Song of the Day #474 - it's life and death, we won't rest

Geez, this is good.  Came across Tangerine's awesome "Feel This Way" a few months ago and had it on queue to post on here, but then I came across this little ditty and had to go with this one instead. Kind of obsessed.

Tangerine - Dreadful

ps - anxiously awaiting pats-broncos tomorrow. 

Song of the Day #470 - the bands i like, they don't sell too many records, and the girls i like, they don't kiss too many boys

I guess it's finally time post a song in 2014.  Kick us off, Frank.

Frank Turner - We Shall Not Overcome

ps - happy new year!

The Top 25 2013ish Songs I Voluntarily Chose to Listen to in 2013

Disclaimer:
These are not the best songs of the year.  I may even be sick of some of these songs.  These are the songs that came out in 2013 (with a little give for 2012) that I voluntarily chose to listen to the most over the course of 2013.  While I likely heard songs by Miley, Katy and Robin Thicke just as much as any of these, and maybe even enjoyed them just as much as any of these, they won't be on here, as I heard those plenty on their own without necessarily queuing them up myself on my spotify.  These are the songs I actively chose to listen to the most when I had a hankering to listen to some music.  So let's do it...

And yes, there are more than 25 songs in my Top 25.  Deal With it.
