Song of the Day #219 - due to lack of interest tomorrow is canceled

One can never get enough Kaiser Chiefs.  It's just not possible.

Kaiser Chiefs - Ruby

ps - i think this was the first song i ever got 100% on in guitar hero.

pss - jimmy was as awesome as expected. as was the hot dog.

Song of the Day #218 - i don't seem obvious, do iiiiiiiiii?

Seeing Jimmy Eat World play Bleed American all the way through tonight....gonna be awesome.  Probably my favorite off it...

Jimmy Eat World - The Authority Song

ps - i'm also going to eat a bacon-wrapped hot dog tonight.

Song of the Day #217 - hey now, wake up!

These guys wrote this pretty sweet song....and then they were never heard from again...

Jupiter One - Countdown

ps - i just (accidentally) stabbed myself with a pair of tweezers.  oops.

Song of the Day #216 - we won't stay down long

One of those little gems I found back when I used to investigate SxSW bands a few years back.  I really need to start doing that again.

Gentleman Auction House - The Book of Matches

ps - i used to be legit. i was too legit. i was too legit to quit. but now i'm not legit. i'm unlegit. and for that reason, i must quit.

Song of the Day #215 - you can't fake this, only imitate this

We can definitely file this one under guilty pleasure.  I just wanna dance.

Young Love - Discotech

ps - hopefully it's just a case of pilot-itis.  otherwise, don't think i'll be hanging round terra nova much longer.

Song of the Day #214 - they hung out with folks like dennis hopper, bob seger, and sonny and cher

Oh, memories.

Shawn Mullins - Rockabye

ps - awesome weekend in austin.

Song of the Day #213 - you don't want to be alone

I have no idea when these guys got so big, but the crowd at the Wiltern tonight was going absolutely insane for them. 

Two Door Cinema Club - What You Know

ps - grouplove killed it.

Song of the Day #212 - take me to your best friend's house

These guys have a freakin fun sound.  Stoked to see them tomorrow night with Two Door Cinema Club and The Lonely Forest.  Rock!

Grouplove - Tongue Tied

ps - relatively solid dual-ep premiere for modern family. community tomorrow!

Song of the Day #211 - i don't wanna make you stay, i just wanna hear you say goodnight again

Cause sometimes you just want her to leave...

The Dig - You're Already Gone

ps - i've had the colour and the shape in my car cd player for going on 3 weeks now....sooooo goooood.

Song of the Day #210 - how's that bricklaying coming?

I could easily see these guys on the same bill as previously Frazier Approved bands like Edward Sharpe and Of Monsters and Men.  Sometimes you just need good folkish rock in your life.

The Head and the Heart - Lost In My Mind

ps - how bout that lion king? wow.

Song of the Day #209 - there is no one like me

Whoops.  Let's try to get back on this.  Chiddy makes his 3rd appearance on this blog (though one time was a remix) with this fun ditty that's also on the Madden 2012 soundtrack.

Chiddy Bang - Mind Your Manners

ps - is it just me or is there something slightly off about madden 12?

Song of the Day #208 - kill me if you dare

Kasabian is really good at making the types grooves you'd expect to hear during the opening credits of a movie....or a tv commercial....

Kasabian - Underdog

ps - i need some artwork in my office.

Song of the Day #207 - there's only music, so that there's new ringtones

Listening to the Arctic Monkeys first album today made me remember how truly fantastic it is.  This is my favorite off it.  Fun fact - 8 of the 13 songs on the album are under 3 minutes.  This is not one of them.

Arctic Monkeys - A Certain Romance

ps - i'm not quite sure what's going on in the murder storyline, but otherwise, i'm really digging the hour on bbcamerica

Song of the Day #206 - kick it with that new girl, eatin my chipotle

Apparently this dude used to work at Google and quit to pursue a hip hop career.  Haven't heard anything else from him, but if the rest of his stuff is as infectious as this, I'll be a fan.  Also love the Fitz and the Tantrums sample.

Hoodie Allen - Song for an Actress

ps - good weekend.

Song of the Day #205 - come in to my heart

Awesome song title.  Awesome song.  Particularly the last 2 minutes...it's just....awesome.

Girls - Vomit

ps - dodger dogs are overrated.

Song of the Day #204 - fire in the disco! fire in the taco bell!

YES! 

Electric Six - Danger! High Voltage! (feat. Jack White)

ps - halfway through season 1 of battlestar..it's pretty rad

Song of the Day #203 - i've been livin' in the space between my ears

Don't know where this came from, or really who this guy is, but I'm a fan of this one. 

Kyle Andrews - Lazer Tag with Imaginary Friends

ps - i wanna play lazer tag

Song of the Day #202 - pissed in their champagne

Love the slow build...

Elbow - Ribcage

ps - louis c.k. is hilarious and a genius.

Song of the Day #201 - you're everyone's best friend

I just spent 20 minutes trying to pick a song from Hard-Fi to put on here.  I like them all, I really do.  For no good reason, this one won out. 

Hard-Fi - Feltham is Singing Out

ps - got my halloween costume

Song of the Day #200 - are you there? and is it comfortable?

Welp, we've made it to 200.  Still amazed I'm updating this on a regular basis.  If I make it to 300, I'll be just as amazed.  Anyway, to commemorate the milestone, I think I'll yet again (like #100) post one of my absolute favorite songs that I think was/is under-appreciated from the mid-90s.  OLP hasn't quite been the same ever since the release of Gravity, but I still think their first 4 albums are all pretty damn fantastic.  And while Clumsy was my favorite album of theirs for quite a while, their first album, Naveed, has since surpassed it in my eyes (and ears).  This is such a good song.

Our Lady Peace - Naveed

ps - finally saw crank.  wow.
