Brand New :: I Will Play My Game Beneath The Spin Light
So today i just pulled up the ole' Itunes and hit the shuffle button.
This came up. Sort of. This band came up, and i chose this song to share instead of the shuffled song.
I like this band a lot, they range from pop punk to indie punk all with heavy emo overtones (whatever that all means).
But they are a guilty pleasure, i just really enjoy them, always have.
No fun factoids about them though, I'm to lazy to wikipedia them, and I don't know anything off the top of my head, just read the YouTube comments, I'm sure there is something!

(8) Green Day :: Hitchin' A Ride
Green Day :: Hitchin' A Ride
or THIS live link if the above is broken (as the above may be copyright infringement).
So this post means 1 week has passed... 7 songs.
Last night i thought i knew what song i was gonna use for today, but then at work i got pounded with some great 90's jams that really drudged up some nostalgia.
Sometime between 2000-2002 (i don't remember) i saw Green Day and the Living End in concert and they put on a kick ass show.
Only show I've ever been to where the band (Green Day) stopped mid way through a song when they saw someone fall over in the pit and got the guys around to help the person up. It was a beautiful sort of punk rock camaraderie (or something like that).
This song is one of my favorites, and in my honest opinion really exemplifies the Green Day style, before they got overtly political (ie. Anti-Bush) in their music.
Which I of course prefer, because come on, who wants to hear about politics everywhere... including in your 'me time' music?

Esthero :: Heaven Sent
I don't know jack about this artist.
She's Canadian (so says wikipedia).
She's "trip-hop", a term i often use to describe jazzy electronic mellow music.
This song rocks though!
One of my favorites of all time.
She has some other tunes that are good... but this one is leagues above the rest, as far as I'm concerned.

(6) The White Stripes :: Hotel Yorba
The White Stripes :: Hotel Yorba
So, I'm a big White Stripes fan, if you didn't know.
One of the few good contemporary bands that are well known (even if not well loved) in the main stream.
Hotel Yorba is off of their White Blood Cells album and is a terrific little number.
It's upbeat and catchy.
Learn to love it, more from the White Stripes next month to be sure.

(5) Diana Krall :: Peel Me A Grape
Diana Krall :: Peel Me A Grape (Live)
My father turned me on to Diana Krall, and thanks to that i got the pleasure of seeing her perform live. She is fantastic.
I hated this song when i was a "pre-teen" ... wasn't fond of the 'whipped' mentality of the song.
But now ... it's just a sexy song.
The link for this song is a live rendition, it's a little quite on the audio so you'll need to adjust your volume more then normal to enjoy it. Loud is always better as far as I'm concerned.

(4) Junior Kimbrough :: Lord, Have Mercy On Me
Junior Kimbrough :: Lord, Have Mercy On Me
This blues tune from Junior is stunningly haunting. It's just under 10 minutes and never feels long enough.
I first heard this song from a Black Keys cover, which is amazing. But i wanted to share the original in all it's splendor.
I could play it on repeat all day and just sit, and listen.

I love this song.
I can't help it.
Call it a guilty pleasure.
It reminds me of every Corn Fest I've ever been to.
