Day 45: the pillows

My absolute favorite song ever is today's feature. It's taken me forever to post it, and I don't really have a good reason for why it's taken so long. But I love it, so I need to post it now. [:

The song is 'Last Dinosaur' by the pillows. If you're familiar with anime, you my recognize it as the song played during the previews for the next episodes on Fooly Cooly. The whole soundtrack is done by The Pillows, and it's amazing. Even if you don't like anime, I HIGHLY reccomend checking out the soundtrack.

Sorry for posting two songs from the same country in a row, I've just kinda stopped worrying about that, lol.

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 26: Lykke Li

Lykke Li is my absolutle favorite! The only reason I haven't featured her yet is because I can't decide what song of hers to feature! I decided to go with 'Little Bit', because it's the first song of hers that I ever heard. It's from her 'Youth Novels' album. I hope you love it as much as I do! [:

Day 21: Phoenix

I'm sure all of you are plently familiar with Phoenix. You've certainly heard 1901 or Lisztomania on commericals or TV shows by now. But maybe you haven't heard this song, 'Armistice'. It's pretty dang awesome. [: Phoenix is from Versailles, France.

Day 20: Plastic Tree

As promised, here is your Japanese song! It's not one of the bands I had planned on featuring, though. The band is Plastic Tree, and they are from Chiba Prefecture, Japan. Choosing a song was really difficult, because I love all of their stuff! I ended up going with 'Kuuchuu Buranko' (Trapeze), but Ghost and Sanbika came really close! I HIGHLY reccomend you check out the other two songs, they're great!

Well, here you go! [:

Day 15: The Temper Trap

You've probably already heard this song, but I like it a lot, so I'm going to feature it anyway!

The song is 'Sweet Disposition' by a band from Melbourne, Australia, named The Temper Trap. Their music is in a ton of stuff including the movie 500 Days of Summer, the the TV shows Greek, Chuck, The Vampire Diaries, etc. I hope you like them!

Day 14: The Cure

Two weeks straight? Whoa! I promise I won't always be able to update this so often, but it's pretty cool that I've been able to do it this much so far! [:

Today's feature is one of my favorite bands ever, The Cure. And it's my favorite song by them too! This is 'Disintegration'. It's an old song, (the album it's from, also titled 'Disintegration', was released in 1989) so some of you guys might not be into this sort of thing! haha. I hope you like it, though. [: The Cure is from Crawley, West Sussex, England.

Day 8: The Kissaway Trail

Okay! Today's band is The Kissaway Trail, of Odense, Denmark! The song is SDP from their latest album Sleep Mountain. They're awesome, so make sure to check out their other songs!

Day six: UVERworld

I listen to a lot of j-rock, but I haven't included any of it yet, until now. This is also the first song that isn't in English! Fun!

Today's song is Hakanaku mo Towa no Kanashi by UVERworld, from Kusatsu, Shiga Prefecture, Japan. Any anime fans out there might recognize this as the opening of the second season of Mobile Suit Gundam 00. Their songs have also been in Blood+, D. Gray-Man and Bleach. Enjoy!

Day Five: Twin Atlantic

I think that maybe if I include the band name in the title, songs will be easier to find later or whatever. I'll try to start doing that now. [: Prom is today, so I don't have much time to post! I'll make this quick.

Today's song is 'Lightspeed' by Twin Atlantic of Glasgow, Scotland. It was a free song from Zune a while back, and I really like it. Hopefully you will too! [:

Day one: Honey is Cool

We have to start things off with something good! I decided to go with 'Bolero' by Honey is Cool. It's my favorite song by them. The vocalist is Karin Dreijer Andersson, who you might recognize as the vocalist of The Knife! They were together from 1994-2000, and they're from Sweden.
