6/22/06 Song

Today's song is "Love is Only a Feeling" by the Darkness. I have to credit Jon Rosen for introducing me to this gem. It's basically a kick-ass rock ballad. Complete with wow-that-sounds-an-entire-octive-too-high male singing, ripping guitar solos, and lyrics about love. Here it is...

PS Today was kind of a sad day. It was Annie Kryzanek's last day at Foley. Our team is down one member. I guess all good things come to an end.

Today's song is "Hiro's Song" by Ben Folds. Rockin' the Suburbs is an amazing album, and this song is part of that album. "But Brian, I went to my favorite local record store and picked up the album the day it came out, and yet, I've never heard this song before." Well, that's because it wasn't released on the American version, just the Japanese one. So, the only way you'd have heard it was if you bought the Japanese version, or had been lucky enough to hear it on a radio station cool enough to play it *Cough*WEQX*Cough*. (Or I guess you could have downloaded it at any point during the last 5 years, but I'm trying to be cool here, ok?) Anyway, the song is excellent, and like most Ben Folds songs it tells a pretty funny story. Great lines include "I left my family for the secretary!" I think you'll really like it.

Today's song is "Uncle Penn" by Bill Monroe. It's bluegrass. It's good. I really like it... my only complaint is that Bill Monroe's voice isn't even more nasely. (I'm completely serious, I like the sound of it in bluegrass...) Anyway, listening to different types of music is good for you. You probably haven't heard this song before, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't give it a try. Who knows, you might even like it.

Hey all. World Cup watching has been pretty sweet. USA played well Italy, I got to watch the game at a bar in Cambridge, it was really fun. All the people were going nuts when the USA would do well...

Ok, today's song is a new one for the Chili Peppers. Sure you've heard Dani California, but this one is newer, and better. You may have heard it, if you haven't it'll be on FNX in a week or too.

"Tell Me Baby" from their new album Stadium Arcadium. The chorus is great, the interplay between the bass and the drums is really fun, it's like a cross between rock, James Brown, and P Funk. Nice.
