Song of the Day 10/20/09
Sloan - Take It Upon Yourself
I like this song. It's a light, lo-fi pop song by Sloan, the Canadian Oasis. Seriously, they're huge up North. Even bigger than Barenaked Ladies. Which, as we all well know, is a huge deal. I really liked their 2006 single "Who Taught You To Live Like That?" and the album it comes from Never Hear The End of It was very ELO-esque. But this song is nothing like that; it's like a throwback to the 90's when they were throwingback to the 60's. Woh.

Tabula Rasa
I finally kicked Blondie out, and helped her set up her own blog, so I could have mine back. Check it out: iamblondie.blogspot.com
As for me, I'm going to try to steer this space back to it's roots: my photography, recommended music, and strange tales of living in the City. So hopefully tomorrow I can get you some of all three.
Until then, enjoy this Song of the Day. It took me going to Hawaii and DC to get into a hometown anthem, but Jay-Z's new single "Empire State of Mind" is just fuckin' great. I missed NYC a whole helluva lot, and it's great to be back in the City with the Giants rolling and Fall just beginning to hit. I'm not a hip-hop guy at all (shocking, I know), but I can't argue against a pop gem because of genre:

Goodnight Saigon - Billy Joel
Just an amazing song, with a certain amount of humor because of how heavy-handed it is (as highlighted by last Saturday's SNL sketch). Enjoy.

Song of the Day 4/22/09
Rilo Kiley - The Frug
I had this song stuck in my head when I woke up (way too damn early, as Willie Giest would say). It's from RK's debut album The Initial Friend EP, and I think it's very much a throwaway song about outdated dance moves. But it showcases Jenny Lewis' incredibly sexy voice, paired with some purposely suggestive lyrics. Plus, she's a gorgeous redhead, so you know how I feel.

The Strokes - 12:51
This song was released as the first single off of Room On Fire, the Strokes' second album. It kind of fits with this shitty weather; some good synth rock pop. Not my fav song by them, but it's a good one today.

Song of the Day 4/17/09
Ben Folds - Where's Summer B?
And it keeps getting nicer out. In honor of the temps reaching the 70's in NYC, a little Ben Folds lamenting the return of the warmth (or is it a friend named Summer B?)

Steely Dan - Change of the Guard
A nice transition song to bring us into the sunshine and warm weather (hopefully). From their debut 1972 album Cant Buy A Thrill, a lesser known, but decidedly Steely, pop nugget. I'm sure some moronic politician at one point had tried to co-op this song for his campaign, but thankfully it's not known for that. Enjoy.
[side note: if you're ever bored at work, which most of you are, and want to get that Chuck Kolstermann-ish feeling of "this is either genius or complete insanity," check out steelydan.com and click away]
