Keeping It Fresh

Hey guys, I am sorry about last night's post! I was out camping in the woods, so no service. But, I was reading yesterday's post, and I can't help but wonder why I sounded the way I did. But today's song is by an incredible band by the name Arcade Fire. One thing that I love about this band is the fact that the vocalizations are dialed back. They aren't louder than the overall music, which is something very unique. It puts so much more emphasis on the musicianship and I find that to be brilliant. I think the soft vocals add to the depth in the lyrics. This is a fantastic band, and one worth checking out! Today's instrumental song is by a band called The Clash. This song used to be pretty popular, so some of you may have heard it before. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

I know I recently posted a Bollywood song, but this one is just too damn catchy to let go. This song took me so long to find because I had heard it a couple times before and loved it, but never seen the movie the song is in. I was totally lost on trying to find it after two years, until Youtube saved the day! So yay for Youtube. Anyway, this song has an awesome energy and I love how it transitions from one beat to an even faster paced one. So basically, a kick ass dance song! Today's instrumental song is another pretty energetic song. Its another great song to dance to, especially for my Indians out there and our dandiya raas. Lets have another yay for cultural stuff! I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

I don't know why, but I was really feeling some older music today. So, I have a little from the always phenomenal Frank Sinatra. The ultimate stud and charmer! This song in particular is named after one of the greatest cities around the world. What I love about this song is that the music captures the feeling you would get if you were thrown back into the 20's and saw New York for the first time. There is that special energy that comes with not only swing and jazz, but with singing about something incredible. Today's instrumental probably falls under the romantic side of music. But, it is still an amazing song and just so classy! I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

Today's song is by such an incredible band, Blue October. I saw then today at a small CD signing, and their performance was simply amazing. There is this underlying brilliance in their music, with rock and classical influences that come together to create the greatness that is their music. I have to say, this is one band that actually sounds as good live as they do in recordings. This is a great band, and all the members are awesome people! Check them out! Today's instrumental song is from the movie Tron Legacy. This also has some heavy classical influences, infused with electronic sounds to create a masterpiece. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

So today's song comes from a teenager who is absolutely astonishing and has such a unique voice. Jake Bugg, who is only 19, is one of the most awe striking musicians I have had the pleasure to hear. I know his music style might not be what floats your boat, but you cannot deny the pure talent this kid has! He has a strong voice with such a Southern twang, almost like Bob Dylan. He is so musically gifted, and it is just absolutely brilliant! At just 19, he has the ability to sing and write songs such as this, and perform them so well! Today's instrumental song is from the show Bonanza. I know it is an old show, but I thought this song would go well with Bugg's. And yes, I have seen some episodes of the show and am not using random songs willy nilly. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

I honestly don't know what kind of music I was feeling today, so when in doubt, look to weird music! Today's song is awesome collaboration by Calvin Harris and Dillon Francis, so I think it is safe to tell you that this song kicks some major ass. The beat and overall sound is just so sick, and the rapping just adds to the brilliance that is this song. This song is just so damn great! Today's instrumental song is a remix done by Flosstradamus, and all I can say is holy shit. Just turn up your beats and volume because this is going to be pretty epic. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

Today I have music for you from the always incredible, Don Omar! His music can always get me up and dancing, even if its just a little swaying or full out salsa. This song is has some typical Latino beats, but it has been infused with a great techno sound to create a new style of Latin music. I enjoy this song so much and it has been masterfully composed! Today's instrumental song is by the German DJ who goes by the name Tensnake. What I find so intriguing about this song is the use of techno sounds, but also traditional sounds from many different cultures. This song has a distinct reggae sound to it as well, which is just sick! I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!
