Dublin Blues - Guy Clark
Ok! So my song for today is written by this Guy (!! I'm on fire!) whose album was bought by my father a good ten or so years ago and I've enjoyed quite a bit ever since. Guy Clark focuses on acoustic guitar and vocals although he sometimes incorporates violin (I think?) and a bit of drums when he feels like it. A good country album!
Lyrics are pretty rad too. Check them and the youtube clip out after the break.

Anyways - Callahan
New music first - with Nelson nine-one-ni- no wait.
ANYWAYS (ha ha!), this is another of my discoveries-with-the-help-of-genius from some song by MCS.
It is kinda generic-pop/rock-y I guess but I still enjoy it. Almost certainly in part because of the lyrics which are fantastic.
I gather that this is a reasonably unknown band as they don't have a Wikipedia page and all the info I could get was from their MySpace. Apparently they're from the US and on their MySpace page they claim to be "the next big thing"! Well, you never know! I like them!
Check it out!
Faaantastic.
BONUS: Robbie Williams in a rabbit suit trying to sing a song with srsface. Comedy gold.
Check out the singing cabbages! Also frogs!

Baby, it's alright; darling, it's okay I never loved you anyways We all have our reasons At best, all you needed to understand Is sometimes fate needs a helping hand
The sweet's not as sweet without the bitterness of you
Faaantastic.

Paper Planes - The Da Vincis
So my post has magically disappeared! Oh well, not rewriting it.
Basically: M.I.A is bad aside from this one song. This band has done an awesome cover. Check it out.

My Dinosaur Life - Motion City Soundtrack (Album)
OH NO I've decided to share an entire album again!
Anyway yes! My Dinosaur Life is the BRAND NEW album by Motion City Soundtrack who I'm sure you'll agree are basically The Best Band.
My Dinosaur Life is a bit of a diversion from the style of the previous two albums, becoming much more 'pop' and less 'punk rock' which I kinda don't enjoy because their older albums (mainly Commit This To Memory) were absolutely brilliant (See: Attractive Today, L.G. FUAD, Everything Is Alright) while the new one is only quite good. There are a few great songs from the new album though such as A Lifeless Ordinary, Delirium and Skin and Bones. Also I enjoy the intro to History Lesson greatly.
So basically, check out the album on iTunes! It's fairly great.

The Great Escape - We Are Scientists
Ok so, another day, another song!
And today's song... *drumroll*
The Great Escape by We Are Scientists! I'm pretty sure I found this on late-night Rage or something (I should just sleep at night or something wth) aaand the videoclip is pretty awesome which is the main attraction for me. APPARENTLY it's about the parts of the guy that he doesn't like intefering with his life! -enjoys-
Anyway, watch the videoclip because it's the best.
Youtube!

Defying Gravity - Idina Menzel / Kristin Chenoweth
I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY
I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY NOW- That I have basically listened to nothing else for the last day or so!
Damnit this song is excellent, I don't even understand. Perhaps it is because it sounds remarkably similar to that one Mandy Moore song from that movie that I loved like three years ago! (A Walk To Remember, guys)
Also she sounds kinda like the lead girl from HSM. Except.. you know... good at singing and stuff.
Anyway yeah I've rediscovered the fact that I actually quite like musicals so uh... you guys can deal.
Also who wants to watch Once More With Feeling on Friday? Cause I do! Also My Musical!

Fader - The Temper Trap
"Woo this band!" is approximately my thoughts at the moment. I have just discovered that they supported Florence and The Machine at some point too! Also they're totally playing at BDO! -jealous of all the people who have tickets-
Anyway yes, not their most famous song (see: Sweet Disposition), but still probably my favourite. I don't even have a reason why! I just enjoy it as a thing. Sweet Disposition is pretty good too though.
Basically just listen to all of their music. Damn.

Contra (Album) - Vampire Weekend
I decided to do an album today! Whatcha gonna do about it?!
Anyway yes this is the new Vampire Weekend album and it is made of fantastic and joy. The album is fairly typical of the band unlike /some/ newish releases that come to mind (coughMuse) and was released Today! according to iTunes.
While the entire album is brilliant, the song that I think you should be observing in particular is probably California English! I would know for sure but iTunes is still "processing" it because the iTunes Store is not particularly good.
I enjoy their properly original use of autotune which is neither "lets correct their voices because they're rubbish at singing" nor the T Pain massively over-done style (which really just annoys me as a thing)!
But yeah I have nothing else to say about this! Probably go observe it on the 'tube!

Under the Pavement, The Beach - Deportees
OK! So I, unlike Oscar, have chosen to respect the sacred tradition of the music blog for *the first time in 2010*! It is very exciting.
After literally /tens of minutes/ of genius-ing it up on iTunes I discovered this band / song (which genius likened to Miss You by Adiam Dymott)
Deportees are a fairly standard pop slash soul band from SWEDEN of all places. Apparently they are quite popular over there but haven't really broken in to any non-swedish charts.
This song was originally released as a single in March last year (2009!) but has also been released on their newest album which shares its title and reached number thirteen in the Swedish charts.
Anyway uh, enjoy the song or I come to your house and drink all of your alcohol. Then what would you do?!

Buffalo Country - Cloud Control
Today's song from me is, I think it's safe to say, BETTER THAN ANYTHING THAT ANY OF YOU HAVE POSTED SO FAR because it can be scientifically proven to be The Best Song.
I may be overreacting. IDK. It is an ok song I guess.
Anyway! Late night TV showed me this song at approx 3.30 this morning on an ad for tampax or something and I have been watching my play count in iTunes steadily tick upward since then!
I can't even get any super-interesting information about Cloud Control because they don't have a wikipedia page! I am outraged! Also noone has uploaded this song properly on youtube because apparently they're not that popular or something so all I could find was a video of some people who I presume are the band playing it on a piano in a street somewhere. The proper recorded version is avaliable on the iTunes store though and it's well worth the dollar sixty or whatever.
OH AND BY THE WAY IVE JUST NOTICED THEIR ACCENTS, ARE THEY AUSTRALIAN? I THINK SO

Black Wax - Dananananaykroyd
Well! I'm going to kick off what looks to be a fantastically eloquent, knowledgeable and not at all based on us pretending to know about music, music blog by sharing Black Wax by Dananananaykroyd.
Quickly looking them up on w- knowing about music, I can tell you that Dananananaykroyd are a six piece band from Scotland who apparently have a /girl guitar player!/. Except I just checked and actually they don't even a little bit.
Also Black Wax is in Fifa 10 which is the only reason I know it! -ends convincing charade of music knowledgeness-
But yes! That is my song for this Boxing Day. You should probably all enjoy it as much as I do because it's excellent!
