Armada Latina

Ok, well I'm double posting because I've been busy recently, and because I want to show you this song before it gets ruined by the radio overplaying it. Enjoy this for a week before it gets horrible!

The Start of Something Good

I've loved this song for years

When You Walk In The Room

This one definitely needs volume. The energy from the piano drop in the intro can carry you through the rest of the song. Definitely something you want in your music library.

Jai Paul!

I like it, I love it, more, MORE! Seriously though, this is some heavy electro awesomeness. Not for everyone, but if it's for you you're gonna love it.

Back to Back

Less posts this week as I am in Newport Beach, CA for spring break. That being said, I can NOT get enough of Wolf Gang. I just fell in to my own world so hard listening to the song Back to Back that I had to pick up my computer to post it. I love the little guitar riff paired with the falsetto hammered home by the deep piano. A lot of bands can produce one good single, but every song I've heard by Wolf Gang has been memorable.

Mrs. Love

Despite the low production quality, this Beatles sampling jam still carries some good energy.

Sweet Mary

Sometimes what you need is a really romantic reggae song.

Strawberry Swing

If you missed this amazing music video by Coldplay you should definitely check it out now. If you missed the amazing song Strawberry Swing altogether then prepare for that spark of existence you once called your life to turn into a full blown forest fire.

True Faith

This video is so awesome that in 1982 it was nominated for best picture at the Academy Awards. It was just barely edged out by "Gandhi".

More Alex Metric

This song is what turned me onto Alex Metric. A lot of the cool cutting that he does as a DJ is on the deeper parts of the track so to get the full effect use nice headphones or speakers with bass. I've got a ton of songs I want to post but having a hard time finding good media on the internets to do it with.



Also, I love classic rock and I've been stuck on I Know What I Know by Paul Simon lately.

The Sound of Arrows

This song is ancient for music blog fiends, but the point of this blog is not meant to pander to them. It definitely isn't as widespread as it deserves to be.

Functioning People

This song is in the same vein as the Fool's Gold song I posted a little while ago. It has the appeal of stoner Jam bands like Phish or Sublime mixed with that indie twang that everybody enjoys these days. As spring approaches you'll need more songs for those sunny outdoor hangouts and this is definitely one of those songs.

No video, but if you need more convincing evidence that this song is worth the download the tagline from the band's myspace is "Like Nickelback but less ballsy"

Stylo Remix

I'm loving Alex Metric right now. It builds slowly but so, so well.

Everyday

I like this song and you probably will too. Has some good bass so needs nicer speakers.

This Is What You Get

I love reggae that can slow your life down. Great cover.

Energy for Monday

This song never fails to bring the energy. As always, volume is key.
