5.27.09 – “American Pie” by Don McLean

Today’s song is probably one of the greatest songs ever written.  Don McLean wrote this song after Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and the Big Bopper were killed in a plane crash, which is known as the day the music died.  Don McLean was an amazing folk song writer and unfortunately he will probably never be [...]

5.26.09 – “Fly” by Sugar Ray

In the 90’s there was only one song to listen to, and it’s called Fly by Sugar Ray.  I defy anyone to not jump out of their chair and do their best white man reggae two step while listening to this song.  Sugar Ray hasn’t really released anything good lately, it seems unfortunate.  Remember when [...]

5.21.09 – “Something is not right with me” by Cold War Kids

Cold War Kids are a fantastically imaginative group from Fullerton California.  I feel happy just knowing there is a band like Cold War Kids.   Their music sounds very beefy to me. They pack a punch but it’s an elegant punch, the little details and extra instrumentation is what sets them apart from your run of [...]

5.20.09 – “On the Radio” by Regina Spektor

Regina Spektor is a Russian born singer/pianist from Moscow.  She currently resides in New York and writes songs that are fantastic in nature.  To me her music is  “quirky” and charming. She has studied classical piano since the age of 6 and at the age of 21 she produced and promoted her first album – [...]

5.19.09 – “Use Somebody” by Kings of Leon

Today, is a song of the day first.  At some point or another SOTD’s are bound to repeat themselves.  Today’s song was also the song of the day from February 6th, 2009.   It’s “Use Somebody” by Kings of Leon.  On February 6th this is what I had to say about the band.
-  Kings of Leon [...]
