#131 (Please) Don't Go

This is a song, and video by a band called The Protocol. I don't know anything about them, but this video was filmed over the course of 24 hours with each frame of video being 30 seconds. It's a really cool one.
Download the song here

#125 Sunlight

This is a video for the second single from Bag Raiders new album. I'm sick and don't feel like writing anything else, sorry.

Bag Raiders - 'Sunlight' from Modular People on Vimeo.

#120 Kills

This mixtape is by a duo called jj. This mixtape is definitely unique. You'll recognize every song on this tape, but you'll never have heard any of them. What do I mean? These are weird pop covers of famous hip-hop songs. It's actually really cool.

DOWNLOAD!

#119 Landmarks of Lunacy

The Klaxons are about as big as a band can get before they are mainstream. That might change soon. The released a free EP called Landmarks of Lunacy. Usually it's the rappers giving out free music, but it seems to be catching on.








Here's a little taste:

#112 January Hymn

The Decemberists released a new single the other day. It had a new song called January Hymn which is great, but they also released a cover of the Grateful Dead song, Row Jimmy. These will be on their next CD called The King Is Dead.

#111 Come Skate With Me

One of my favorite songs, and music video. It's not new, but I just want the whole world to know. So world, listen up. Watch this.

I like to pretend that everyone in the world reads my blog... It's like at least half the world though right?

#85 The Bronze

This band seems to be making waves in the indie hipster crowd, which I'm trying not to be a part of. (No offense, just sayin') They are called The Bronze and they just released their self-titled EP for FREE.99! I love people who release their music for free. They are always cooled than people who make you buy it. So get it HERE

#72 Oh Stereo

These guy almost sounded like that one group that made that song fireflies, but then I listened to it, and it sounds way better. Sorry if I offended anyone there. They got a real laid back feel to them, perfect when you're just chilling. Best part about it? They are giving away their album for free at http://ohstereo.com/ It's only free until Christmas though, so get on it. Seriously worth downloading people.

#65 Fire & Water

Fire & Water is a new song from Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros. It was released with their special iTunes session. Go there if you want to download it. It's got their folk music feel that people love. Listen.

#60 New Piano Song

I think I'm going to go to the library finally. It is #hardedgeweek after all, but I'm going to be listening to this on repeat like I already have been. The song is actually called New Piano Song by Jonsi of one of my favorite bands, Sigur Ros from the new live CD/DVD which I'm probably going to pirate because I'm actually that broke. This song is awesome. You can download it if you go "Like" Jonsi on Facebook through HERE.

#55 Kids These Days

Definitely a rookie post down there mj. Kids These Days is a fairly new band from Chicago. I had no idea someone was going to start rapping when I was watching this. I'm definitely going to be putting a lot of their music up when it gets released. Here's the music video for their song My Days.

#44 Strangers

I'm hoping this song will make you hate Monday a little less. I didn't do any work of any sort over break, so if you're like me, you're a little bit fucked now. Listen to this and forget about all the work you have to do tonight, and just think, I'm still procrastinating.



Young Man - Strangers

#31 SALVO!

So you have probably heard this song called Home by Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, either from the NFL commercial that I love, or just because this song is awesome.

Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros - Home



Well, this post ain't about that song, well it kinda is, but this band made a 12-part music video movie thing called Salvo. As far as I know, only 2 parts have been released, but let me tell you, this thing is going to be fucking sweet. That's all I really know about it. If part 3 ever comes out, I'll let you know.
Seriously, watch these.

#30 Anchorless

Guess who's back. Me.
DJ MJ is also joining the team. What kind of dumb name is that?

Well this band Anchorless is from Copenhagen. You probably haven't heard them before unless you live in Europe or something, but I just downloaded their LP for free HERE. (Click on it fool) They remind me a little bit of Modest Mouse. Whatever, just listen to it and see if you like it.

 

Achorless - A Step Too Steep

#24 Plume Giant

So I'm reading a bunch of music blogs like usual, (basenuggets) and I come across a website I'm sure most of you know www.goodmusicallday.com I see they posted this song by a band called Plume Giant, and I pretty much flipped out. I saw these guys playing at a sandwich/coffee shop on Yale's campus a few years ago. I even have a CD they were giving out free somewhere. I guess they are finally starting to catch on over there. Good job finding these guys GoodMusic, and good job sticking with your music Plume Giant.

It's a unique sound with a guitar, violin, and viola. I'm not even going to pretend I know what a viola actually is but it sounds good. Just sit back, relax, wait for this cold weather to go away, and listen to this. I'll be honest, I totally forgot about these guys and wouldn't be writing this without goodmusicallday. I'm not going to forget them again though, that's for true.

Plume Giant - Fool Hall

If I ever find that CD I'll be sure to put a couple more songs up, but for now, enjoy.

#10 Hey You

I promise this isn't going to be a hip-hop blog, whether you like it or not. There is going to be a lot of hip-hop on it because there's a lot of it out there and I listen to it, but you're going to get more. How about this track from a band called Pony Pony Run Run called Hey You. This band prides themselves on listening and being influenced by everything they've ever listened to, which makes them unique. I like it.

*I also learned how to put my music on here, no more youtube! Don't hold me too that though, I might mess up.*

Pony Pony Run Run - Hey You



That's It for a while. Stats exam Thursday, Bio exam Monday and Orgo exam Tuesday.

Thanks to everyone who checked it out today. I got a lot of good feedback and I'm really excited about it. I got over 120 views the first day which is pretty cool.
Much Love, Reid
