UPDATE: Please notice that I added a link to at least one song by each artist, so you can listen to that song on youtube. Enjoy!
26: Matthew Barber – Ghost Notes
Matthew’s stripped down, beautiful acoustic folk-rock really took me be surprise; when I stumbled on his song, Easily Bruised, I really wasn’t expecting to [...]

songs that sample and desecrate the original in the process
There are a ton of songs out there that use samples from other, amazing songs that came before them. No song is safe from being sampled, and often times, the song that it ends up in completely desecrates the original song. There are some samples that I will admittedly enjoy, but there are those that [...]
the best songs/singles of 2009
Since I rarely like to follow convention, I am NOT sticking to the prescribed definition of a single for this list; after all, some artists resist releasing their best songs as singles, while others know what’s good for them.
Here are my top 75 songs/singles of 2009:
1) Will Young – Hopes and Fears
2) The Saturdays – [...]
5SF: november 20
Thank goodness it’s Friday; it means the weekend is almost here, and it also means that new music is coming your way via the 5SF! Today, there is a little bit of a celebration of the letter A; seeing as all of the songs featured today, are by artists whose names start with A (well, [...]
sotd: RichGirl – He Ain’t Wit Me Now (Tho)
I was trying to think of something to post about when it hit me; I haven’t done a SOTD in quite a while. Today I was listening to Amerie’s newest album, In Love and War (there are some really great tracks on there!), and it reminded me of the very poorly marketed RichGirl, and their [...]
5SF: november 13
First up today, let’s take a look at a truly inspiring story from what I can only describe as a true example of what our nation’s youth should aspire to be like. That kid has some courage. I wish there were more like him; maybe someday he will be the majority, and we can all [...]
5SF: october 16
TGIF. This has been a four day week for me, but for whatever reason, every hour has felt like two, and it just seemed to go by really slowly. A good thing did come out of it, though, I found some AMAZING new songs to feature today, and I can’t wait for you to hear [...]
third time’s a charm
Britney’s lastest single, the total earworm 3 will in fact debut at number 1 on the hot 100. Love her or hate her, you have to admit, this has been a pretty impressive comeback; one that only seems to keep gaining momentum! Major congrats to Ms. Spears who snags only her third number one hit [...]
5SF: october 9 (British pop edition!)
Thanks to Stuart playing all kinds of wonderful cheesy British pop from the early 00s at Mary’s last weekend, I have been in the mood for more, more, more all week. I decided to make a play list of some of my favorites, and as the list started to get pretty long, I realized that [...]
sotd: Noah and the Whale – Blue Skies
I posted about this amazing track on the 5SF a few weeks ago, and I have been loving it more and more with each listen. In order to celebrate the release of their new album, The First Days Of Spring in the US today, I really wanted to shine some more light on this song, [...]
one more reason why City and Colour is amazing
In case I haven’t been able to convince you that City and Colour is amazing, please allow me to submit further evidence as to why this is true:
You told me life was a risk…
I just have one last question:
Will it be my heart,
or will it be his?
See what I mean? Completely AMAZING.

5SF: october 2
Welcome back to the weekly blogcast of the 5 song Friday! I hope everyone is having a swell day, and I hope these 5 tracks make good even better. Now… on with the show.
Hellogoodbye – When We First Met
[See post to listen to audio]
It is with great excitement that I bring you the BRAND NEW [...]
5SF: september 25
Y’all ready for another fabulous 5 tracks selected just for your listening pleasure today? Well, you better get ready, because here they come! Editor’s Note: This should have been released to the internets yesterday, but due to some scheduling issues, the presses were shut down for the evening, forcing us here at duanemoody.com to publish [...]
5SF: september 18
I’ll be honest, I didn’t post the 5SF last week because I was wrapped up in the Eagle raid. That being said, I am still in awe that it happened, and as more information comes out about it, I am more and more surprised at how it looks to be blatant homophobia. It’s extremely disappointing [...]
5SF: september 4
Yesterday, I was thinking about what I was going to post today, and I had a little difficulty coming up with the five songs that I wanted to share. I decided to ask my fellow twitterati what they thought I should post, and I got several excellent suggestions; three of which I am actually going [...]
