Song of the Day #454 - still crammin' the shelves full of hamburger helper

Eminem's first 2 albums are easily among my favorite rap albums of all time, but I haven't listened to him much post album 3 (The Eminem Show).  With that said, I'm liking the new album the few times I've listened through, though it's way tooooo long.  Some pretty cool samples on there, and as usual, Em kills it throughout with his rhymes.  This one is pretty fun.

Eminem - So Far...

ps - hot damn, 'her'...what a freakin great movie.  spike jonze does it again.

Song of the Day #453 - will you come home again?

Don't know what it is about this song, but I heard it for the first time ever on Tuesday and became immediately obsessed .  Apparently they're Aussies....and that's all I got for ya

I can't find it on youtube or grooveshark, so you're just gonna have to listen on spotify or itunes.

Jenny Broke the Window - Wash Your Mouth

ps - saw the lion king musical last night for the first time in over a decade and was again absolutely floored by the costume and set design.

Song of the Day #452 - i was feeling kind of seasick on that boat

When in doubt, Grouplove.

Grouplove - Raspberry

ps - hakuna matata

Song of the Day #451 - no, the girl won't stay

Pacific Air - Float

ps - i've become re-obsessed with friends reruns

Song of the Day #450 - i'll stay up here, just you and me

If Passion Pit, "old-school" MGMT and The Polyphonic Spree had an eccentric baby...

Gentleman Hall - Sail Into the Sun

ps - so frozen was pretty legit...

Song of the Day #449 - these numbers could be lucky for you

Been sitting on this one for a while.  I think I once saw someone describe it as Apple Advert Pop...aka music essentially born to be featured in an Apple ad...and yeah, I don't think that's too far from the truth.  Basically the only thing I approve about Apple is their ad team's musical tastes.

BOY - Little Numbers

ps - back to warm LA...

Song of the Day #448 - (church on time) makes me party

We have a Frazier Approved first here....a song recorded before 1990...

Re-watched Frances Ha last night (one of my very favorite movies of the 2013) and this song really made an impression...I guess I didn't really notice the first time.  It plays in both the scene of Frances running and dancing through New York and the closing credits.  Great stuff.  It also got a very strong "I'm Still Standing" vibe.

David Bowie - Modern Love

ps - frances ha is on netflix...WATCH IT.

Song of the Day #447 - you see me everywhere, you walk around without a care

Nice encapsulation of both the soft and up-tempo sides of Best Coast.

Best Coast - I Don't Know How

ps - ugh, i don't want to see snow yet.

Song of the Day #446 - well, i got a plan in the palm of my hand

This song makes me feel like it's summer.

Terraplane Sun - Get Me Golden

ps - cheers to seth and james for bound 3.

Song of the Day #445 - the way is long but you can make it easy on me

Seriously, what took me so long to get on this bandwagon?  Love it.

CHVRCHES - The Mother We Share

ps - i think i'm getting sick for the first time in over a year...maybe close to 2 years...

Song of the Day #444 - show me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need

Avicii at the Bowl was ridiculously fun.  His album, True, is also ridiculously fun.  Was tough to pick a song, but this one just sounded the best at this very moment.

Avicii - Lay Me Down (ft. Adam Lambert)

ps - avicii kinda looks like nicholas hoult.

Song of the Day #443 - wave goodbye, wish me well

Probably the one track that seems out of place on their new album is also my favorite track on the album.

Nine Inch Nails - Everything

ps - i've been listening to these guys for over 15 years and tonight i'm FINALLY gonna see them live. awesome.

Song of the Day #442 - freedom from love, freedom from the heartache

At their raw, raucous, rowdiest best....

Dr. Dog - Broken Heart

ps - yeezus tour tomorrow...should be a trip.

Song of the Day #441 - i can be the joker that you couldn't shake off

I didn't even know these guys were still around...what a nice surprise when I stumbled upon this little ditty...

The Fratellis - Halloween Blues

ps - halloween is almost here!

Song of the Day #440 - it's not too late to come by my house

You can never go wrong with some Bob...especially when he brings out the power chords...

Bob Schneider - Unpromised Land

ps - apparently 'unpromised' is not a word

Song of the Day #439 - she always knew how to pull the strings

Haven't had a nice rocker in a while...

Catfish and the Bottlemen - Rango

ps - i rarely have any idea what kanye west is saying, but i love every second it

Song of the Day #438 - when the morning comes, i will wait for you

Just had these guys on here a couple months ago, but I'm loving their new album, and more specifically, this tune...

St. Lucia - Wait for Love

ps - have you seen gravity yet?

Song of the Day #437 - all the money’s gone and the house is cold

If U2 and Mumford had a baby...

The Lone Bellow - Green Eyes and a Heart of Gold

ps - no idea why this is set to a packers highlight reel...

Song of the Day #436 - we should be easy

About as country as I go...

The Wild Feathers - Ceiling

ps - i'm on the pirates bandwagon.

Song of the Day #435 - always keep your heart locked tight

Despite what you may have heard, this is, in fact, not an ode to the acclaimed HBO television show...

Haim - The Wire

ps - no government stoppage will stop this blog...just laziness.
