iPod Suggestions/Ear Candy will officially start being posted on Mondays now. It didn’t make any sense to give you music suggestions for the week…at the end of the week. This can also coincide with #musicmondays on Twitter. Enjoy!
This weeks list took me a long time to figure out for some reason. I’m not sure why. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this week’s music.
#1. “Get Up” by Mayday Parade off of Anywhere But Here. The song I really wanted to post…probably would have just been awkward, so I’ll post this one. This is off their new album, and it is really catchy. I’ll post a review of Anywhere But Here tomorrow…when I am legally allowed to have it. Enjoy “Get Up” —> Download!
I didn't say anything about Alesana this week...but I love this album cover.
#2. “There’s No Penguins In Alaska” by Chiodos off of All’s Well That Ends Well. I’ve been on a really big Chiodos kick lately. I got all three of the Chiodos albums this weekend when I was in Delaware and All’s Well That Ends Well is probably my favorite one [although Bone Palace Ballet is growing on me]. I also really like the name of this album, its awesome. Enjoy “There’s No Penguins In Alaska” —> Download!
#3. “Swing, Swing” by The All-American Rejects off of their debut album, The All-American Rejects. I have always loved this song, and this band. I don’t care what sort of stigma exists with being a fan of this band, they have always been really good. This song is just a really great piece of music. I think you’ll like it, if you already don’t. Enjoy “Swing, Swing” —> Download!
#4. “So Peter, You’ve Become A Pirate” by The Scene Aesthetic off of Building Homes From What We’ve Known. What could you possibly hate about a song with a title involving adopting a life of freedom and piracy. You know who hates pirates? The devil, Hitler, Ted Bundy, and every other serial killer since the dawn of time. So enjoy this song. Enjoy “So Peter, You’ve Become A Pirate” —> Download!
#5. “Sleep With Me” by City Sleeps off of Not An Angel. This song reminds me of Spring 2008, what I like to call the low point of my life. I bought this album on iTunes right before I went on a camping trip…that camping trip..well I don’t really want to talk about that trip. It had it’s moments. Anyway, this song came on my Pandora radio today and it made me think of that. I like this song, this band, and this album. Enjoy “Sleep With Me” —> Download!
#6. “Smells Like Kevin Bacon” by iwrestledabearonce off of It’s All Happening. I love iwrestledabearonce. Not only is their name awesome [because it is the coolest name ever], but their music is actually really good too. I think you’ll like this song. There is even a remix for it by Benjamin Weinman of the Dillinger Escape Plan]. Enjoy “Smells Like Kevin Bacon” —> Download!
Side note: Their lead singer is a girl…now listen to the song with an all new awareness.
That’s all for today. It isn’t the usual suspects [I'm trying to expand my horizon as well as yours]. I hope you enjoyed it.
Cody.
