Song of the Day (How's It Going To Be) 06.21.13

Here we are. Friday, June 21, 2013.

Another week behind us. And we're just going to keep diving deeper into summer.

But at least we have music to help us pass the time right? So let's get to it.

I've been on an oldies kick recently. My friends can attest to it, as can all my roommates. I'm sure in some sense it's a bit nostalgic for them, but I'm sure it's also a bit annoying. And by oldies, I mean oldies for me. Not in the whole scope of music. Just in terms of my 25 years here on the planet. So song one is another Third Eye Blind song. I swear I've had their greatest hits album on repeat for the last month, but can you fault me? It's ephin' amazing. There is just something between the lyrics of their songs, the chords, and singing that combine into something that'll just lodge itself into your brain and refuse to leave. Like last week - I hope this song stirs up some memories. It sure does for me. This is Third Eye Blind's "How's It Going To Be."




You know how songs have that magical way of bringing you back to a specific time - pinpointing a certain memory? Well this next one takes me back to Ithaca every time I listen to it. I'll forever transport me to senior year, hanging out, playing cards with one of my friends Kevin. He loved this band so much and always had them on in the background. I'll admit that the song above is a bit of a downer, so hopefully this will cheer you up a bit. It's goofy, a bit quirky, and pretty lively, if not completely unique. This is The Felice Brother's "Run Chicken Run."
