A Song A Day

Recommended Posts

That sort of music does sound quite similar to other stuff, it's hard to differentiate sometimes. But it's a good example of it, I liked it when it got more intense, like Sigur Ros does. It also reminded me of Red Sea by Asobi Seksu and I was going to pick that, but it's also long so I'll go for something else by them, it also fits the days theme.

I love that song, not that version though. I take it it's a demo version from somewhere?

I wanted to post this the other day but forgot.

Apparently it'll be a single in October, can't see how this'll get on the radio as it is. Not safe for work, by the way.

Cee Lo Green - "Fuck You"

That's an awesome song. I think the same guy has some music of his on a car advert atm, which is similarly awesome. I think that having swears in a song wont matter, a few years back you had that "Fuck you" and "Fuck you right back" song all the fucking time. I hated those songs, but ended up listening to them anyway due to serious overplay on radio stations.

The song wasn't really my cup of tea, but Ben sums it up very well - they were very nice to watch.

Cypress Hill & Pearl Jam - The Real Thing

From the Judgement Night soundtrack. An absolutely terrible film, but an amazing soundtrack. I had this on cassette back in the day, it took me an age to track it down on CD again later.

mudhoney & Sir Mix-a-lot :o Some of the other pair ups sound like they might be interesting as well.

This song was cool, i wasn't sure how well Pearl Jam and Cypress Hill would work together, but it really does so its cool.

Breeders - Cannonball

Man, I fuckin love Cannonball.

There's a lot of decent stuff on there, the only real stinker in my opinion is Disorder (the Slayer & Ice T track), it's like Body Count (Ice's ill-advised foray into thrash), but even worse.

If you want to hear more I recommend youtubin' for:

Dinosaur Junior & Del the Funkee Homosapien - Missing Link

Sonic Youth & Cypress Hill - I Love You Mary Jane

Mudhoney & Sir Mix-a-Lot - Freak Momma

Teenage Fanclub & De La Soul - Fallin'

Youtube is blocked here at work, so I can't find them myself unfortunately.

Well, that was a surprise. I started listening, thought "Oh my fuck, what is this shit?" then once it settled in really enjoyed it.

Now I am going to go all DC on your ears and drop a 10 minute monster on your lap.

For me this feels like one of those songs that should end a music game. Similar to other songs like Freebird and Stairway. Not my fav Zep track, but shit, I bet it would be hella fun to play in RB with a full set up.

It's just epic, in every rock respect. I love the chugging throughout while Plant and Page do their thing. Can't knock it. It reminds me that I should get myself some Zeppelin.

Now my song does have a running time of over 9 mins but it is only 6 mins long and the rest is silence, dunno why it's this way but it's the only one I could find, the rest were live versions recorded a mobile phone, so sound shit.

Love

Never really rated The Wildhearts, though I do remember this being on Top of the Pops, pretty surreal.

I'm sure I've posted this before, but what the hell.

So the lyrics are played backwards the forwards playing song, it does give an ominous feel to the song but I could still only pick out bits of it lyrically playing backwards. An interesting idea at least.

This is one of the crappy lyrics websites interpretation of the Siobhan Donaghy song

Full mug my friends certainly familiar

Ah, hear that glitch say search the orbs

Tree-ann said it his seize the circus

Ram's wool that cause way a cricus

Full mug my friends certainly familiar

Warmy funny Anna say say maluska

Sworn under an oath to war

Sworn under an oath to war

Phwoar so spirit smother me in

Ah, hear that glitch fought and ought

Fuel full fat her glass of milk

Warm sitting here, sitting in bed

Sworn under an oath to war

Sworn under an oath to war

Sworn under an oath to war

Have we run out of steam with this?

Anyway, just listened to the Arcade Fire track, really enjoyed it. Very '80's, but that's no bad thing. Reminds me that I need to get their new album, heard 3 or 4 tracks now and each one has been a corker.

I'm going with another choice from Rock Band 3. Haven't heard this in years. They were from Leeds and last I heard, the singer married Liv Tyler. As you do if you're from Leeds.

I have to admit I haven't been keeping up with this thread lately. Shame on me.

Spacehog - In the Meantime

I was only slightly aware of these guys at the time, but I do like the 90's indie rock, so I enjoyed this a lot. I thought his voice was a bit annoying to begin with, but it had grown on me by the end.

I heard

on the Spotify Radio feature thing earlier and have been singing it to myself all morning. But I'm not going to have that as my track for today, because it reminded me of this, and this is much better.

I try to leave a couple of songs gap between my posts n here. As much as anything because im running out of songs interesting enough to share, that easily come to mind at any rate

Also I was toying with picking a song that features a sample of a real murder (I didnt know that when i heard it). It's a really good song and would be without the sample. And I want to pick it because I can't stop thinking about it... but the reason I cant is because it's genuinely harrowing, so im not sure i want to inflict that on whoever wants to go next.

Also i cant remember the full title of it and the internet being the internet typing 'psycho 911 music video song' into google produces a few million results

Edit: Found it, it's not as bad as i remember it being but that doesnt stop it from being one of the most upsetting things ive heard. Probably wont post unless people really want to hear it

I'll take The Zombies.

It surprised me how fresh it sounded, having said that there is a bit right near the end where it goes into double time and I think everyone speeds up as well that I don't much like.

From The Zombies, I'm going with The Animals "House of the Rising Sun". Was going to be "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" but the video was badly out of sync so I couldn't be arsed with it. Besides which, the quality of this vid is pretty good considering the age of it.
