The Strokes - Angles.
Ok, so i am incredibly rubbish at sticking to my commitment of posting one track a day, even though it sounds pretty easy. I was reminded yesterday that i even had this blog, and due to peer pressure and the nagging from my friends i am going to start it up again.
I have been falling behind with it as i am currently in my last year at uni, the deadlines are rushing in, and the end is very very near! So whilst trying to stay on top of everything else this has sunk to the bottom -but for no longer!
My track of the day is of course from The Strokes! The album Angles is everywhere at the moment, everybody seems to be loving it, and after waiting for it for a lengthy 5 years i would say it has been more then worth it! Machu Picchu, You're So Right and Taken For a Fool all do it for me, they are brilliant and i have been obsessively listening to the tracks wherever i go. (Thank God for the invention of Ipods) The winner for me though has to be Metabolism, i j'adore it, love it, want it! It is the Juicebox of Angles. It helps me complete mundane domestic chores. I have even enjoyed listening to this album pumping from some randoms headphones whilst on the tube and not complained!
So for those of you crazy people that have yet to laid ears upon this album here is Metabolism, and yes Pete i dedicate this to you.
P.s. I hope i have managed to write the album name Angles consistently and not written Angels anywhere...

17/03/11 - No One's Gonna Love You.
Band Of Horses - Cease to Begin.
Wow! So it has been almost a month since my last post. That is shameful, but it has been a rather chaotic month to say the least.
Band Of Horses have made it as my track of the day again. I think i have listened to "No One's Gonna Love You" approximately 14 times in the last 16 hours. There is a beauty to this track, and listening to it whilst observing complete strangers on the tube is surreal.
The actress Kristen Stewart is one of those people you love to hate, yet i find myself loving her when she admits to her obsession with B.O.H on Youtube. Something that i have also been doing. They are a great band, an amazingly talented group of musicians. They have a folky and calm, yet modern style and profess to love and the world being a beautiful place. They are the ideal band for the Hippy way.
As one Youtube user says, "Came for the music...stayed for the beards." I couldn't agree more.
Enjoy.

20/02/11 - Lotus Flower.
Radiohead - King of Limbs.
The digital world is buzzing with news of Radiohead's new album "King of Limbs" which was released 24 hours early this weekend.
So far Lotus Flower is all i have listened to as i'm attempting to save myself for the LP, but if i am realistic that is not going to happen.
There is something so magical about Radiohead, whether that is due to their whimsical melodies, or their defying of digital and industry regulations it is hard to say. I can say however that the album is true to form, if you enjoy their previous work you won't be let down. Also i think it is a right treat to see a video so soon, especially when it is featuring the moves of Yorke himself.
Im impressed.
P.s. He definitely stole some of those moves from me.

19/02/11 - Wish You Were Here.
Incubus - Morning View.
This song reminds me of perfect times. The old perfect someone. It is my "Track of The Day" today as i'm at the old fork in the road. Currently i am at the position and time in life where i need to figure out what i am to do next, reviewing my life so far seems to be the place to go first. It therefore brings me back to old places, old friends, traveling and Incubus.
Sitting on The Downs in Eastbourne and reminiscing of star lit beaches in Thailand whilst listening to "Wish You Were Here" is a defining moment.
Plus it doesn't hurt to listen/look at Brandon Boyd. (WIN)
A little nostalgia never hurt anyone... right?

18/02/11 - Square One Here I Come...
The Hives - The Black and White Album.
Ah, The Hives, what a brilliant band! After receiving some hilarious news yesterday and attempting to pogo around my room to "Hate To Say I Told You So" i rediscovered my love for the swedish 5. "Square One Here I Come" never previously stood out to me, yet today i have listened to it roughly 20+ times - therefore submitting it as "My Track of the Day!" I love the simple lyrics, the upbeat tempo and what i think is the sound of a cow bell? Or perhaps the two halves of a coconut being hit together...
I think i looked really special rocking out to it whilst driving home today.
I'm sure that the majority have heard other tracks of theirs from a few car adverts, but perhaps not this one.
Enjoy!

14/02/11 - Fleur De Saison.
Emilie Simon - Emilie Simon.
This is my track of the day. Listen to it. I have not alot to say today.
Enjoy it. If anyone can translate, please do. I know i can look it up on google but where is the fun in that?
Whimsical. Feeling it.
After posting this I have watched the video for the first time, and absolutely hate it! As my friend Amelia (http://ameliais.blogspot.com/) has pointed out it looks like a "kin" perfume advert. I recommend you just listen to it. Don't, under any condition watch the video. It has ruined my track of the day post. FML.

13/02/11 - Not About Love.
Fiona Apple - Extraordinary Machine.
Have you ever had one of those days where you make a stupid decision? Well today, is a day like that, except i didn't make the stupid decision. Confusing? Tell me about it.
The beat, rhythm and feel of this song match my day. I also chose this song partially because of the video. Nothing gets better than Zach Galifianakis, full stop. Fiona Apple is a longtime love of mine, i j'adore her, so i am surprised that i only came across this video a few days ago. Its a total Win.
Enjoy.
