Wolf Alice - Moaning Lisa Smile

Song of the Day #674 - don't be a fool for the city nights

So not my scene....this dude has a song on spotify that has nearly 270M plays...and I've definitely never heard it before.  Anyway, this is not that song...this only has 61M plays...and it is also my current favorite song to go to sleep to.

Robin Schulz - Headlights (feat. Ilsey)

ps - starting to worry more and more that me and music just aren't moving in the same direction any more...

Song of the Day #663 - it scares the hell outta me

Just a little Muse shout out since I got to see them last week.  I'm a bit Muse'd out these days, but the show definitely reinvigorated my love for some of the older stuff.
They didn't even play this song, but it's always been a favorite.

Muse - Thoughts of a Dying Atheist

ps - bye, mad men.

Song of the Day #660 - but my taste in music is your face

I think I usually prefer these guys when they shy away from their hip hop tendencies....unfortunately, they just don't do it enough.  But when they do...we get gems like this...

Song of the Day #658 - i wanna go out, but i wanna stay home

The new indie darling on the scene and for good reason.  Not every song works for me, but I must admit I've fallen prey to her endearing 90's grungy slacker rock.

Courtney Barnett - Nobody Really Cares If You Don't Go To The Party

ps - bummed about this whole mad men being almost done thing

Saturday, May 9, 2015

Song of the Day #657 - what did you think would happen?

I've always been pretty bored with MS MR...and then I heard 'Painted'...   Man, did they pick things up.  If they keep up with this intensity and urgency on their new album I may very well have to jump on the bandwagon.

MS MR - Painted

ps - how bout that rain!
