"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!

"Os Grilos (Crickets Sing for Ana Maria)" Patricia Alve & Marcos Valle

 















Sorry I've missed a few days... time to catch up. This song is wonderful. babadooda, badabadee.

"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"

"Ain't No Grave" Johnny Cash

"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.

"Come Closer" Miles Kane

 
















I can see this song working well in a commercial. Unique and memorable.

"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.

"The Curse" Josh Ritter

This song just feels right for me today, but for no particular reason.

"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...

"Building Houses" Wesley Jensen

I've been wanting to share this track for weeks, but couldn't find anywhere it was posted. It's up now, go enjoy.

Self-released on your own independent label? Respect.

"What A Feeling" Irene Cara

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.

"Not Dark Yet" Bob Dylan

 















...but it's getting there. 500th post today, thanks for sticking around!

"The Huckster" Light For Fire

Simple and easy on the ears. Please excuse the brief strong language.

"Speak Low" Tony Bennett & Norah Jones

...I'm in heaven.
