Song of the Day #389 - you broke my one rule, you treated me cruel

A very different (and more musically upbeat) take on the throes of heartbreak than yesterday's Phosphorescent song.  Bring on the horns!

Har Mar Superstar - Lady, You Shot Me

ps - i don't have my tv on, but castle is probably on right now

Song of the Day #388 - but my heart is wild, and my bones are steel

Pretty epic.  Right now I want to go out for a late night drive on an empty freeway, roll down the windows, and just blare this as the cool night air pumps into the car...

Phosphorescent - Song for Zula

ps - why is castle ALWAYS on?  i have never seen an episode of castle...but somehow every night my bedroom tv defaults to an episode of castle after i've put it on mute and stopped paying attention.

Song of the Day #387 - and i don't cry for yesterday

Love the original. Love the cover.

Cary Brothers - Ordinary World (Duran Duran Cover)

ps - did someone say it's going to be 90 tomorrow? i'm not in texas anymore...i don't need this.

Song of the Day #386 - i'll come running to tuck you in

Slow build, baby.

Pinback - Proceed to Memory

ps - always good to be back in tejas.

Song of the Day #385 - we've been waiting so long

Just. Damn. Good.

Leagues - We Belong Here

ps - welcome to the patriots, jamie collins. i hope you're just damn good, too.

Song of the Day #384 - build it up to tear it down

Somewhat southernish straight ahead rock n' roll with a slight tinge of LCD Soundsystem in that chorus. 

Chappo - 5-0

ps - all i want is chips and queso.

Song of the Day #383 - what's a boy supposed to do with a girl like you?

Instant love at first listen...

Guards - Coming True

ps - i've totally seen 'get the f*ck out of my pool' live before! http://gawker.com/jimmy-kimmel-gets-coachella-attendees-to-lie-about-liki-478088612

Song of the Day #382 - how am I gonna be an optimist about this?

According to Spotify, this is both the #1 AND #27 track right now in the UK.  In the US, it doesn't even register in the top 100.  The Brits have always been pretty on top of good tunes...I've found myself listening to this quite a bit the past few days.  I guess 13,973,230 youtube views can't be wrong...

Bastille - Pompeii

ps - michael shannon's dramatic read of the nutcase sorority girl letter is amazing.

Song of the Day #381 - but the world keeps spinning around

Not unlike early Coldplay type stuff...

Kodaline - High Hopes

ps - seeing jurassic park again on the big screen was pretty great.  they didn't even need to do the whole 3d thing.

Song of the Day #380 - you're gonna miss me till your dying day

These guys have such a great ear for super fun dancey tunes without sounding too derivative.

Saint Motel - Benny Goodman

ps - i taught the kid in the video all his dance moves

Song of the Day #379 - i drink to remember, i smoke to forget

When you take many months off, stuff falls through the cracks.  Still playing catch up...

Jake Bugg - Two Fingers

ps - green day live is so great.

Song of the Day #378 - have no place to go, darling

Just been too tired and/or busy to post this past week.  This should make up for it.

C2C - Down the Road

ps - glad this boston thing is resolved...hopefully!...

Song of the Day #377 - come on, raven, let me collect on my winnings

Alright, alright...I'm finally on the bandwagon...

Surfer Blood - Demon Dance

ps - what a fun game last night.  louisville -4....itoldya!

Song of the Day #376 - inteligente, ela é muito sensual

No Portuguese required to enjoy the hell outta this one...

Seu Jorge - Carolina

ps - i guess take louisville with the points...

Song of the Day #375 - stawberry fields, i'll set ablaze

Might be my favorite new discovery of 2013 so far.  The thing is..it came out over a year ago...  Someone get this on the radio already!

American Royalty - Matchstick

ps - beeeeeeerfest!

Song of the Day #374 - as soon as i fall in, i fall out

It's math. It's science.

Vanaprasta - Nine Equals Nine

ps - not loving that band name, though....

Song of the Day #373 - we're all searching for salvation, but we won’t find it in these streets

The last song I posted on here from The Weeks, "Buttons", basically had a chorus that just repeated over and over again.  This one here barely even has a chorus.  Versatility!

The Weeks - Mountains Make Me Crazy

ps - maybe one day i'll be able to get to bed before 1am on a weeknight.  one day....

Song of the Day #372 - here is something so strange and something louder than before

Something about an earthquake?

The Tallest Man on Earth - 1904

ps - the mets are 2-0.  2 more games over .500 than i would've expected them to be at any point this season. hooray.

Song of the Day #371 - these girls they be acting so sweet now

It's kind of absurd how much this sounds like something off Hard-Fi's third album, Killer Sounds, but that doesn't mean it's not a fun jam.

Willy Moon - Yeah Yeah

ps - now go listen to hard-fi!

Song of the Day #370 - no we're never gonna quit it, no we're never gonna quit it, no

No idea what they're saying in 78% of this song, but that's half the fun.

The 1975 - Chocolate

ps - walking dead and justified finish as game of thrones and mad men get started...the good tv never stops!
