Song of the Day #384 - build it up to tear it down

Somewhat southernish straight ahead rock n' roll with a slight tinge of LCD Soundsystem in that chorus. 

Chappo - 5-0

ps - all i want is chips and queso.

Song of the Day #383 - what's a boy supposed to do with a girl like you?

Instant love at first listen...

Guards - Coming True

ps - i've totally seen 'get the f*ck out of my pool' live before! http://gawker.com/jimmy-kimmel-gets-coachella-attendees-to-lie-about-liki-478088612

Song of the Day #382 - how am I gonna be an optimist about this?

According to Spotify, this is both the #1 AND #27 track right now in the UK.  In the US, it doesn't even register in the top 100.  The Brits have always been pretty on top of good tunes...I've found myself listening to this quite a bit the past few days.  I guess 13,973,230 youtube views can't be wrong...

Bastille - Pompeii

ps - michael shannon's dramatic read of the nutcase sorority girl letter is amazing.

Song of the Day #381 - but the world keeps spinning around

Not unlike early Coldplay type stuff...

Kodaline - High Hopes

ps - seeing jurassic park again on the big screen was pretty great.  they didn't even need to do the whole 3d thing.

Song of the Day #380 - you're gonna miss me till your dying day

These guys have such a great ear for super fun dancey tunes without sounding too derivative.

Saint Motel - Benny Goodman

ps - i taught the kid in the video all his dance moves

Song of the Day #379 - i drink to remember, i smoke to forget

When you take many months off, stuff falls through the cracks.  Still playing catch up...

Jake Bugg - Two Fingers

ps - green day live is so great.

Song of the Day #378 - have no place to go, darling

Just been too tired and/or busy to post this past week.  This should make up for it.

C2C - Down the Road

ps - glad this boston thing is resolved...hopefully!...

Song of the Day #377 - come on, raven, let me collect on my winnings

Alright, alright...I'm finally on the bandwagon...

Surfer Blood - Demon Dance

ps - what a fun game last night.  louisville -4....itoldya!

Song of the Day #376 - inteligente, ela é muito sensual

No Portuguese required to enjoy the hell outta this one...

Seu Jorge - Carolina

ps - i guess take louisville with the points...

Song of the Day #375 - stawberry fields, i'll set ablaze

Might be my favorite new discovery of 2013 so far.  The thing is..it came out over a year ago...  Someone get this on the radio already!

American Royalty - Matchstick

ps - beeeeeeerfest!

Song of the Day #374 - as soon as i fall in, i fall out

It's math. It's science.

Vanaprasta - Nine Equals Nine

ps - not loving that band name, though....

Song of the Day #373 - we're all searching for salvation, but we won’t find it in these streets

The last song I posted on here from The Weeks, "Buttons", basically had a chorus that just repeated over and over again.  This one here barely even has a chorus.  Versatility!

The Weeks - Mountains Make Me Crazy

ps - maybe one day i'll be able to get to bed before 1am on a weeknight.  one day....

Song of the Day #372 - here is something so strange and something louder than before

Something about an earthquake?

The Tallest Man on Earth - 1904

ps - the mets are 2-0.  2 more games over .500 than i would've expected them to be at any point this season. hooray.

Song of the Day #371 - these girls they be acting so sweet now

It's kind of absurd how much this sounds like something off Hard-Fi's third album, Killer Sounds, but that doesn't mean it's not a fun jam.

Willy Moon - Yeah Yeah

ps - now go listen to hard-fi!

Song of the Day #370 - no we're never gonna quit it, no we're never gonna quit it, no

No idea what they're saying in 78% of this song, but that's half the fun.

The 1975 - Chocolate

ps - walking dead and justified finish as game of thrones and mad men get started...the good tv never stops!

Song of the Day #369 - baby, baby, baby, baby right on time

Dear Vampire Weekend,

Love ya...I really, really do...but I think all these festivals might be listing you guys a little too high on the lineup card.  But hey, what do I know?...Phoenix has apparently achieved headliner status...and that is...just...not correct.   Really glad you're getting all this love, though.  Can't wait for the new album, cause this is awesome.

Kisses,
-fraz

Vampire Weekend - Diane Young

ps - it's looking like a no festival 2013 for me. sad.

Song of the Day #368 - and i plead, and i pray

I guess it's time to get this back on after a nice 3 month break.  What better way to start than with the best song of 2013 to date.  Yeah Yeah Yeahs have pretty much had at least one mind-blowing song per album (among many other solid tracks)...specifically: 'Maps' on Fever to Tell, 'Gold Lion' on Show Your Bones, 'Zero' on It's Blitz and now this killer...

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Sacrilege

Don't stop Karen O.

ps -  it's good to be back

Song of the Day #367 - i wished i was numb

I saw someone describe the sound of this as "sultry"....but when I first read it, I read it as "slutty".  I think both apply smashingly and in the best way possible.

Kita Klane - The Enemy

ps - i forgot how relaxing it is just lay in bed and listen to music.

Song of the Day #366 - i've been in love with love

Love at first listen...

The Mowgli's - San Francisco

ps - it only took 3 days, but i think i've finally caught up on rest from vegas...

Song of the Day #365 - promise is promise, an eye for an eye

Happened upon this the other day for the first time in a long time...still their best.

Queens of the Stone Age - The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret

ps - soooooo tired. damn you, vegas.
