Today's song is by a Scottish dance-punk/post-punk revival group Franz Ferdinand. This song is so brilliant because they have so many tempo changes and play off beat. There is a constant, driving energy that is so infectious! I can listen to this song over and over again because different things pop out from the song. The every part playing in the song is really powerful. Sometimes I when  I am listening to this song, I can't help but dance a little....This so is absolutely brilliant! Today's instrumental song of the day is from Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. Hans Zimmer is a genius, and this song is so energetic and powerful. It follows the Franz Ferdinand song in that it starts out slower and then builds up speed. This song is splendid! I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

tyDi and Benny Benassi

Today's song is by an Australian DJ called tyDi. He started out as a drummer, but then switched to being a DJ so his songs has pretty great drum beats as well. This song has good energy and great vocals! This song is more subdued than usual dance music but it still has a bumping beat. This song is kind of cool because it addresses a huge problem in youth society today. Bullying seems to encompass a lot of adolescent life and this song is kind of an anti bullying message. But the way that tyDi goes about it is really cool. This song definitely has this really nice chill undertone to it. It sounds like something that would belong to an underground club or music scene. There are some darker undertones to it, and even a little bit of psychedelic undertones. This music video fits the undertones of the song not only because of the content, but also the video production. The black and white and grey scale really helps to emphasize the ideas behind the music. tyDi has a way with the elect...

Clubfeet and Tove Lo

Today I have music for you by a band that goes by the name Clubfeet. This song has a really cool sound to it. When you feel like listening to indie style electronic music, this group is one that can satiate your desire, and do it with mad style. Clubfeet is a group which has such a smooth sound to it but the band falls on that psychedelic side of music as well. This song is one that is hard for me to describe because it sounds very familiar in the tonality and melodies but also sounds very original. The track has that independent and unique vibe and sounds that no one else can copy. I am a huge fan of the way the vocals are presented because it is done so with layers. It is never just one voice and one sound you hear from the vocals, but many harmonies and different ways of singing the same lines. Something about that is very much like Imogen Heap's style of vocal layering. I also like the fact that they do maintain the conventional band instruments while also incorporating all...

DJ Provenzano and Calvin Harris

Today's song is from Europe, more specifically, Italy! It is quite interesting because pretty much everyone I talk to are oblivious to Italian music, so I thought this was the best place to put it up! DJ Provenzano created a really catchy tune with this song. This song is pretty awesome because it has a really cool mix of electronic music and the violin. Not going to lie, if you translate the song, you will notice that the song has a really good meaning...or maybe that is me misinterpreting...But anyway, this song has a consistent bass beat and has a really catchy tune, and I really like when it goes into violin mode. DJ Provenzano also provides the voice to this song and I think the vocals are really awesome for this song. These vocals are a little bit higher pitched, but it is at that right pitch so as to provide a complimentary sound to the electronic sounds .When it comes to the style in which this song is produced, there is quite a bit of synth happening but the electronic vio...
