"Coney Island Winter" Garland Jeffreys + IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!
















It's time to revolutionize SOTD! Today begins a gradual move away from a blog format and toward the simplistic, convenient-for-all form of a Spotify playlist. For those who haven't ventured into the world of Spotify, it's time to leave the nest. Below are links to where you can download Spotify, and once installed, where you can link to the SOTD playlist. Once you've opened the playlist in Spotify click "subscribe" near the top and you will from then on be able to see and play the songs of the day by just accessing Spotify! Don't worry, to accommodate for those who are slow, I won't quit posting in blog format until my page hits peter out. I'll also give regular reminders to make the switch and a final notice. Thanks for your cooperation! I think you'll be pleased with the switch.

"One Headlight" The Wallflowers


















Not every celebrity's child deserves their 15 minutes of fame, but Jakob Dylan certainly did.

"Low" Cracker

 
















I never could tell whether this song was insulting or complimentary to its recipient.

"Please Mr. Postman" The Marvalettes


















I've been agonizingly waiting for a letter the past few days. I want it now! What I wouldn't give fora USPS tracking #.

"Don't Move" Phantogram

 
















It always amazes me that people could have such a blend of sounds in their heads and be able to convey it with a pleasant aesthetic.

"Without You" David Guetta ft. Usher

















Club jams often lose their novelty after a few months due to being overplayed, but my enjoyment of this track is sticking around. Must be those signature Usher vocals.

"The Day Forever Died" Matt Wertz



I figured out an even easier way to post music that is available for free via NoiseTrade! Hooray embedding! I've been a fan of Matt Wertz for some time now and would recommend this album even at full price. Listen through some tracks if you need some convincing. And, if you feel so inclined, TYM (tip your musician).

"The Pasture" Chicago Children's Choir
















This song brings back fond memories of middle school Select Choir. It's hard to believe it was a decade ago.

"Take A Bow" Rihanna


















We Found Love's been in my head an awful lot lady, but this early Rihanna vehicle-of-spite song remains my favorite of hers.

"All The Way" Eric Felten Jazz Orchestra

















A fun concert at the Kennedy Center last night. Jump the video to 50:50 and experience part of it as Felten sings a Frank Sinatra classic.

"All Your Life" The Band Perry

















I was reminded today of how little country music I've featured on the blog. These facts are true. Here's a recent tune that's quite tolerable. :)

"Heartstrings" Find Vienna


















...been craving new The Script after last year's release? This VERY similar sounding band might hold you over.

"Arms" Christina Perri

 
















Writing off Ms. Perri after really disliking her first single "Jar of Hearts" was clearly a mistake. THIS song is excellent!

"Clean House" Vick Allen


















The whole situation happening at PSU is distressing, but picturing the Board of Trustees sensually deliberating to this song is bringing a little levity.
