I’ve been told that one of the big appeals of country music is the storytelling. Here The Raconteurs tap into a bit of that to in this closing track to their second album, Consolers of the Lonely.
#songoftheday: 3 Doors Down – Kryptonite
As a comic book nerd in high school, I thought this song was absolute genius. It’s also another example of that classic 90’s Alt-Rock accent that so many rock singers of the era had (Creed, Seven Mary Three, Live, etc…)
#songoftheday: Deniece Williams – Let’s Hear It For The Boy
Fact: It’s impossible to hear this song and not have a dance montage playing in your head.
#songoftheday: Bad Religion – Inner Logic
Getting to the credits in Crazy Taxi, and hearing this song, was one of my proudest video game achievements.
#songoftheday: Vampire Weekend – Giving Up The Gun
An ode to getting back in the game.
#songoftheday: HAIM – Falling
I’m a big fan of how HAIM managed to really capture that ’80s power ballad feel in this song, while adding just the right mix of modern dance pop.
#songoftheday: J. Englishman – More
A deep cut from Big Shiny Tunes 5.
#songoftheday: Spice Girls – Never Give Up On The Good Times
This might just be the most upbeat song the Spice Girls ever released, and that’s really saying something.
#songoftheday: David Bowie – Soul Love
I feel like the saxophone solo’s due for a comeback in rock music.
#songoftheday: The Kooks – Forgive & Forget
The Kooks haven’t even released their new album, and this is already the 4th single from it. I’m really liking what I’m hearing so far though.
