Albums of the Year: 40-31

Here is part two of my year end countdown. Tonight will be albums 40-31, which means we are sneaking closer to number 1. I can't wait to unveil that for you all. You can view 50-41 here. Hope you enjoy this part of the list.

Albums of the Year: 50-41

Tonight will be the first installment of my top albums of the year. I was going to do 40 albums, but when I was compressing a list of almost 150 I had to go to 50. These are of albums that I have heard. Therefore, there may be better stuff out there that I haven't listened to. I'm always open to suggestions on stuff to listen to, so send me band that should have made the list. Again this is one man's opinion and I hope you enjoy it.

Song of the Day 12.15.11

Jimmy Eat World is one of my favorite bands of all time. They are catchy and all their songs hold meaning of some sort. One of my favorites by them is off their newest album and it is actually the title track off the album. Here is Jimmy Eat World with Invented

Song of the Day 12.14.11

I have recently discovered the wonderful music of Frank Turner. His lyrics are amazing and the music is incredible. He came out with an album this year called England Keep My Bones and I started listening to it today. I wanted to listen to it to see if it was going to crack my top albums list for the year, and let me just say that it most definitely will. So without further ado here is Frank Turner with If Ever I Stray

Today marked the last day of the semester for me. Next semester will be my last at SDSU and frankly I couldn't be happier. I took a class this semester on Psychedelic Rock of the 1960s, which was the best class choice ever. And I couldn't have finished off in a better way than with that class tonight. In honor of it I will go back to the 1960s and pick a song that we listened to in class from earlier in the semester, but it was one of my favorites that we had. Here is Moby Grape with Omaha

So I didn't post last night, I was too busy having fun at the second night of Wrex The Halls. The bands were incredible last night starting with MuteMath and capping off with Social Distortion and Blink 182. Tonight's song is from night one actually and that is because after seeing this band live I had to go get the album. The name Noel Gallagher will spark images of the great band Oasis (and their ultimate ego filled demise). Both Noel and Liam are on different projects now and this one is incredible. Here is Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds with AKA...What A Life

This weekend 91X is hosting their annual holiday concert. This year they are doing two nights and each night has an amazing line up. Tonight's show features Florence and the Machine, Death Cab For Cutie, Noel Gallagher, Cage The Elephant, The Airborne Toxic Event, and The Naked and the Famous. So in honor of tonight I give to you a song from one of the bands. Here is Sometime Around Midnight by The Airborne Toxic Event
