Day 13
I'm taking a moment to apologize for my absence from S.O.T.D. I recently took some time to make the most of very promising business opportunites, which have helped strengthen my future steps into the 'real world'. Needless to say, I'm back and here to make you smile.

Brett Dennen-Make You Crazy
He looks 12, but he's actually 29. He caught the ear of John Mayer and now he's making his way to famous blog sites such as this one...!
Macy Gray-I Try
The Etta James intro leads into the lyrical crack fiend.
Colin Munroe ft. Joell Ortiz-Piano Lessons
I've posted his tracks up before. I like his creativity and his instrumental background. Joell Ortiz is a great lyricisit and this is featured on Colin Munroe's mixtape The Unsung Hero.
Blink 182-First Date
I had to put some 'Blink' up since I've been playing them for a while now, and moreso because they are dropping a new album soon!
Drake ft. Trey Songz-Pop Rose
A remix to Pop Champagne, but not really. I heard this a while back before the Jim Jones track and I like it a lot better. Drake is one to watch out for!
Adele-Chasing Pavements
An artist from across the pond. She's 20 and also just won a grammy. Not too shabby.
Wale-Nike Boots
An artist of the Hip-Hop class of 2009. He was on The Roots latest album and is signed to Interscope records. He works with one of my favorite producers, Mark Ronson.
A.C. Newman-Like a Hitman, Like a Dancer
He has been in bands for a while, but just recently went solo. He's got an interesting sound reminiscent of the Cold War Kids.
Kings Of Leon-Use Somebody
Rock straight from the garage if you will. They've been around for a while, but haven't been too big in the United States until recently. Check out Manhattan, and Cold Desert.

Day 11

James Morrison-Wonderful World
He's got a Ray Lamontagne feel to his music, but I think I like his stuff even better. I could reccomend a lot of other songs for you, but start here.
Unkle-Lonely Soul
Mellow as it gets. This is for you people trying to find yourself.
Baz Luhrmann-Everybody's Free
I started my last semester of undergraduate studies yesterday, but 10 years later, this still has some good advice.
John Legend-Ordinary People
It's John Legend. We're all just ordinary people, stop judging.
50 Cent ft. Beyonce-Thug Love
Classic 50. This is before either of them were dumb rich.
Lykke Li-Little Bit
A singer from Sweden with a very unqie sound. I like a lot of her stuff. Also check out Until We Bleed featuring Kleerup.

Day 10

Jamiroquai-Virtual Insanity
I also have a moving floor in my apartment, but it usually occurs at 4 a.m on a Friday night.
Charles Hamilton, Asher Roth, B.O.B-Change Gonna Come
The hip-hop class of 2009. They each have their own unique style and catchy word play. Charles Hamilton has a lot of mixtapes out, so check those out. Asher Roth put out The Greenhouse Effect mixtape which is really great. Check out I Love College.
Franz Ferdinand-Ulysses
This is from their upcoming third studio album. I've always enjoyed their sound and this song has a 'Doors' feel to it.
Flight Of The Conchords-Most Beautiful Girl
Flight Of The Conchords. Before their hit HBO show they were doing comedy through songs like this. Your so beautiful you could be a air hostess in the sixties.
Distant Light-Unity
A chill mellow band out of Austin, Texas.
Jordan Knight-Give It To You
My friends and I always break into song and choreographed dance moves in the middle of Lake Compounce...wearing cargo khakis and sweater turtlenecks. I mean, doesn't everyone?! Just a fun throwback haha.

Day 9
From here on out I've decided to highlight my personal favorite S.O.T.D pick in red.
(Right click link and select 'open link in new tab')
Black Eyed Peas-Sexy
A sexy track off their Elephunk album. Will.i.Am is really underrated.
Chris Rock-No Sex
This song is dedicated to DJ Grinch aka Tom Brindisi.
K'Naan-If Rap Gets Jealous
K'Naan was born in Somalia and was introduced to hip-hop when his father sent him albums from America. He made his way to the states with his mother and started rapping when his english got better. K'Naan was able to perform at the United Nations' 50th anniversary concert in 1999, held in Geneva, where he used his platform to publicly criticize the United Nations' handling of the Somali crisis in the 1990s. One of the audience members, Senegalese singer Youssou N'Dour, was so impressed by his performance and courage that he invited him to contribute to his 2001 album Building Bridges. Now he is featured on the famous web site Song Of The Day! K'Naan drops his album Troubadour on February 24th. All his songs tell a story you've never imagined. Check him out!
Boyce Avenue-Change Your Mind
A band of brothers, literally. Three brothers from Florida with a strong melody and harmony driven rock vide. They've got some great acoustic covers too.
Enur-Calabria 2008
Dance bitch, dance!
Say Anything-Wow I Can Get Sexual Too!
A little bit of phone loving. Got the fever for the flavor in this video.
Slick Rick ft. Outkast-Street Talkin
Used to ride out to this with the orignal crew. G-Dep and Big B. One.
Obie Trice-You Burn
I don't know why Obie got dropped from Shady/Aftermath records. I guess Em and Dre got no time to take away from their albums. Hook is meant for 50, I was waiting for the main beat to drop the whole time, but nonetheless it's a sick song with Led Zeppelin in the background.
Jay-Z-Pass The Roc
An old school freestyle from Jay-Z. A very simple beat that Jay just rips apart.
I clearly went hip-hop crazy today, but that's just my vibe right now. Happy Friday!
