Song of the Day 1.4.12

The past few songs I've posted have been fairly new. Tonight I'm going back to 1981 for this edition of the song of the day. I've heard this song a lot lately on 101.5 KGB and I love it every time I hear it. I said to myself, Self, you need to find this album on vinyl because it would be awesome to add to your collection. I then patted myself on the back and said, Self, you are a genius. Today I went down to the Vinyl Room for the first time and browsed their stuff (which was awesome) and I came across the album As Far As Siam by Red Rider for only $2.50. Hell Yes!! I can now check this one off my list. So tonight I give you off As Far As Siam here is Red Rider with Lunatic Fringe

Song of the Day 1.3.12

The album that this song comes from could have easily made my top 50 list of the year. The only problem is that I got it after I compiled my list and had published the first two installments. Therefore I was not about to screw things up. I guess I should have done like an honorable mentions list or something. Anyways the album is called El Camino by The Black Keys. I love their bluesy guitar sound that they have it really has a great vibe to it. What it kind of reminds me of is some Butterfield Blues Band. I recently got East West on vinyl and it is an amazing listen from an underrated band of the 60s. Anyways here are The Black Keys with Lonely Boy

Song of the Day 1.2.12

I guess now is as good of time as any to post the song of the day for today. I am incredibly bored by the way, I hate when I fell like this. Oh well. I had to look back at what songs I have posted just so I don't repeat myself. Don't want that now do we. Today's song is coming from a band that I have had the pleasure of seeing live. They recently put out a new album, and even though it isn't up to par with their old stuff, and a lot of fans didn't like it, I still think it's pretty decent. Off their new record The Great Escape Artist here is Jane's Addiction with Underground

Song of the Day 1.1.12

We are now in a new year. "Wow, thanks Matt for stating the obvious!" Why you are welcome anonymous viewer that lives in my psyche. Anywho, my goal this year for this blog is to post a song of the day every day. That means you will get 366 songs to listen to (yes it is a leap year this year). They will be songs spanning all genres and time periods. My other goal is to start writing album reviews. I did a poor job at it I'm sure with the quick blurbs that I wrote for my albums of the year. I hope to improve on that. So to start us off this year I thought it would be fitting to give you The New Year by Death Cab For Cutie

Albums of the Year: 10-1

Finally I have come to the end of the end of the year list. This actually went a lot faster than I thought it would. I guess I could have dragged it on longer but 10 albums a day is good. I hope you all have enjoyed my lists, and I can't wait to do it next year. So without further ado here are my top 10.
50-41
40-31
