Lohan Makes A Sad: Song of the Day – “Drama Queen” by Lindsay Lohan

Just watching this video made me a bit sad. It seems that the glory days of Lindsay Lohan are long gone and every year we will have to watch her have paranoid freak outs in the public eye. Originally, it was just standard celebrity scandals, with her crashing stolen cars, falling asleep while her secret [...]

Song of the Day – John Hughes Edition

I could not settle on just one song from the epically crafted soundtracks and scores that accompanied the films of John Hughes, so I copped out and put together a Song of the Day collection in honor of Hughes. Hope you enjoy. Anything missing?

Song of the Day – “Gut of the Quantifier” by The Fall

This post punk band had a way with words and making dancey tracks with meaning, really a gift most bands lost after 1993. Please attempt to listen to this song and not do the shuffle. Unfortunately, the quality of the video is lacking, but I love that someone was able to put an [...]

Song of the Day – “Summer Vacation” by The Party

If you were a tween girl in the early 1990’s, odds are you will remember the band The Party. A pop group bred from the Mickey Mouse Club 2.0, they had were the perfect tweeny bopper pop group, with songs about girlfriends, summer vacation and lost love. I was obsessed with them back [...]

Song of the Day – “Heartbreaker” by MSTRKRFT featuring John Legend

Is it possible to dislike John Legend? Besides his soothing voice, he just seems like a hell of a guy. Anyways, I can not get this song out of my head ever and was psyched to see MSTRKRFT on David Letterman last week. The electronic band has been a hit with me [...]

Song of the Day – “The New Nathan Detroit” by Braid

With all this excitement about the Sunny Day Real Estate reunion tour later this year, I can’t help but think of all the fun post-hardcore and pop emo I used to listen to, which brought me to Braid. Please enjoy the simplicity of emo before MTV screwed it up.
