Song of the Day #496 - how can ya look so gloomy?

Jagwar Ma - Uncertainty

Song of the Day #495 - you drink till you drown

ZZ Ward - Cryin' Wolf (featuring Kendrick Lamar)

Song of the Day #494 - but i'm too cool to admit it

Coachella tomorrow!

Chromeo - Jealous (I Ain't With It)

ps - excited

Song of the Day #493 - but now i'm scared like a little child

New pop retro?  I don't even know what to call this other than pretty damn sweet.

Joel Alme - If You Got Somebody Waiting

ps - heard this during the credits of the latest joe swanberg flick, happy christmas, that premiered at sundance.  thank you, joe!

Song of the Day #492 - cuz i've been hanging on you

Looking forward to seeing these dudes at Coachella!

Future Islands - Seasons (Waiting on You)

ps - i'd be doing a disservice if i didn't also post the letterman performance...look at that dude get down!

Song of the Day #491 - so now i'm standing on the overpass screaming at the cars, hey

I can't place what this reminds me of, but damn, I can't escape it's infectiousness.

Bleachers - I Wanna Get Better

ps - i need to see grand budapest hotel, stat!

Song of the Day #490 - oooooooh, chiiiiild

No idea how I happened upon these dudes, but they can piece together a pretty sweet rocker.

Ruen Brothers - Blood Runs Wild

ps - i wish it rained this weekend...santa monica got screwed over last weekend with so much less than the rest of the city

Song of the Day #489 - someday i'll be coming home

Makes me feel like I'm back in Texas.

Jamestown Revival - California

ps - they played a good show last night opening at the troubadour

Song of the Day #488 - i can feel it coming

Apparently Shaun White plays guitar in this band...  And in a nonsensical way, it makes me wish I didn't like this song as much as I did....but alas, I do.  And that's OK.  Let's rock.

Bad Things - Anybody

ps - if i had a vote, i would've voted for her...but i don't

Song of the Day #487 - and tonight is the night, and tonight is alright

I don't know whether to compare MØ more to Lorde or Lana Del Rey, but maybe she's a little bit of both. She's normally a bit more dark and brooding than this one, but I wanted to get the dance party started.

MØ - Don't Wanna Dance

ps - c'mon gravity!

Song of the Day #486 - come on, show what you love now

I'll never understand the vitriol against Beady Eye.  No, it's not vintage Oasis, and no, they're not doing anything particularly revolutionary, but overall, it's pretty solid stuff.  I particularly like this one.  Also, as previously mentioned on this thing, I'm a sucker for horns.

Beady Eye - Second Bite of the Apple

ps - why did the rain stop?

Song of the Day #485 - i didn't need the money, but the money was nice

TPC slows it down a little and the result is this Fountains-of-Wayne-esque gem.

Tokyo Police Club - Hot Tonight

ps - is it a rainpocalypse or a stormzilla?

Song of the Day #484 - kids sing! kids sing!

Totally meant to post this one last week... in honor of the 10-year anniversary of Kanye's The College Dropout, my favorite rap/hip-hop album of all time.  While this one may not be my favorite track on there (that honor probably still goes to 'Jesus Walks'...and if you wanna go kitschy, it's the first half of 'The New Workout Plan) here's the track that when I first heard it, I knew this album was going to be something special.

Kanye West - We Don't Care

ps - maybe i really will start training to curl

Song of the Day #483 - oh, we were comin' around

Happy music!

The Colourist - Little Games

ps - i want to be an olympic curler when i grow up

Song of the Day #482 - make yourself right, never mind them

Man, this is pretty good.

Ages and Ages - Divisionary (Do The Right Thing)

ps - why has my neighbor decided to start playing guitar every night after midnight?

Song of the Day #481 - i am loving you more

I fell like I could very well find this song incredibly annoying at some point, but for now, it totally works for me, and, therefore, I proclaim it Frazier Approved.

Bear Hands - Giants

ps - not overpacking is hard.

Song of the Day #480 - oh yeah, i hate you too

I guess there's always some sort of validation when a song you've been listening to for more than a year starts getting some radio play...  hashtag music elitist

Cherub - Doses & Mimosas

ps - and on the radio they can't even play half the chorus...

Song of the Day #479 - when you use your medulla oblongata...

Love this...just came back across it for the first time in forever.  The Kanye verse alone is worth the price of admission...

Hold up, born in '88

How old is that? Old enough

I got seniority with the sorority

So, that explain why I love college

Gettin' brain in the library 'cause I love knowledge

When you use your Medulla Oblongata

And give me scoliosis until I comatoses

And do it while I sleep yeah a little osmosis

And thats my commandment you aint gotta ask Moses

More champagne more toastes

More damn planes, more coastes

And fuck a bus, the Benz is parked like Rosa

Kid Cudi - Make Her Say (feat. Kanye West and Common)

ps - one day till bacon fest

Song of the Day #478 - don't let those sparks die out

Sing it, sister!

Misterwives - Reflections

ps - i really don't care about your facebook movie.

Song of the Day #477 - you don't give a f*ck

How about a seductive jam to warm you up?

Robby Hunter Band - BUST

ps - i don't care about your facebook movie
