song of the day: Darlings - "Big Girl"

Darlings - Big Girl [mp3]
this song is perfect.

Darlings are from NYC. visit them on MYSPACE

song of the day: Petey Pablo - Raise Up

this brings me baaaaaaaaaaack

Dead Confederate to release Sugar on 24 August

the Athens band's new album is really good. expect a review closer to the release date.

Dead Confederate - Giving It All Away [mp3]

song of the day: LexiconDon - December Sunset

LexiconDon - December Sunset [mp3]
from the forthcoming Pink + Blue (24 August, via dubFrequency/Binary)

this track reminds me of The Cure for some reason. The Cure drenched in smooth synth beats on a Los Angeles dance floor. and I like it. I really do.

song of the day: Arcade Fire - Rebellion (Lies)

Arcade Fire - Rebellion (Lies) [mp3]

where would any of us be without Funeral? the same place we would be without bread: malnourished and toiling away in search of satiety with no solace in sight.

song of the day: Kaki King - Doing the Wrong Thing

today, I decided to post this song whilst listening to my favourite contemporary experimental guitarist...when I came home, I was delighted to see a promo copy of her new record in my pile. I'm listening to it right now and really loving it. a review is forthcoming.

Kaki King - Doing the Wrong Thing [mp3]

Kaki King is almost exactly the same age as Julian. their birthdays are a few days apart. a pretty cool coincidence if I do say so myself.

song of the day: Rise Against- Savior

I love Rise Against. I always will. I don't listen to them a lot anymore because they remind me of my sXe vegan teenage self and then my cigarette smoking, drug consuming, cheese eating modern person feels guilty.

regardless, I always try to catch them in concert...they were at my first ever festival (BFD 2006!) and continue to awe me every time Warped tour comes to town.

oh, and here's an mp3

Rise Against - Savior [mp3]
from Appeal to Reason

song of the day: Matt Pond PA - Several Arrows Later

cheers to Blair at Certain Songs for reminding me of how much this band rocks.

Song of the Day: The Offspring - Self Esteem

I really love it when songs tell stories...vividly.

The Offspring - Self Esteem [mp3]
from Smash (1994)

song of the day: Wilco - Sunken Treasure

"Music is my savior, and I was maimed by rock and roll"

Wilco - Sunken Treasure [mp3]

HOLY SHIT. I don't think I've ever listened to disc 2 of Being There. this song just might get me into Wilco. wow.

song of the day: Modest Mouse - Float On

feeling very triumphant today.

song of the day: Cold War Kids - Dreams Old Men Dream

it's been spinning through my head all day. I've been feeling nostalgic lately.
also, I have to say that Loyalty to Loyalty is one hell of an under-rated record. I love it. this track has got to be a contender for my favourite CWK song...and definitely a spectacle to behold live.

you guys should check this SESSION out.

song of the day: Jimmy Eat World - A Praise Chorus

I will never ever tire of Jimmy Eat World...especially Bleed American and Clarity. so simple, but so effortlessly empowering. I fucking love these guys.
