I’m suuuch a sell-out. Arcade Fire wins a Grammy and thennn I do a post about them. Hipsters are cursing my name as they kick a rock down a poorly paved street with their worn-down Converse sneakers. Okay. Over it. Can we all agree on that? This song did not come to me as an … Continue reading

Song of the day: “Falling Apart” – Matt Nathanson
Listening to DJs Eric and Kathy during my frantic race (if I could highlight “frantic race” and make it size 100 font, I would) to the train station this morning, I learned a bit about Matt Nathanson. Eric informed listeners that Nathanson has to be at least “6 foot billion” and both he and Kathy … Continue reading
Song of the day: “Lately” – Stefano Langone
Maybe I loved this performance because I have an old school obsession with Stevie Wonder. Maybe I clung to it because he delivered a solid performance on American Idol. Or maybe…the sped up version is catchy. Do I prefer the original version? Of course I do, but Langone found a way to make the song … Continue reading
Song of the day: “Everything They Know About Us” – Salteens
A little bit country and a little bit rock and roll might have sounded like an odd mix back in the day but get real, Donny and Marie,…it isn’t that weird. Let’s talk about a new one. How about a little bit Deathcab, a little bit Partridge Family? We’ll let that serve as an adequate … Continue reading
Song of the day: “Where You Are” – Cali Swag District ft. Michael Jackson
This song is a bit of a lie. I heard it at Express the other day (so I technically didn’t find it today) and it’s been stuck in my head ever since. I definitely knew the Michael Jackson portion (duh, what kind of fan would I be if I didn’t) but I couldn’t figure out … Continue reading
Song of the day: “Jolie Coquine” – Caravan Palace
Nothing like a solid, trippy song to start off the week. Today, I wasn’t only introduced to a new song; I was introduced to an entirely new genre: electroswing. Would I normally listen to this type of thing at work? Probably not. Too distracting. Makes me want to dance. How about on a Monday? Nooo … Continue reading
Song of the day: “Fairfax (You’re Still the Same)” – William Tell
Today is Friday, which, in case you didn’t know, is code word for amazing. The weekend is hours away and a lot of us are dancing in our seats, excited to take a brief break from work or school. Naturally, I had hopes of finding a song that mirrored my optimistic and overly excited attitude. … Continue reading
Song of the day: “The First Single” – The Format
With the success of indie bands at The Grammys a couple of weeks ago, it only seems right that a song from an indie group is featured as song of the day. The Format hails from Arizona and are a mix of alternative, indie and punk. In true “hipster” fashion, they chose their name to make … Continue reading
Song of the day: “Turning Tables” – Adele
British singer-songwriter, Adele, released her second album, 21, today and instantly won me over. I wrestled with myself in terms of turning this into an album review rather than song of the day for longer than I’d like to admit…but settled with sticking to my goal of posting a new song each day. (Don’t be … Continue reading
Song of the day: “That Should Be Me,” Justin Bieber and Rascal Flatts
Alright, I’m starting something new. Because my iPod is crying for new music, I’ve decided to take on a new challenge: to discover a new song every day. Hopefully Pandora can help in this endeavor, but I also hope all of you can give suggestions! Consider this to be your challenge, as well. As I … Continue reading
