Song of the Day #505 - i'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen you knife

Figured I'd wait until after the Holy weekend to post this one...

Hozier - Take Me to Church

ps - tortilla.

Song of the Day #504 - and I never showed you my cold feet, just my pride

Maybe it's my huge crush on the drummer or maybe it's that they just straight up rock, but I haven't been able to get enough of these folks since I saw them last month.  Diggin' the just released new album, too.

The Colourist - Fix This

ps - bread.

Song of the Day #503 - i wanna feel everything aboutcha, girl

How I missed out on these guys back in the 90's, I'll never know...this is right up my alley.  But making up for lost time now.

The Afghan Whigs - Somethin' Hot

ps - just continuing on the train of folks i didn't get to see at coach

Song of the Day #502 - and the money don't run

Don't go up against Grouplove at Coachella because then I don't get to see you.

Aloe Blacc - Chasing

ps - barely caught my breath and now it's off to nyc for 30 hours...

Song of the Day #501 - so there's music in my bones, in my heart and in my soul

Rock it, shorty.

Trombone Shorty - Fire and Brimstone

ps - sadly missed him at coachella

Song of the Day #500 - nah nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah

Welp, it's song of the day #500...though I think it took more than 1,000 days to get here.

In honor of the milestone, we'll just go with what is probably my 2nd favorite song ever.  And we'll go with a live version by Sir Paul since the Beatles aren't on spotify and hearing him play it at the Hollywood Bowl a few years back is a top 5 lifetime concert moment for me.

Paul McCartney - Hey Jude (Live)

ps - thanks to anyone who ever actually comes to this thing

Song of the Day #499 - i want to dance

Frankie killed it at his grossly under-attended set on Sunday.

Frank Turner - Four Simple Words

ps - back to live posts...if you couldn't tell, the last several were pre-scheduled.  yes, i made it out alive.

Song of the Day #498 - i need to be free with you tonight

Back to reality.

Calvin Harris - I Need Your Love (featuring Ellie Goulding)

ps - 89% chance there was some dancing to this yesterday

Song of the Day #497 - did it make you feel so clever?

Coachella again today!  But it's the last day. Sad face.

CHVRCHES - Gun

ps - probably still kickin!

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

Coachella today again!

Jagwar Ma - Uncertainty

ps - still alive! (hopefully!)

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

Coachella today!

ZZ Ward - Cryin' Wolf (featuring Kendrick Lamar)

ps - amped!

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?
