Our Love Has Made Us Pariahs

First off, let me say, I thought that I was the only one who paid attention to this blog of mine, but apparently not. I've got some surprising and flattering responses and I just want to say thanks so much for the support, my goal is to get great artists & music more recognition like they deserve. Now onto the song of the day - I had to upload this one on youtube aswell due to only live versions that were found. I have never met another person who listens to 'Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate)' (what a mouthful, hey?) yet I think a lot more people should, I've listened to this song more times then I can count. I really do love it. Once again, thanks for reading and listening and I do not support illegal downloading! All songs are either purchased from iTunes or various music stores. December 9th, 2009.

Simple

Sound familiar? Well this is the treat I've been saving for you guys. Not the exact song I wanted to showcase, but this one is pretty fantastic aswell. Anyways, if this singer sounds familiar to you, it's because it's 'Andy Yorke', and no, it's not a coincidence, he is the brother of Thom Yorke from Radiohead. I originally wanted to have the song 'Revolution' by 'The Unbelievable Truth' which is the band that Andy Yorke is in - this though is his solo work. This song is titled perfectly, because the song itself is quite simple making it very relaxing to listen to. I hope you like what I've searched around for! December 8th, 2009.

Beautiful Mess

Wow, I don't know why I didn't post 'The Cloud Room' sooner. I have liked them for a little while now. I still need to get around to posting that very special treat, most likely will do that tomorrow. Back on topic, a friend and I think that the singer of 'The Cloud Room' sounds a lot like Seth Green. I guess we're the only ones that think so, because anyone else that I've explained this to does not agree with me at all. So post if you agree or disagree, and listen to more songs by The Cloud Room because they really are an awesome band. Actually, they've even toured with two bands on here I've already posted: Muse & Patrick Wolf (not together of course, that would be mind-blowing). Decemeber 7th, 2009.

All Love

I was introduced to 'Ingrid Michealson' a couple years ago by a friend. Borrowed the C.D. because at that time it was really hard to get ahold of, and now she's gotten quite big. You've most likely heard her songs before on commercials, T.V. shows and the like. I actually know a guy who met Ingrid and said she was a very cool gal, really down to earth, which is always nice to know when you admire an artist. She is definitely a person to look up to.

Perfect In Between

Okay so this isn't the song I had planned for today, I could not find an audio clip of it on youtube, but I promise to upload it once I'm back at home (since I'm currently out of town and do not have access to the C.D.) Either way, this song is still a good one by 'DJ Champion', another great Canadian band from Montreal. I love the way the guitar sounds a bit heavy / dark, yet there isn't any grindcore vocals which I was expecting when I first heard this song. Once again, I promise the very special song for your awaiting ears either on Sunday or Monday's blog. December 5th, 2009.

Swans

So apparently this song is on 'Grey's Anatomy', which I wouldn't know due to the fact that I don't really watch T.V. Either way, I still really like this song by 'Unkle Bob' and sort of reflects me right now - if it were being written to me. They currently only have one full album, called 'Sugar and Spice' but I sure wish there were more from this fantastic U.K. band. They've been compaired to Radiohead aswell, though I certainly see no similarites. Hope you guys like this one from Unkle Bob, and there is a treat for tomorrow's post. December 4th, 2009.

You Were the Last High

A friend of mine believes that the beginning of this song is what it would sound like to be abducted by aliens...well in that case I guess this picture works quite well with this song. Anyways, I really enjoy 'The Dandy Warhols' because I find their music to be both pretty relaxing & soothing to listen to. You might recognize them from a performance they did on Saturday Night Live (even though I actually am sad to admit that I didn't think that was one of their better performances). Their song 'Bohemian Like You' was actually voted #85 this year in the Triple J Hottest 100 of All Time. That sounds very impressive to me! December 3rd, 2009.
