Song of the Day: April 29, 2012
Of Monsters and Men - “Little Talks”

This song isn’t really new but it’s been stuck in my head all day. Song of the day has lost some of its consistency with finals but I’ll still try and post periodically. Anyways this is a great band from Iceland & they have some really catchy songs.

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis – Wings

I’ve got to be honest; I didn’t know who these guys were until recently. These guys aren’t like most rap you’re hearing these days (IN A GOOD WAY). Ben Haggerty, known to us as Macklemore, is the rapper and main character or narrator in many of his videos and works with producer Ryan Lewis.

AAAAAnd I’ll be posting another video or two by Macklemore & Lewis today because… well, I can. And I’m excited to see this group perform on SATURDAY!

Anberlin – “Paperthin Hymn”

After five studio albums, one extended play, one compilation album and seven singles, Anberlin is still rockin! “Paperthin Hymn” is one of their classic oldies that is sure to make most fan-filled crowds start singing along at the top of their lungs!

Young London – “Let Me Go”

“Bostonian based duo of Matt Rhodes and Sarah Graziani, Young London is a mix of pop with a bit of a retro sound, thrown in with some 90’s reminiscing tunes.” (article here) They also cover The Buggles’ 80s hit “Video Killed the Radio Star.”
