Florence and the Machine - What Kind of Man

ps - look like crab, talk like people

Song of the Day #637 - let me take a trip down to you

As Rob Thomas once said: "because you're so smooth".

Royal - Passenger

ps - trivia crack is pretty addicting.

Song of the Day #636 - it was bright, like a light, that you kept from your smile

Just another undeniably good folksy ballad that I probably would've hated 10 years ago, but now can't get enough of.

The Lone Bellow - Then Came the Morning

ps - sometimes i run, sometimes i hide

Song of the Day #635 - won't sing to your melody

I think there's a bright future ahead here...

San Fermin - Daedalus (What We Have)

ps - yes, i saw fitty.

Song of the Day #632 - how am i the lucky one?

I know critics and snobs hate Cold War Kids, but damn them...I think they can write a pretty good, sometimes great, piano-driven rock song.  Yes, they can also write some garbage...but this one's not garbage.  Clap those hands!

Cold War Kids - First

ps - sundays are so much better when there's no work on monday

Love this track. Hate the commercial.

Ed Harcourt - The Way That I Live

ps - pats won the super bowl. didn't get to boast on here when it happened. yay.

Song of the Day #628 - no goodbyes, no goodbyes

Probably his most low-key track to date....but for me, Kanye and that damn auto-tune equal great success.  809's and Heartbreak, please?

Kanye West - Only One (feat. Paul McCartney)

ps - if i wasn't so lazy, this and the next several songs would've been up here weeks ago.  i'm getting back on this train...no more 3 week lulls.  maybe.

Song of the Day #627 - i'm a genius, i'm a prodigy

From the movie God Help the Girl (written and directed by Stuart Murdoch of Belle & Sebastian fame), which I finally checked out last week.  Loved the soundtrack, found the movie a bit meh.  This one opens up the movie and is actually a reworking of Belle & Sebastian's 'Act of the Apostle Part 2'.

Emily Browning - Act of the Apostle (from God Help the Girl)

ps - i really, really wanted to like this movie more...but i'll be listening to the soundtrack for quite some time

I promised myself that I'd include this song in my "songs if forgot about" retrospective.....it's so lovably weird.

ps - not going to pretend like i ever know what's going with of montreal...

Song of the Day #622 - oh brother can you help me out?

Such a good jam.

Mando Diao - God Knows

Song of the Day #619 - light up, light up, as if you have a choice

Happy 2015!  We're gonna start off the year with a series of songs that are on my Spotify playlist entitled "Songs I Forgot About".  Basically, it a list of songs I enjoy that I really don't listen to much (if at all) these days, but that I happened to come across in the recent past and thought, "man, i really like this song and I can't remember the last time I listened to it.  I guess I seem to have forgotten about it so I should put it on that playlist that I made in Spotify that is intended for songs that fit this same description of events and then I can listen to it more...", Enjoy.

First stop, Snow Patrol!  Really, the whole Final Straw album should be on this list. So good.

Run - Snow Patrol

ps - foo fighters just played for 3.5 hours.  dave grohl is the greatest.
