Song of the Day: Warpaint – Billie Holiday

I’m a little behind on this one, I know. A lovely little song from a lovely little band called Warpaint. And an acoustic live version:

Song of the Day: Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros – 40 Day Dream

I have a feeling that Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros are life’s soundtrack. I used to think it was just me. I’d listen, hum throughout the day, smile, and think, “Yeah. This is totally playing in the soundtrack of my life.” It’s not just me, though. This ensemble seems to take a little piece [...]

Song of the Day: Fleet Foxes – White Winter Hymnal

The world here in Missoula is covered with a thick, dampening layer of snow. Plodding my way to the car this morning wearing sixteen layers and my trusty Uggs, I knew “White Winter Hymnal” could be the only real Song of the Day today. The song itself creates such beautiful imagery. Good morning, winter. White [...]

Song of the Day: The Twilight Sad – I Became a Prostitute

I am completely brain dead today, so I don’t have much to say. Enjoy the song, though! I Became a Prostitute – The Tw…

Song of the Day: Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Heads Will Roll

My first listen of this song really impressed upon me how very Wonderland-esque the whole imagery is. Sure enough, doing the dishes a few weeks ago I heard it on in a commercial, and I have to admit… It is just PERFECT in Syfy’s “Alice” trailer. I like Karen O and I’ve always sort of [...]

Song of the Day: Doves – Kingdom of Rust

I’d like to show a little UK love today. I didn’t realize this was on Zombieland (which was pretty hilarious by the by) until about 5 minutes ago, but it’s my favorite from the Doves 2009 album, also titled Kingdom of Rust. I have a quiet fascination with all things steampunk, and just thinking of [...]

Song of the Day (Bonus Edition): New Moon Soundtrack

I feel like I would be completely remiss not to mention the “New Moon” soundtrack at some point this week, and since I make the rules here, I’d say a holiday is the perfect reason. It’s probably going to be another controversy post somewhere down the road, but at face value it’s a really lovely [...]

Song of the Day: Margot & the Nuclear So and So’s – Brand New Key

When this amazing 7″ vinyl single showed up from the lovely Krissi, I almost wet myself in excitement. I have always been very fond of the original version by Melanie, but this soft remix is absolutely amazing. I’ve had it on repeat for weeks. After all, some people say I’ve done alright for a girl. [...]

Song of the Day: Islands – No You Don’t

I am so very bummed that I was too sick to see this show. Sorry, guys! “No You Don’t” is from the September 2009 release, Vapours. No You Don’t – Islands Check them out on myspace!
