Today's song of the day just makes me feel happy. I want to just party and shout "LOUDER LOUDER" So today's song of the day comes from the New Zealand band Elemeno P (genius name in my opinion).
This weekend we had a party at our house and I was going through a bunch of music for the party. Early in the evening I was listening to some of the Killers new album and I also had a conversation with my cousin about the Killers. We decided that since the Killers have been around, I have hated them and loved them, and everything in between. Its hard to like some of the Killers songs, but others are amazing! Currently I am enjoying Day and Age, and Spaceman is my favorite from the album.
So today's song of the day. Spaceman by the Killers
I know, I know. I'm sure most of you have wondered where the daily song updates have been. And I know for a fact without me, you have no real source of new music, therefore I apologize for my absence.
So what's been up with me and KSDB. W-Hhell, Fake Patty's Day 2009 in Aggieville thats whats been up. Usually its the one event that requires the entire exec staff to help out with, and weeks of planning and preparing. I give a HUGE kudos to Kyle Corbett our promotions director, and Sam Dodge our Underwriting director for the great job they did this year!
Anyways, as far as new music goes. I have a ton of great songs I have come across since "Incridbad" found its way into my mittens.
So I decided I would do a Songs of the Month Spring Break edition. I say spring break edition, because well, tomorrow i'm off to Tampa Bay, where there will be another week absence of tunes. BUT, keep in mind, while you are struggling to find new tunes, I'll be on the beach, watching Tampa Bay lighting Hockey, and The Wailers Play in St. Petersburg.
The first song of the Month comes from my favorite artist, so how could it not be first. Shimmer and Shine Relentless 7 song of the Month #1
Miracles, Jeremy Messersmith Song of the Month # 2
My Night With a Prostitute from Marseille, Beirut Song of the Month # 3
Last week was quite a busy one indeed. Lots going on at The Wildcat 91.9. The pizza giveaway to the fans standing at line at the game, was a success. Unfortunately, being so busy, and having a weekend to myself I didn't have much time to do "Song of the Day." However, I have had lots of time to listen to music this weekend, and plenty of songs to be added at the station.
Today's song of the day came to me via Universal Music Group. Friday, I opened up a package that included the Lonely Island Album: Incredibad. As I was listening to it, I enjoyed many classics, from the SNL Digital Short Videos, such as D**k in a Box, Ras Trent, and J**Z in my Pants.
Space Olympics, was the first song I listened to, that I had not seen the video to. To my amazement, the song ended up being really kick ass. After listening to this song many times over the weekend, we finally watched the video on the DVD that comes with the album...
There isn't anything really New about this song. But i'm making it the song of the day because I heard it the other day, and i've probably listened to it 20 times. Its quite eerie becuase I wrote a song that was JUST like this songs, chord progression, lyrics and everything. So, here's to great minds thinking alike.
Today sitting at work, my cousin Julie sent me a Matisyahu song to listen too titled "I Will Be Light." It reminded me some reason of being at the mall friday to look for some new shoes, and I heard Karma Police playing on the overhead speakers. Only this wasn't Radiohead, it was Citizen Cope's version. I saw Citizen Cope play this live at Wakarusa 2007, pretty much awesomeness.
Today's song of the day I just added to our system over at the station. Today I was listening to this song and I just had to listen to it, again, and then again, and again.
Apology's for the lack of Song of the Day's. This week will be packed full of good stuff.
Today I was sitting at work and a song just, 'ZIP', popped into my head. I had to go listen on Youtube, and I keep listening to the song over and over again.
In light of the Presidency, and the term "Green" being thrown around so often, I thought I would make the song of the day a classic; a constant reminder that we should always be putting humanitarian efforts first. Put the terms "Politics, Lobbying, Media, Corruption, Obama, Bush Administration" aside for just four minutes and listen to this song and think in terms of "Human."
Today's song of the day comes from a band based out of Oklahoma. This Oklahoma City electronic pop band can be compared to sound stylings of MGMT, Hellogoodbye, Owl City, or Jack's Mannequin. LP was just released on iTunes and has sold 500 in first week. They are the current #2 unsigned band in OK, and #3 world wide for "Emotronic" genre on Myspace.
LOVE is a STORY will play at the 2009 SXSW music festival in Austin Texas in March.
Since its mid afternoon on a Friday and I sit here at work anxiously awaiting to go home, I decided I would catch up on finding some hot new music and what better way to check out the Myspace of every band attending SXSW!
Yes indeed it is going to be a difficult task, however I am up for the challenge. I have copied the list created by Bob Boilen and pasted it into a text document on my computer. I started from the top of the list and will take the time from now until SXSW to review all of the bands.
As I just barely scratched through the "A's" I came across this band from Maryland. Their name is ADVENTURE. ADVENTURE sounds just like their name. The 8-bit sounding styling of ADVENTURE blows away any other attempts at Nintendo rock.
Their first song on their Myspace, "Battle Cat." The name and picture next to it was to perfect to not be my song of the day! This song pumps me up like He-Man. "By the Power of Grey Skull!, I HAVE THE POWER!"
Today, I was going through some of the new music to add tomorrow (Friday). Out of all the music I am going to add, this song stuck out the most. I can't stop listening to it. It is really great. I just got the album today, so its time to go home and listen to its entirety. Original single released November 2007. It was then released on August 25, 2008 as a Cd. Made UK top 200 at #12.
Today's song of the day comes from Chris and Thomas. The song is called Broken Chair. Check it out at their myspace http://www.myspace.com/chrisandthomas
"Welcome to my new blog! I decided I needed to continue to do my song of the day to keep me up on my music, however posting to Facebook Notes (although very useful) was a pain. I needed something seperate from facebook. Now here it is.
Reese's Song of the Day will be (try to be) a daily update of a brand new song that makes my "Song of the Day." Sometimes it will be brand new music for the readers to expose themselves to. Other times it might be something you've already heard.
Hope you enjoy."

I Can Make You Feel It - Home Video Song of the Day: January 16, 2009
This song I came across from searching through Terrorbird Records website. They are a bad ass band from Brooklyn. Almost sounds a little like Tome Yorke with a little more Pop and Dance. Regardless, I heard this song "I Can Make You Feel It" and watched some of the band's videos online. Pretty cool stuff.
And since I always present good music that requires you to go out and buy the album. How about downloading this EP for free! Enjoy the video, then download the EP, its that simple! http://www.homevideo.fm/home.html
