Song of the Day #425 - turn my back and run away

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

Electrasy - Morning Afterglow

ps - i need to get some more of my precious 90's alt rock on here

Song of the Day #424 - yeah, yeah, the punks are done, f*ck those rock and rollers

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.

Awkward is life.

San Cisco - Awkward

ps - why are there so many songs about rainbows?

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

Song of the Day #415 - sippin' from your cup till it runneth over

In honor of the Jay-Z/Jay-T show last night....  easily the best song on Magna Carta... Holy Grail.

ps - jt doing the cop part on 99 problems was pretty rad.

Bring in da noise. Bring in da funk.

Bad Rabbits - Can't Fool Me

ps - possibly seeing these dudes on monday.

Song of the Day #413 - don't you tell me no truths, i want only your lies

Nice voice, dude.  This is in my shazaam log 4 separate times because I kept hearing it, but not remembering what it was, and also not remembering that I'd already shazaam'd it....though every time I was definitely thinking, "man, this is a kickass song!".

Jamie N Commons - Rumble and Sway

Hanni El Khatib - Penny

ps - aaron hernandez just keeps looking dumber and dumber every passing day.

Song of the Day #409 - pretty girls born in the 90s, they don't know much of 85
