiting in the wings for its time to shine...

Yeasayer - Ambling Alp

ps - i still need to watch the killing on amc

Song of the Day #79 - and the boy can dance

Of the numerous "raw indie-ish" British bands that arose after the explosion of the Arctic Monkeys, I think these guys are one of the better ones.  LOVE their 1st album, and though the their 2nd one was a bit of a step down, it gave us this gem...  I believe album #3 is coming out soon.

The View - Shock Horror

ps - finally just saw the series finale of big love...i think they took the easy way out with that one...

Song of the Day #78 - it's like you're dragging me down into your disease

My absolute favorite band from Austin. This one's a keeper.

What Made Milwaukee Famous - Hellodrama

ps - yesterday i traded tickets for a comedy show for a straw cowboy hat, an australian "swagman" hat, amc/regal passes, an itunes giftcard, and a tower records gift card.  the dude was so weird, but i just had to do it so i could say i did....

Song of the Day #77 - are you feeling the same as i do?

Honestly, this may be the most "typical" Foo song on their new album, but maybe that's why I like it so much.  I'm digging the new stuff!

Foo Fighters - Back & Forth

ps - i'm thirsty

Song of the Day #76 - oh dear, oh dear, my friends

If Fox doesn't use this song in their campaign for their upcoming Planet of the Apes prequel, I'm going to be very disappointed.

Does It Offend You, Yeah? - The Monkeys are Coming

ps - we so excited. (cause it's friday)
