Max Jury

Sometimes I don't have to search for the music. The music comes to me! Sometimes the music sent to me, isn't so good. (To all you artists who contacted me, and then I never responded. I apologize. I keep poking at it, but it just hasn't hit a nerve yet.)

Max Jury is a different story though…

Max sent me a link to his myspace page a few weeks ago and I finally opened it up this week. I found myself pushing the play button on "Change Your Mind For Me" …oh …at least a dozen times in a row. As a songwriting major at Berklee College of Music in Boston, you might expect great things from Max. I think we have one such thing already, and I look forward to more songs appearing in his repertoire!

Check out his most recent songs here or his EP "Rhythm of the Rain" here!

Janelle Monáe (feat. Big Boi) – "Tightrope" (2010)

2010/08/14
Unlike

Before I split for Canadia today with G to go see Arcade Fire in concert on an island off the coast of the excellent city of Toronto, I thought I'd check out the opening musicians,The Sadies and Janelle Monáe. I have only been awake long enough to watch one video of each and I am a bit mesmerized by this song and video by Janelle Monáe, "Tightrope". There is an element of soul to the song that feels genuine and different. In this one song I am doubtful she is as some of her R&B-Pop brethren. I find myself excited to see her as well as Arcade Fire now. So without further adieu, wish us luck! We have to pick up our tickets en route, and then also catch a ferry because the concert is on an island. I get the feeling it is going to be a long and exciting day, filled with some moments of wonder between stretches of boredom.

PS: The Sadies seemed promising too. Should be a fun lineup!

PPS: Although very very different than the original song, this "Tightrope (Wondamix)" featuring B.o.B and Lupe Fiasco is worth a watch if for no other reason than to see Janelle dance!

Leona Naess – "Calling" (2003)

(Click here to skip the stuff added to the beginning of the song in the video.)

G keeps playing this song and it is good like a good chick flick, or like the Gilmore Girls (as shown in the above video). You tough guys out there might prefer yesterday's song of the day.

Arcade Fire – "Rococo" (2010)

G watched the live streamed concert of Arcade Fire at Madison Square Garden in New York two nights ago, and was raging about it all last night. She made me sit down and watch this video in particular. It is a delicious live performance if you like the flavors of drum and bass, wrapped in Arcade Fire packaging.

It also has inspired us to buy tickets to see them next Saturday in Toronto on Olympic Island!!! It should be a wild ride! We await the date with gleeful anticipation.

The album version is sadly not as rich as the live performance. Most of the time I am less satisfied by live performances, but in this case I think the song is enriched. The album version is like a new leather jacket, but the live one from Madison Square Garden is more like the broken in leather jacket that fits just right.

Also, for those who might have heard Arcade Fire once or twice, here or there, keep listening! If your experience is like mine, eventually you will question how you ever didn't like them! And start at the beginning with "Funeral" and then move on to "Neon Bible".

Lindsey Ray – "Goodbye From California" (2009)

2010/07/25
Unlike

Life is good, and although this song is about a break up of sorts, it is just so happy and bouncy in tone I count it as a feel good song!

Plus my site has been getting slower and slower for months. It was finally so bad I took the time to investigate and found it had to be a hardware issue. I contacted my hosting company, informed them that the shared database server was having performance issues. They insisted it must be my own connection, but when I provided all my evidence, who was right? That's right. Me. I've been a software engineer for quite a while now, so after telling my hosting company how to do their job I am feeling cocky now! And they fixed it so TSotD.com is back it its speedy self!

Lenka – "The Show" (2008)

So I have this new job, and I'm only a couple months in. It is very technical and knowledge of the history of the applications is very valuable. Naturally this means my coworkers who have been there for years and years will be leaving me in the next month for other priorities and jobs, and I will be the one in charge, so to speak. I'm a little nervous, but I need to remember to just enjoy the show…

I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out
It's bringing me down I know
I've got to let it go
And just enjoy the show

I want my money back
I want my money back
I want my money back
Just enjoy the show

This cover is so good, it was a long time before I knew it was a cover of The Rolling Stones song. This is clearly one of those instances where the cover improved upon the original. Don't you think?
