Song of the Day: Trophy Scars – “Angels”


A friend had been pushing me to listen to this band for some time but based on the name I assumed it was some shitty scream-metal-rock band he's into. After finally giving this track a shot, I was sold. The guys voice is awesome, the lyrics are quality and this song in particular is quite moving. It tells the story of young love and all it's innocence. It makes me jealous I was so shy and socially disabled that I never had these feelings and experiences. On the EP, Never Born, Never Dead,  "Angels" is followed by "Never Dead" which tells end of relationship story which is not as happy but is just as touching.

B-b-b-b-b-bonus: Any LOST fans will surely enjoy the last 30 seconds or so of this track with a emotional moment from that show. You get me, brother?

Song of the Day: Pixies – “Debaser”


This song needs no introduction. If you think it does that means you probably haven't listened to it so just stop reading this nonsense and listen to the song. "Debaser" comes off Doolittle, a little late 80's alternative rock album that could. As you can see on its Wikipedia page, it is HIGHLY regarded.

Song of the Day: Jack White – “Freedom At 21″

Jack White's 2012 album Blunderbuss has made a few top of lists this year. Recently I have finally giving it a fair shot and can say I am enjoying it immensely. If you have ever liked Jack in any form you'll get a kick out of Blunderbuss.

Here is the video for "Freedom At 21", the second single from Blunderbuss. It's fast. It's sexy. It's a great song. Give it a listen, and if you like it check out the full album!

 

Listen and watch "Sixteen Saltines" also from Blunderbuss.

Song of the Day: Modest Mouse – “Florida”


Modest Mouse Dead Before Ship Sank

Buy We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank

We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank is in my top 2 most played albums, and quite possibly the most. It's singable, the lyrics are relevant (to me) and poignant, and there is not one song on it that I dislike. I know I'm in the Modest Mouse fan minority, but this album is their best. If you have never listened to it, you can on Youtube right here. So you have no excuse, unless you have a life. That one might be acceptable.

Take a listen to "Florida" and if you like it listen to the full album on Youtube, or click that image over there and buy it on Amazon.
