Miike Snow - "Pretender" - Song of the Day - [5/5/15]

Miike Snow is a very odd band name, especially considering there are three people in the band and none have that name. The band is made up of Christian Karlsson, Pontus Winnberg, and Andrew Wyatt. They call it "A three headed band with a one man name" on their facebook description. This is the official video for "Pretender" all of which was filmed during a Miike Snow performance at Hard Summer Music Festival in Los Angeles back in August of 2012. The video depicts a guy (The Perfect Human) with a cartoon type of face having the time of his life while extremely drunk at the concert. "Pretender" is a sort of futuristic indie-rock jam with lots of energy and experimental blends of sounds. There are a lot of really good songs from Miike Snow, you can get more info on tour dates and new releases on their official website by following the link.

Birdy Nam Nam - "Defiant Order" - Song of the Day - [4/26/15]

This video is nuts, some people are fearless when it comes to controlling a manipulating powerful machines. You might have heard of Birdy Nam Nam from the huge hit they had as a result of a Skrillex remix for the song "Goin In." They are a French band made up of DJ Need, DJ Pone, Crazy B, Little Mike and together they create an awesome funky electro music with some glitch-hop feels too. The group's gets their name from a line by Peter Sellers in the 1968 film The Party. This is the official music video for "Defiant Order" put out through the OWSLA youtube channel.

Vitalic - "Second Lives" - Song of the Day - [4/18/15]

For today we have a cool melodic song from Pascal Arbez-Nicolas aka Vitalic. This track is called "Second Lives" and it has a simple beat with just the right amount of intrigue. This is a very odd music video and also the bands official representation for the song. It shows a number of different scenarios that all take place in a bathroom stall. It's weird how the same area can make one claustrophobic and at the same time others might utilize the space for a lusty or perverted experience. The song is awesome, a true heartbeat type of track of a progressive format with a lot of cool sounds. Vitalic has a very creative musical style and he also sells interesting merchandise with his logo the upside down triangle which can be purchased here.

Pyramid - "Wolf" - Song of the Day - [4/14/15]

Here's a kick-ass video for a song by Pyramid called "Wolf." Pyramid is a French artist with a clever electronic style that is hard to describe. The video is shot like a short film depicting a heist. Two masked men scheme to steal a valuable item, a mysterious pyramid and floating orb. The song is rather intense, perfectly accompanying the harsh actions taking place in the struggle to recover the package. Pyramid doesn't follow a specific genre it's just about good music. You can check out more on the official Pyramid website here.

Zeds Dead - "Demons" - Song of the Day - 4/5/15

Today's song of the day is a classic from the Canadian based duo Zeds Dead. Since coming out with a very much dubstep sound they have transformed their music that reaches out to many other sub-genres of electronic music. This track comes from the album titled Hot Sauce that has numerous other popular songs that are still played out today. This album is one of the few albums that was put out by Mad Decent and you can be sure that they were happy to back it. You never know what Zeds Dead will come out with next. Definitely keep an eye out for Hooks & DC (stage names) as they haven't dropped an official album since last July and seem to be on a schedule for putting out a new album every year. I've included the official YouTube video below as well because it's pretty damn awesome. WHO'S ZED?

MS MR - "Hurricane" - Song of the Day - 4/1/15

"Hurricane" was originally released as a single in 2010. It was then included on their 2012 EP, Candy Bar Creep Show. Finally, it was the first track on their 2013 album, Secondhand Rapture. Regardless of how many times they put this track on a release it will never get old. Especially with a music video like this.

Radiohead - "Paranoid Android" - Song of the Day - (3/31/15)

The clever Radiohead song "Paranoid Android" and the animated music video changed something in my brain forever. The music is stunning, with flawless production, and there is no other band that could put a song like this together today. Even at the time back in 1997, while Radiohead dropped a new way of thinking, the only comparisons made were with classic rock bands like Pink Floyd. OK Computer was completely ahead of it's time, and may still be, the whole album is brilliant straight through. This song to me is as powerful as the Queen hit "Bohemian Rhapsody" and with a similar format. There is no real verse and chorus structure to the song. It's like a classical composition with different sections all together making a piece. Certain parts are repeated but not exactly the same, and the song just keeps progressing right until the end. Radiohead really set a high standard for grunge moving forward, and they have always remained on the cutting edge of new rock music ever since.

