"Diamond Eyes" Josie Charlwood
Being in a one-(wo)man band has gotten a lot easier since the days of Dick Van Dyke. Oh, technology. If you dig this track and loop style, check out Josie's cover of MGMT's Electric Feel.

"Dream A Little Dream Of Me" The Mamas & The Papas
Is this song nicer than it is creepy? The decision is yours.

"Just For You" The Fed
Today's song, performed at their ceremony, is in honor of the Schmidriguez wedding. It's also about time I feature the work and creativity of some very talented friends.
This listening experience takes a liiiittle effort. Click the link, turn the background music "off" in the top left of the page. On the embedded media player to the right: push next, then push play. After a full listen, sample some other tracks!

"Ain't No Grave" Johnny Cash
It took me a long time to decide what song to post today, and I think this one feels like the right tribute. Godspeed grandpa, you're dearly missed.
"Well, meet me Jesus, meet me. Meet me in the middle of the air
And if these wings don't fail me I will meet you anywhere"
And if these wings don't fail me I will meet you anywhere"

"This Woman's Work" Kate Bush
This song is definitely weird. I post it mostly in anticipation of the new season of IASIP, as it was featured in the last season finale.

"I'm With You" Avril Lavigne
I was reminded of this song after hearing Rihanna's recent sampling. I probably like this song much more than I should. Eh, story of my life.

"Artificial Flowers" Bobby Darin
The style is celebratory, the content is depressing. I don't think I'll ever know how to feel about this confusing song.

"Sound of Da Police" KRS-One
This track's not for everyone, but it's definitely for those who think they're hard.

"Move Your Feet" Junior Senior
This song is all it takes to inspire a one-man dance party at your local McDonald's. ...just take my word for it.

"Stayin' Alive" Bee Gees
With all of the CPR I've been practicing in my EMT class, this song that the AHA endorses as having an optimal tempo for compressions is a regular presence in my mind. I must admit, it brings some nice disco levity to events of cardiac arrest.

"I Don't Want Love" The Antlers
I saw these boys perform on Late Night recently. It's probably my affinity for falsetto that makes me like this song so much.

"Dead On Arrival" Fall Out Boy
This song is a Rock Band influenced guilty pleasure. It's been three years since FOB's last album. I wouldn't mind another...

Nothing says "we're old and graduated" like blasting this song while driving through campus. Thanks to JS for providing the mix CD.

"I Believe In A Thing Called Love" The Darkness
My Hero Zero (a local cover band) brought their old frontman back on stage for this treat. As horrible of a sound as I'm sure the crowd was making, with all of us trying to hit the astronomic high pitches, it was perfectly enjoyable.

While I don't agree with this song's generalization, it is undeniably catchy.

These guys have had limited exposure, but are more than worth a listen. This link goes to their bandcamp website. As usual, just press play.

It's probably for the better that I forgot all about this song, but now that I've remembered I feel compelled to ruin your mental peace as well. :)

"Will You Be There" Michael Jackson
This song came on at the Phyrst when the sub-par band took a break. The crowd was at least 20 times more lively and excited to hear this jam than anything the live act played.

The classic harmonica lick in this song popped into my head after breakfast. Great for a casual Saturday.
