Song of the Day (New England) 04.19.13

Another seven down. Behind us. Done with.

Thankfully the weekend has arrive. Time to kick back and relax a bit or go out and live it up. You diced what you want to do.

Let's get into this.

We're all aware of what happened earlier this week. The bombing at the Boston marathon. First of all it's just sick. I can't believe people are capable of doing such things. Secondly, I'm amazed at how courageous and inspiring everyone else is. Runners continuing to hospitals to donate blood, bystanders running towards the explosions rather than away to help. I could dig much deeper into it, but I don't want to. It's not a good topic and it's been all around the news enough - somber enough. So I feel like we need two things, an upbeat song, and a tribute to Boston. Not only can I provide a song that meets both these needs, but one that is also relivant to my life. This is Big D and the Kids Table's, "New England."




Let's quickly transition into a happier tone and topic. Recently I've been on a bit of a dance kick. Any kind really. Funk. Electronic. Reggae. Anything that'll get my hips and feet moving. Luckily this week, one of my favorite producers (Diplo), released a new album with his DJ friends under the name Major Lazer. They're much more into the electric dance music scene, but travelled to Jamaica to record their new album and relied heavily on reggae and calypso beats. What they've created is something special. Kind of like last week with Daft Punk, I'll be surprised if you don't want to start groovin' in your seat when listening to this. Damn the main beat is so catchy. This is Major Lazer's "Watch Out For This."