Pendulum - "Crush" - Song of the Day - [2/17/15]

Pendulum was a one of a kind full band that kicked out the drum and bass beats. Looking back they were a sort of super group, as they are now mostly members of other killer bands. Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen make up the hugely popular electro group Knife Party. KJ Swaka their former drummer is now a member of the futuristic robot group Destroid. And Paul Harding the drum and bass guru still represents Pendulum doing DJ sets from time to time. The other former members of the band are Ben Mount, and Peredur ap Gwynedd. I am bummed that I wasn't able to see the group together, and they are most likely never getting back together. But any time that Paul Harding comes through to do a DJ set, you best believe I'll be there. This is the official video for "Crush" from the album Immersion.

Today's song of the day is taking us back to 1999 when Weird Al released his revered parody to Coolio's "Gangsta Paradise." Weird Al was recently added to the lineup for Governors Ball in NYC. Hope our friends in the northern states are doing well to keep warm through this polar vortex we find ourselves in. Have a great day friends :)

The Cranberries - "Zombie" - Song of the Day - [11/26/14]

This is a classic track from The Cranberries, you definitely know this song even if you aren't a big fan of the band. The Cranberries are probably the most popular Irish rock band ever. Just this Vevo post of the video has almost 200 million views and it's only been up for a few years. "Zombie" was originally released back in September of 1994 as a protest song in memory of those fallen in a bombing in Warrington. This is a throwback, but it still kicks ass today, so get riled up with The Cranberries.

M.I.A. - "Paper Planes" - Song of the Day - (11-20-14)

M.I.A. is a badass, she is very creative with her music too. This is probably her most popular track to date, a perfect hip-hop anthem released on Interscope Records called "Paper Planes." She is not only a singer/songwriter but M.I.A. also dabbles with painting and directing. She gained infamy from a so-called incident at the Super Bowl XLVI halftime show where she was captured flicking off the crowd. I don't think I have ever seen a good rapper not raise their middle finger with excitement. There was no real outrage, those few loud complaining voices are the voices of fools. The idea that a few frames of a finger be considered outrageous is absurd to me, the politically correct culture is phony. We need to stop being tattle tales and just move on, listen to good music and let the artists be themselves. Big ups to M.I.A. she's a baller.

Breach - "Jack" - Song of the Day - [10-24-14]

This song "Jack" by Breach is one of the illest house tracks ever created. Everyone who spins house has this in a set, if not they are slacking. I've heard Claude VonStroke and a number of other house DJs drop "Jack" and it always kills live. It's just the quintessential house beat, and a great song to approach that sexy crush of yours on the dance floor. This is the official video for "Jack" and boy is it weird, although very interesting. Come on let's Jack!

White Zombie - "Electric Head, Pt. 2 (The Ecstasy)" - SOTD - [10/22/14]

White Zombie is one of the best hard rock bands ever. This is the official video for Electric Head part two The Ecstasy an intense jam from the legendary album Astro Creep 2000. I used to strum along to this song early on learning how to play bass guitar. Rob Zombie is such a character, he dominates the screen and he dominates the stage, just a true performer. Today White Zombie is no more but Rob Zombie still is very creative in film and in particular animations. Rock out today with some White Zombie!

The Strokes - "Reptilia" - Song of the Day [8/25/14]

For a while you couldn't go anywhere without hearing a "The" band and punky emo music. The Strokes were one of those bands, but they managed to be one of the trend setters rather than following along. Jam out today with "Reptilia" one of the best songs from The Strokes, and this is the official music video.

Savant - "Sledgehammer" - Song of the Day - (6-26-14)

The song of the day today is from Savant, one of the very best producers out today. This is the Official Music Video for "Sledgehammer" from Savant's album Alchemist. Savant makes extraordinary music with many layers of melodies perfectly blending together. Most Savant tracks are not uniform in format, he does not always repeat sections as a chorus. Sometimes sections are used like a chorus, but for the most part Savant has no specific structure to his music. Each track has a completely unique format, and Savant has a lot of songs. Some say Savant has a library of over 10,000 original songs created or in the works! He constantly challenges himself to go in new directions with music and his fans eat it up. You have to go deep with Savant because he shares so much of his work for free, you can listen to a ton of his music on the Official Savant Soundcloud page.
