It's about that time

It's just about 2:45am right now. So what better song to give you all than Elliott Smith's 2:45am?

Elliott Smith - 2:45 AM

if only you were lonely

Hello all! Today I shall share a nice song to get depressed and drink to, everyone's favorite activity! Bring the kids along! I'm just getting into this band, The Replacements (a punk/post-punk/indie band from the 80s for those that don't know), and this song is apparently a b-side or some kind of rarity. Check it out. btw, if anyone actually reads this blog, feel free to comment or share your blog. It's hard to tell if anyone actually looks at this.

The Replacements - If Only You Were Lonely

And in case your not in the depressed drinking mood...listen to this?

back!

Alright, so it's been quite some time since I last updated this blog. But now that it's summer and I'm still looking for a job, I have a lot of free time on my hand and figured I would start updating again. So without further wait...I present to you....a rare song from one of the world's greatest bands....RADIOHEAD!!!


I saw that Radiohead sticker above in Boston about a year ago and was very excited to see the public support. But anyway, the song I'm sharing is my favorite song off of the second disk of in rainbows b-sides which many people don't have. It's a very emotional, slow, piano driven song that kind of reminds me of their song "True Love Waits" as far as the way Thom Yorke sings it. Check it out below, it's called "Last Flowers." Also, make sure to see Radiohead on their summer tour!

Radiohead - Last Flowers

hey hey hey!

I've been in a very reflective mood tonight, and with that in mind, I figured I'd share not just one, not just two, but an unprecedented 3 songs that remind me of the past, songs from the band that has been there with me the longest, weezer. The casual weezer fan likely doesn't know about the amount of awesome b-sides and demos they have in their catalog, so the songs I'm sharing are three weezer b-sides. The first is a blue album b-side and the other two are pinkerton b-sides. Speaking of weezer, their new album will be coming on June 24th and you can stream the new single on their website, so check that out also. Maybe, just maybe, it will be a return to the weezer glory days...

Weezer - Jamie

Weezer - You Gave Your Love to Me Softly

Weezer - Waiting on You

two days in a row, what more could you want!

You the reader of this may remember earlier in my music blogging career when I shared a song by the band Sea Wolf. Today's song is from the band Irving, whom the singer of Sea Wolf is also in. As where Sea Wolf is very mellow and acoustic, Irving is much more upbeat, poppy, and synthy. So check 'em out!

Irving - The Gentle Preservation of Children's Minds

Also, everyone should check out Ben Gibbard's (Death Cab for Cutie, Postal Service) new side project, "Just Jazzin."

back in action

I have no idea if anyone actually looks at this blog, but regardless, I shall pick up the slack and start updating this more often. Today's treat is some classic indie rock in the form of the band Pavement. This band is extremely influential and a great example of a band that never sold out out despite having some commercial potential. I have a really cool documentary about them, so if anyone that knows me is interested, you can borrow it. It's called "Slow Century." This is from their first and best album, Slanted and Enchanted.

Pavement - In the Mouth of a Desert

rock me momma like a wagon wheel

The song I'm sharing today has an interesting story. The chorus of the song was originally written by Bob Dylan, but the song was never finished. The band Old Crow Medicine Show ended up taking the chorus and writing a few verses to go along with it, creating the song "Wagon Wheel." The version I'm sharing is an Against Me! cover of that song. Enjoy!
