Meese - The Start of It
Denver, Co
The only reason I’m posting this song is to prove that Meese is in fact a word and counts in the game of Boggle because I found it on myspace. It’s the plural of moose the same way geese is the plural of goose, right. right.

Vivian Girls - Tell The World
Brooklyn, NY
These girls make me excited for the NYC music scene again. They bring me back to all the great punk bands of the 90’s mixed with…The Mamas & The Papas.
Check out the video for this song at the band’s website http://www.freewebs.com/viviangirls/

Less Than Jake - Happyman
Gainesville, Florida
Sleep It Off Records
I’m not doing too well keeping up with this…5 minutes to midnight and haven’t thought about what my song of the day is going to be yet.
So I’m posting an old Less Than Jake. I’m not embarrassed at all that I love them and that I spent all of high school blaring this CD on repeat… Turns out they have a new album coming out. Can’t believe these guys have been keeping it going for over 16 years!

Creaky Boards - Brooklyn
Brooklyn, NY
Song of the Day, because I’m homesick for NY…This song makes me happy and brings me back to an amazing summer night last year at the Bushwick Open Studios party. Creaky Boards played on the rooftop of a warehouse in Brooklyn on a perfect night with an amazing view of Manhattan in the background. Feeling very homesick.
P.S. I have a thing for bands with horns and can’t wait for their new album to come out in November!
Listen
