Song of the Day #44 - it's so cold in this house

I know it's only 40 degrees, but I'm cold.  I live in LA, it's not supposed to get cold here... and after being here for a month you start to think 60 degrees is pretty chilly.  Further, I don't have heat in my bedroom...only a huge sliding glass door making it easier for the cold air to get in...  So yeah, I'm cold.  And whenever I'm cold...I sing this song.

Bloc Party - Like Eating Glass

ps - them oscars were boooooring. 

Song of the Day #43 - except you are an actual jerk

One of my absolute favorite songs of the last however many years.  It's long, so bear with it...but geez, it's great.  The synth "orgasm" just after 3 minutes....is just...inexplicable.  Yes.

LCD Soundsystem - Dance Yrself Clean

ps - i prolly like this song too much.

Song of the Day #42 - but i won't quit, cause i want more

Get ready to sing the chorus all. day. long.  It's pretty much all I've been doing the past 2 days...

Young the Giant - My Body

ps - my body tells me nooooo-hooo. but i won't quit, cuz i want mooooore, cuz i want mooore!  seriously, i cant stop.

Song of the Day #41 - hold on to my hand, never let go, never let go

I'm having trouble with these guys, because the songs of theirs I like, I REALLY like.  However, there's several songs that bore me and I'm just very blah about...at least on their older album, Ode to Sunshine.  This is from their newer album, History From Below, and falls into that "like" category I mentioned just a few sentences ago.  I need to listen to more of that cd.  I'm sure you don't care about any of this.

Delta Spirit - Bushwick Blues

ps - unknown is pretty silly

Song of the Day #40 - this indecision got me climbing up the walls

It's the Foo Fighters. It's their new song. Listen.

Foo Fighters - Rope

ps - that is all.

Song of the Day #39 - all i wanted was a drink and a kiss

One of those upbeat, but not necessarily happy songs...  Catchy!

The Last Royals - Crystal Vases

ps - watched glengarry glen ross tonight for the first time in probably a decade. man! does that movie kick ass.

Song of the Day #38 - pour a little gas, spark up your lighter

No, it's not a hip-hop cover of Creed's "Higher"...though that would be kinda of amazing...  It's just J. Cole doing his thing...simple and smooth.

J. Cole - Higher

ps - in the world of recent r rated rom-coms: going the distance > no strings attached

Song of the Day #37 - ain't got nobody, baby, i can call my shorty

Bob Schneider reminds me of Austin.  He is also awesome.  This is not your typical Schneider song, but a helluva sing-along!  I'm seeing him tonight for the 2nd time ever...which is sort of ridiculous considering he plays in Austin on a weekly basis...  It only took me moving to LA to finally see him live...

Bob Schneider - Mudhouse

ps - my body is not happy with me right now...

Song of the Day #36 - there's no sea left for me

Sunday morning groove time.

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis - Otherside (Remix)

ps - the original version of this actually samples chili peppers' 'otherside'...i kinda prefer this one.

Song of the Day #35 - it's a fraction of a hope, but it's hard to control

These guys can write an infectious tune.  No whistles this time, though...it's all about the oooOOOoooOOOooo's.

Peter Bjorn and John - Second Chance

ps - 3-day weekend!!

Song of the Day #34 - she kissed my lips and quickly ran away

They sing the chorus a lot in this song...and I like it.

The Weeks - Buttons

ps - i sang 'kiss from a rose' tonight at karaoke and it was awesome.  at least i thought so.

Song of the Day #33 - i'm gonna have a party

From the guys who brought you "Popular"...  and probably nothing else you've heard....

Nada Surf - Blankest Year

ps - how the hell did my knee get so freakin brusied?

Song of the Day #32 - is my life about to change?

I really enjoy whistling this song...except I can't really whistle. 

Local Natives - Who Knows, Who Cares

ps - all i can think of right now is fred armisen imitating joy behart on an snl parody of the view and saying "so what, who cares" as he shrugs his shoulders.

Song of the Day #31 - yeah your alias says your captain jean-luc picard

Sorry, but this just came on my winamp. 1996!

The Refreshments - Banditos

ps - soooo good!

Song of the Day #30 - la la, la la, la la la la

Not that a Grammy really means much of anything, but congrats to Arcade Fire!

Arcade Fire - Deep Blue

ps - the suburbs = the woodlands, tx
pss - this marks the one month anniversary of the Frazier Approved Song of the Day (with only missing 2 days)... pretty impressed with myself right now for following through, not gonna lie...  hopefully some folks are actually reading it and finding some good tunes.

Song of the Day #29 - and now you're dreamin'

Awesome way to get your Sunday started right...

Them Terribles - Dreamers

ps - thanks to JessieR for this one.

Song of the Day #28 - and when it was over, I woke up alone

I've had songs from Gaslight Anthem's album American Slang  come on in the background a ton of times and always tell myself I need to give the whole album a close listen because it sounds pretty good.  However, I never do. I really need to get on that.

The Gaslight Anthem - American Slang

ps - big boi killed it last night, cee-lo was kinda disappointing...

Song of the Day #27 - and one, and two, now you know what to do

I got a back-up plan to the back-up plan to back up my back-up plan!

Big Boi - Back Up Plan

ps - big boi and cee-lo tonight!

Song of the Day #26 - they don't make 'em like her anymore

Cee-Lo and Big Boi on Friday!

Cee-Lo - It's OK

ps - nintendo, please.  if you saw the ep of SNL with cee-lo and gwyneth that would totally make sense to you.

Song of the Day #25 - why? oh well just because!

Give me some "woah-oh-oh's" and I'm sold!

Locksley - The Whip

ps - the chicago code premiere was decent...i hope it's not too procedural for me.  i need constant continuity in my television.
