Well it’s September now. The site had a pretty good month last month. You guys have been faithfully keeping up with the site even when I can’t update it…so thank you very much.
It’s also Wednesday which means I’m tossing some downloads your way. Here is some candy to feed your ears.
#1. “Assistant to the Regional Manager” by The Devil Wears Prada off of With Roots Above And Branches Below. I’m really in to The Devil Wears Prada now and I’m completely okay with that. I think that With Roots Above is the best of their three albums [Plagues (2007) & Dear Love: A Beautiful Discord (2006)] but I haven’t listened to all of A Beautiful Discord yet. This is one of my favorite songs from them. —> Download!
#2. “Holiday From Real (Live from SIR)” by Jack’s Mannequin off of The Glass Passenger. I love Jack’s Mannequin. I’m a big fan of Something Corporate. And I think Andrew McMahon might be one of my heroes [he had intense throat cancer, was told he'd never speak again let alone sing, and he fully recovered]. This song is really great, and it makes you think. —> Download!
#3. “Summertime” by Mae off of Destination: Beautiful. I felt this song was fitting. Goodbye Summer ‘09…I’d be fine with you never coming back.
—> Download!
#4. “This Is Who We Are” by Hawthorne Heights off of If Only You Were Lonely. I figured I’d give a throw back to some old (sort of) Emo music. Enjoy kiddies and reminisce to the days when painting your nails black and wearing black hooded sweatshirts was considered cool and socially acceptable. —> Download!
#5. “Summer of ‘98″ by The Secret Handshake off of One Full Year. I love this song. You will too. —> Download!
#6. “Crunchy Black Did Me In At Midnight” by The Tony Danza Tap Dance Extravaganza off of The Electric Boogaloo. My dear friend Terence got me in to Tony Danza Tap Dance Extravaganza a few months ago on our way to Best Buy. This isn’t my favorite song by them by any stretch of the imagination, but this song is still pretty legit. —> Download!
#7. “California Love” by Tupac off of 15 Years On Death Row. I first heard this song as a cover done by My American Heart [on the Punk Goes Crunk album] and then a few days later, I heard it on the radio in all of its Tupac glory. I like that he mentions practically every city in California, almost like a geography lesson. Thanks Mr. Shakur. —> Download!
#8. “10 Signs You Should Leave” by Emmure off of Goodbye To The Gallows. I just started getting in to Emmure. This is the song Kelly suggested first and it got me interested…so I figured I’d try the same. Enjoy? —> Download!
And possibly one of the bands I’m most excited about discovering…
#9. “Comfortably Confused” by I See Stars off of 3-D. I’ll tell you all about I See Stars in an upcoming post, don’t you worry. Just download the song, and don’t ask questions. Enjoy. —> Download!
Well that’s the list for the week. I hope you enjoy. I tried to get a little better mix this time around. [SOMEONE complained about the same bands being on there repeatedly...which I guess could get annoying.] Anyway, enjoy.
Cody.
My next post…
I kind of want to talk about Gay Marriage…but it isn’t really music related. Should I talk about it?
Most def. It is your blog so you can talk about whatever you want
.
Thank you sir. Did you download a song?
i say do it. you’re great at writing about music but i know that your well thought out rants are amazing. and about the same bands being on here, oh well, if a band is good then they should be posted more than once. some people might not like one song by them you post so it’s like you’re giving your readers a second chance with a new song, thank you for being so thoughtful my good sir.
It’s great to have such adoring fans as yourself
I have not yet downloaded any of the songs. I’ve been planning on getting on here to download your favorites, ap assignments have gotten in the way. I do enjoy reading your thoughts about different music. It is almost like you are reviewing the song, but you don’t sound like a critic. Keep it up =D
Well I try to do new ones every week. Thanks for keeping up with it though.
you definitely forgot to add on any song off of ( or the whole album) aim and ignite by fun. that should be added into your list.
If you look, I talked about the album like a month ago.
i love comfortably confused ^_^ annd as for the hawthorne heights song, i personally prefer ohio is for lovers. but that’s just me. ^____^
