Day 39: Fleeting Joys

First off, sorry I haven't posted recently. I've been really sick. Like, really sick. But hopefully that's over and I'll be able to post regularly again.

Today's band is Fleeting Joys from Sacremento, California. The song is 'Lovely Crawl', and I've had it on repeat all morning. I hope you like it!

Day 38: die!!die!!color!!!

The band I'm featuring is die!!die!!color!!!. Like Aural Vampire, they're one of the first Japanese bands listened to. But unlike Aural Vampire, they're depressingly obscure. My favorite songs are 'Countdown', and 'Bid Start' but I can't find them anywhere. ]: But 'Trust' is good too, so that's what I'm featuring.

Day 37: Cao Fang

I absolutley adore Cao Fang, (曹方) also known as Icy. I first heard her on the GE commercials they played during the Beijing Olympics. They used her song 'In Summer' on it. I eventually figured out who she was, and now I've been listening to her ever since. She's from Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, China, and besides singing, she's also a songwriter and a melodica player.

I really, really, love 'In Summer' but all her music is great, so I wanted to show a less known song. This song is '黑色香水' which is 'Black Perfume' in English, I think. I like this song just as much as 'In Summer', and I hope you like it too!

Day 36: Sigur Rós

Today's song is by Sigur Rós, an awesome band from Reykjavík, Iceland. The song is Hoppipolla, which means 'Jumping into Puddles', I think. The band I featured a few days ago, We Are Scientists, did an awesome cover of this song. If you like them and today's song, go check it out!

Day 35: Tapes 'n Tapes

Whoaaa, sorry I didn't update yesterday! I spent the whole day in Omaha with friends, and I didn't get home until late. Sorry! D:

Well, since I spent the entire day there yesterday, and because of the College World Series going on, I'm featuring a song called 'Omaha'. Omaha is really an awesome place, imo. There's lots of good music, cool people, and hipsters, lol. I love it! But anyway, Omaha is by Tapes 'n Tapes, a band from Minneapolis. Hope you like it!

Day 34: The Dears

Today has been a pretty disappointing day, World Cup-wise. At least for me. But I saw Toy Story 3, and it was awesome!

Anyway, today's band is The Dears from Montreal, Quebec. I really love the vocalist's voice! [: The song is 'Lost In The Plot', and I heard in the car on Sirius XMU today.

Day 33: Aural Vampire

Today's song is by Aural Vampire, one of the very first Japanese bands I ever listened to! They're from Tokyo, and I really love them. [: The song of theirs that I'm featuring is the first one I ever heard, and my favorite: 'Darkwave Surfer'. Hope you like it!

Day 32: A Classic Education

Good morning, internet! Maybe you've realized it already, but Nylon's music issue has been inspiring the blog quite a bit lately. I first found both today's band and LCMDF through there, so thanks Nylon!

Today's band it from Bologna, Italy! They're A Classic Education. I don't really know very much about them, but I dig their music!

Day 31: We Are Scientists

If you noticed, there's a new little widget on the side of the blog now. It's my friend's blog, so go check it out! lol.

I didn't really know who to feature today, but I eventually decided on We Are Scientists. They're from right here in the United States, but they're more successful abroad. This song is 'Rules Don't Stop' and you can get it free right now from Zune, so don't miss out! It's off their new 'Barbara' album.

Day 30: Le Corps mince de Françoise

Sorry for the delay! Life has been a little wild lately, but I'm finally back and ready to post more music!

Today's featured band is Le Corps mince de Françoise, or LCMDF, made up of two sisters, Mia and Emma Kemppainen, from Helsinki, Finland. The song is 'Cool and Bored'. Hope you like it!

Day 29: Kettcar

Hey! Just a warning: I will not be featuring any more songs until the 11th or 12th, as I will be somewhere far away with no internet access. I might be able to post a song tomorrow, but it's unlikely. Sorry! ]: If I don't start posting again by the 13th or 14th...I must have died or something, lol. I'll do my very best to get back to posting asap!

Anyway, today's song is by another German band, Kettcar. The song is 'Nacht' off their album, 'Von Spatzen und Tauben, Dächern und Händen'. They're from Hamburg. Hope you like them! [:
