Song of the Day - Winds of Change by Fitz & the Tantrums

I've been on a bit of a Fitz & the Tantrums kick the past couple of days. They played here in Detroit a couple of weeks ago. It was a free show, but I didn't go. I was actually downtown that night, just someplace else. I went to the Red Wings game (which we lost!). I could have gone to the show after the game, but a friend of mine said it was pretty packed and they may not have been letting people in at that point. So, sadly, I did not see them.

Song of the Day: Howlin for You by The Black Keys

I wish this were a real movie.

Song of the Day - Adultery by The Extra Lens

I picked up The Extra Lens - Undercard - on Amazon today. I'm not going to like, it's the best album you'll find for $3.99 today. By far!

Song of the Day - Cameras by Matt and Kim

I think I've done this as the song of the day before, but there's an actual video for it now. This isn't what I set out to post today, but it's all I've been able to do. It's been a long day. More after some sleep. Lots and lots of sleep (and possibly sake bombs).

Song of the Day - Night by Night by Chromeo

Song of the Day - Sukie in the Graveyard by Belle & Sebastian

No explanation for this one. I just like the song.

Song of the Day - Black Sheep by Metric (Brie Larson version)

I think that I may have to make a voyage to some sort of place where people can buy DVDs this weekend to pick up Scott Pilgrim vs The World. Where would one go to buy DVDs though?

Song of the Day - Cameras by Matt and Kim

I had no idea Matt and Kim had a new album coming out. None at all until today. Upon finding out though, I had to hear it. And it is pretty damned great. It's like when you put something amazing in your mouth and eat it...but for your ears.

Song of The Day - Fireplace by Lost in the Trees

Today I learned that Lost In The Trees was recently featured as part of NPR's Tiny Desk Concert Series. Sadly, they didn't do Fireplace, which may be my favorite song from the new cd All Alone In An Empty House. I had the opportunity to see Lost In The Trees this past summer. It was the most intimate show that I could imagine a band playing. I can't say that there were more than two dozen people there to see them. They played upstairs at the Crofoot in Pontiac, MI after CocoRosie had played downstairs. Almost everyone left, but my friends and I stuck around to check them out. Sadly, I was getting tired and wanted to go home, so I did not enjoy the show as much as I could have. I did, however, buy the cd and quickly fell in love with it.

Song of the Day - Banditos by The Refreshments

Sometimes I forget how much I love this song.

Song of the Day - Home Sweet Home by Those Dancing Days

Ok, so I was putting together a playlist in iTunes. Inevitably, when I do this, I stumble down a rabbit hole of songs I love but haven't listened to for some time. This time it was Those Dancing Days, one of my favorite Swedish bands (Yes, I listen to enough Swedish bands to have a favorite that is NOT ABBA (if anyone tells you they don't like ABBA, they are most likely lying to you)). So, I went over to the YouTube, and I never knew that Those Dancing Days made a video for any of their songs, let alone four videos! I picked Home Sweet Home for a couple of reasons. Mostly because it's a good song and a fun video, but also because there's a shout out to the airport I spend so much time in, Detroit Metropolitan Airport!

I really wish I could find some recent news on the band. I'd really love for them to make another album. Linnea Jönsson has such a great voice that I'd love to hear more.

Song of the Day - Talk on Indolence by The Avett Brothers

Here's the thing, Talk on Indolence is not my favorite Avett Brothers song. I like it, it's a good song, it's just not my favorite. It is however the one I would most enjoy singing at karaoke.

I have karaoke on the brain. Karaoke and goats.

Song of the Day - Black Sheep by Metric

This is mostly as a follow up to yesterday's Scott Pilgrim post.



Black Sheep was provided by Metric to be the song played by the fictional band The Clash at Demonhead in the movie. I might add, the under utilized fictional band.

Song of the Day - Jenny by The Mountain Goats

Hi diddle dee dee. Goddamn. The pirate's life for me.



I'm *IN* Monahans, Texas. Something off of All Hail West Texas just seemed...appropriate.

Song of the Day - Danger! High Voltage by Electric Six

So, not so long ago, I thought it might be a fun idea to post a Song of the Day from time to time. It's hardly an original idea, but I'm not exactly known for my originality around here. I may or may not introduce it. I may just end up infrequently posting it and moving on. We'll see how this goes. If nothing else, I'm establishing a precedent so it's not so random in the future. To start the whole thing off, we'll go with a band from my hometown of Detroit. Enjoy!
