Day 78: Migratory Patterns by Lowercase Noises from Migratory Patterns (2011)

I found this album when following some links from The American Dollar, which I featured on Day 1 of this blog. As the website tells us, this album is about a whale. I guess that's all that needs to be said.

Here it is.



[Wednesday posts feature ambient/electronic/downtempo music]

Day 77: Tweeter and the Monkey Man by Traveling Wilburys from Traveling Wilburys, Volume 1

I heard this track on NPR's World Cafe program the other day. It was cool to hear it again, and, so I made a note to share it with you on Classic Rock Tuesday.

Here it is!

By the way, I am still looking for collaborators for this blog! If you're interested in any of the kinds of music I tend to feature here, I'd love to have you join me. I'm flexible as to the nature of the contribution. You could help me select songs for a particular genre, or write your own posts. I'm also open to short-term collaborations, if you just have a few songs you think I should feature.

I've been particularly interested in working with a collaborator, for any or all of the genres, who would be willing to play a little "call & response" where one of us would post a song, and the other would post a song that the first song brought to mind.



[Tuesday's posts feature vintage rock tunes.]

Day 76: Moves Like Jagger by Maroon 5 from Moves Like Jagger (2011)

I've seen Jagger move. Frankly, it's not pretty. I would have never thought his moves would be the subject of their own song. But they are, and I'm told that it's quite popular with the kids. The song, not the moves. I think.

Nevertheless, here it is.



[Monday's posts are rock, pop, and alternative music]

Day 75: The Price is Right (Deep Unknown Groove Mix)

I asked a few days ago, after hearing the Cutmore Deep Dub mix of Michael Buble's "Haven't Met You Yet," whether The Price is Right theme would be the next to get the deep remix treatment. After looking, I realize my rhetorical question was a bit silly.

Here it is!

By the way, does anyone have any idea who did this mix? I found it on Grooveshark, but the shark has little to say on its provenance.

[Sunday's posts feature whatever kind of music I feel like posting.]

Day 74: Crazy Train by Univ. of North Carolina Chapel Hill Clef Hangers from Best of College A Capella 2006

First, an organizational note. I started this blog to discover new music and re-discover old music. In a lot of ways, its something I just do for me, but I have enjoyed packaging it up in blog posts and sharing it with you.

What I've decided would help me in my goal of discovering new music is to dedicate certain days of the week to certain kinds of music, so that I don't forget to look for great old and new music in any of the categories I enjoy. And I think many of you will like it too, because a lot of the people who sometimes listen tune out when I do a run of music of a type they don't enjoy.

So, here's what I'm thinking:

Sundays: Anything
Mondays: Rock, alternative, and pop
Tuesdays: Older rock favorites
Wednesdays: Ambient and downtempo music
Thursdays: Jazz and the standards
Friday: Dance and electronic
Saturday: A capella and choral music

Since today is Saturday, let me suggest this version of Crazy Train. I kept seeing these commercials for the Charlie Sheen roast on Comedy Central that used the song as background music. I didn't watch the roast, but it did make me look up the song to see which artists had recorded versions of it. I would have never thought that I'd find an a capella version, but here it is.


This is the H line to Nine Mile. Please stand clear - the doors are closing.

Day 73: Astronaut by Simple Plan from Get Your Heart On (2011)

A great anthem for when you feel the world has forgotten you.

Here it is.

Day 72: Haven't Met You Yet (Cutmore Deep Dub) by Michael Buble from Haven't Met You (Remixes)

I'm just going to keep dancing to this music. It's going to be a bit difficult to explain when I get to work. But let the chips fall where they may!

Here it is.

It's shocking what gets the deep remix treatment. What's next? The theme to the Price is Right?

Day 71: The Scientist by Cornell University Last Call from BOCA 2006

As long as I'm lounging in the delightfully layered world of a capella, I think I'll share this Coldplay cover. It raises questions of science -- science and progress.

Here it is.

Day 70: Hey, Soul Sister by The Cast of Glee from "The Warblers"

This is one of those tunes that the Glee folks did that's so much better than the original. The original is great, but this is fantastic.

By the way, this track was one that was available for free download on my library's Freegal service.

Here it is.

Day 69: Sweet Dreams by Avicii

I discovered today's track while listening to the Tiesto Club Life podcast. The podcast is available on iTunes, and is consistently excellent. Today's track is short, but it's a fun take on an old favorite. And by know you all know how I love updated versions of old songs.

Here it is.
