SOTD 11/23: I love this video. A LOT.

SOTD 11/18: Swedish pop song with Sambassadeur

I got nothing for you on this one - outside of what the always awesome Captain's Dead says: they might be Swedish. They have a new album called European. and this song is a catchy chunk of pop music. It's not for everyone, but I just spent 4.5 hours in a car, so it's perfect for soothing my road rage.

SOTD 11/13: The Features....what you turn to when the Bears let you down

Another epic fail by the Monsters of the Midway pushes me to find solace in the beauty of music, so while surfing around I landed at perennially awesome site I Am Fuel, You Are Friends and came across The Features. The horns and wide open whaling on cymbals gives me a Neutral Milk Hotel vibe, but they stand on their own as a kickass band. This song, Thursday, helped break me out of my Bears induced funk. Not saying it completely got rid of the 5 interception Cutler implosion, but it's helped...

SOTD 11/5: Slow Down, Molasses...that's what I feel like right now...

Many thanks to Quick Before It Melts for today's find, which, appropriately enough, seems to mirror the pace of posting around here lately...slowed down...but that's cause work has changed a bit and things are just stupid busy right now - but worth the work. Slow Down, Molasses is another in a long line of stellar Canuck bands that continue to surprise me.

This song is long, nearly 7 minutes, and you know what? I don't think I could pick out a piece of it that doesn't belong here. Think old school Vulgar Boatmen for you oldsters like me, maybe the Feelies, with a dash of Broken Social Scene or some Elephant Six bands like Beulah layered over the top. You like that kinda thing? You're gonna love this...
