Song of the Day #336 - there's nothing we can do, we were born to die fools

Like a more chill Passion Pit....

Geographer - Lover's Game

ps - i try really hard, actually (paulie bleeker is coming back tonight for kickball on halloween)

Song of the Day #335 - run away with me and it’ll all make sense

These guys are just so soothing...makes me want to take a relaxing bubble bath...

Lord Huron - Time to Run

ps - i wish it were still the weekend.

Song of the Day #334 - it's just generation drunk-text

I wanted to put these guys's song 'Write Me a Myth' on here, but it's not on youtube or even grooveshark.  It's alright, though, because they have lots of other good songs...like this one...

Library Voices - Generation Handclap

ps - book of mormon never gets old

Song of the Day #333 - she hooked me on a line with her walkman and her radio

They ain't talkin about tvs.

Wildlife Control - Analog or Digital

Song of the Day #332 - so let's live to love and love to live

I wish I'd known about these guys when I lived in Austin...

Quiet Company - You, Me, & the Boatman (Truth Is, I've Been Thirsty My Whole Life)

ps - taking back sunday's 10-year anniversary of tell all your friends acoustic show was pretty fantastic.  thursday is the plugged in 10-year anniversary show.  i shall be there.

Song of the Day #331 - and i refuse to believe that it's hopeless

I only first heard this a few days ago, but it really stuck with me.  Simple and haunting, but kind of epic.

Ramona Falls - Spore

ps - taking back sunday acoustic tonight.  it's the 10-year anniversary of 'tell all your friends'...ugh, i'm old.

Song of the Day #330 - i wonder what she knows, i wonder where she goes

Love these guys' sound.

Deep Sea Arcade - Granite City

ps - this is the most bipolar patriots team ever.

Song of the Day #329 - all I was searchin' for was me

It's a clean the apartment to chill music while watching football kind of sunday...

Ben Howard - Keep Your Head Up

ps - i really want the memphis bbq burger from carl's jr.

Song of the Day #328 - there's no limit to my vanity

I think these guys might know what they're doing...  rock.

Alberta Cross - Money For the Weekend (Pocket Full of Shame)

ps - ben affleck is slowly becoming the pixar of adult dramatic thrillers...

Song of the Day #327 - they never gonna cut me down

Love me some K'naan.  Nice to see him back (new album came out on Tuesday). 

K'naan - The Seed

ps - i could use a chill weekend

Song of the Day #326 - don't fix my smile

Freelance Whales were so good last night at the El Rey.  I went in expecting a pretty chill, maybe even boring show, and they just killed it.  They had so much more energy than comes off in their recorded songs and it made me actually enjoy listening to their albums significantly more after the fact (something I don't get to say very often).  They've previously been featured on here with Generator ^ First Floor, so naturally, let's go with the "sequel"...

Freelance Whales - Generator ^ Second Floor

ps - i was supposed to go see carrie underwood perform in someone's living room tonight, but it didn't work out...i don't think i've ever been so bummed to miss a show where i wasn't even a fan of the artist

Song of the Day #325 - chasin' the fire for you

Not the first, and probably not the last, song called 'Warrior' to be featured on here.  While the first was more of a dance number, this one probably fits more in the ballad category.....

Foxes - Warrior

ps - i ate broccoli and peas and carrots for dinner last night.  you're welcome, body.

Song of the Day #324 - steal a car on a dare

If I surfed and lived in the 60's, this would totally put me in the mood to head to the beach and catch some waves.  Unfortunately, I neither surf nor live in the 60's, so I haven't yet figured out what this puts me in the mood for....   Regardless, it's good!

Howler - Back of Your Neck

ps - thank you, phillip rivers. thank you.

Song of the Day #323 - you gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta bring it back

This song kind of reminds me of some old school Doves...

The Whigs - Waiting

ps - what a terrible football weekend.

Song of the Day #322 - cheers, thanks for everything

I love this song. And it's a great video to boot.

Travis - Selfish Jean

ps - texas fight!  it's 736 in the am and ou still sucks.

Song of the Day #321 - shoot that f**ker down

It's catchy, alright?

Green Day - Kill the DJ

ps - can't believe the cardinals pulled that one out.

Song of the Day #320 - they call me mr. negativity

White boy rap for the win.

Classified - That Ain't Classy

ps - jgl looks like a non-blue avatar in looper

Song of the Day #319 - and this chaos, it defies imagination

Told ya there'd be more Muse.  My favorite on the new album so far.  I love it when they bring out the dance grooves. 

Muse - Panic Station

ps - we'll probably all be sick of this in 6 months time

Song of the Day #318 - and we'll have so much fun, we'll have just begun

A little dreamy pop to put you to bed...

Ariel Pink's Haunted Garffiti - Only In My Dreams

ps - i'm not sure i laugh at how i met your mother anymore...and that makes me sad.

Song of the Day #317 - i'll tell you everything i know

Not sure if these guys are even a band anymore, but they made some good tunes back in their day.  If you like Hockey or Black Kids or even Friendly Fires, you'll probably dig this.

The Virgins - Rich Girls

ps - on stage, florence is like a 12-year old girl having the time of her life
