Song of the Day March 30th

Song of the Day is:

"Little Lion Man" by Mumford and Sons

Mumford and Sons is an English indie folk band out of London. This is the first song I have by them and I want to look into them more. I like their sound it reminds me of a band and I cannot remember their name. I'll find it and get back to it. But they have a new CD called Sigh No More that released Feb. 16, 2010 so its fairly new and I just checked it out and so should you. This son just stood out to me and its beautiful. I think they remind me of the singer Glen Hansard from the movie and soundtrack Once. That's just my opinion.

The Song of the Day is:

"Psychotic Girl" by The Black Keys

This song reminds me of an emo Spoon or Rooney kind of. Not as beach rock like Spoon and Rooney are but their music reminds me of them, maybe a little bit of Beck in there too. I don't know... anyways. This song is from the Black Keys 2008 album called "Attack and Release". Other good songs from this album are "I got mine", "Lies" and "So he won't break". These Akron, Ohio boys havent come out with a recent cd but when they do be sure to check it out. They have an awesome sound that combines rock, blues and garage all in one.

"Lights and Music" by Cut Copy

Cut Copy is a synthapop band from Melborne, Austrailia. They have an electropop alternative dance sound that can sound 80's-ish but is really unique. They have been together since 2001 to the present and are still coming out with songs. I love some of their other songs like "Feeling Love" and "Hearts on Fire". I think they have a great relaxing but unique sound which makes them so alluring and different. The sound they offer up isn't like many others and I love that.

"October" by Broken Bells

(A youtube link to the song)

The Broken Bells are an American Indie Rock/Alternative Rock band that consist of two guys, Danger Mouse (real name Brian Burton) and James Mercer, WHO use to be the lead vocalist for the indie band The Shins who I loveeeee. I didn't know that was him until I looked their new album up and then I thought, "No wonder I love them, he was in the Shins". They signed with Columbia Records in 2009 and have been working together since 2008 when they met at a Danish Music festival and decided to work together. They are great. They describe their sound as "melodic, but experimental too". Like I said their new cd just came out on March 9th, 2010 and it's full of great indie rock songs. I love "October" but I also love "The High Road", "The Ghost Inside" and "Vaporize".

"Electrikery" by Just Jack
(not available on mixpod.com)

Just Jack, I saluted him a while back but I recently have been playing him a lot. He really is the male Lily Allen. He has this garage hip hop sound that makes him have this edgy hip hop/rap style that isn't common which is why he is so great. Check him out though all of his songs are amazing, especially, "Embers", "Starz in their Eyes", "The Day I Died", "Disco Friends" and "Writer's Block".
