Song of the Day: Unsteady by X Ambassadors

Music is at its best when the lyrics and the actual notes can instantly stir up emotions. Maybe I am just more in tune to songs/feelings/sentiments at certain times in life, but Unsteady by X Ambassadors is the tune that makes me stop every time I hear it. X Ambassadors recently hit mainstream media when their song “Renegade” was featured in a Jeep commercial. I got … Continue reading Song of the Day: Unsteady by X Ambassadors

Cool Tune Tuesday- A Taste of Silver – UTRB

I can’t work when it is quiet so constantly have something playing, listening to music all day long. Every once in awhile a song instantly grabs my attention and I stop working and see who it is.  That happened just now with  A Taste of Silver by the band Until the Ribbon Breaks. I immediately listened to it 5 times in a row and sought … Continue reading Cool Tune Tuesday- A Taste of Silver – UTRB

Today’s track of the day comes from Irish rockers Kodaline.  I first heard them in 2012 when their song “All I Want” hit the British charts.  The video (s)  made me cry and the song was eventually featured in Google’s 2012 Year In Review (which is a wicked cool thing I … Continue reading Track of the Day: Ready by Kodaline

Track of the Day: The Ground Walks with Time in a Box by Modest Mouse

After taking 8 years off, Modest Mouse is back, releasing Stranger to Ourselves last week.  They have such a distinctive sound, thanks to lead singer Issac’s Brock voice which is at once stilty and  smooth.  And while the first two singles that were released are classic Modest Mouse, I like this one because it is a bit funkier with this great base line with echos of … Continue reading Track of the Day: The Ground Walks with Time in a Box by Modest Mouse

Track of the Day: 5 Years Time by Noah and the Whale

This is not a new song, but every once in awhile you need to hear a happy go-lucky song with a ukele.  And as someone with an active imagination I really appreciate the lines: Although maybe all these moments are just in my head I’ll be thinking ‘bout them as I’m lying in bed And all that I believe, it might not even come true But … Continue reading Track of the Day: 5 Years Time by Noah and the Whale
