Welcome back, kids! Sorry there was no 5SF last week; things have been busy… you know, school and all. Things are going to be pretty hectic until December, but I managed to sneak some time in to bring you some fresh tunes this week. A LOT of music is going to be released in the [...]

5SF: october 29
Well, I didn’t know if I would have five songs to bring to the table this Friday, and it turns out, I tend to underestimate myself! I found five great songs worthy of some praise, so I wanted to share them this week. Here’s the Friday five for this week: Nadine Coyle – Insatiable While [...]
5SF: october 8 – the return?
So, I basically stated that the 5SF was kind of dead because of my inability to host/post songs anymore, but one lovely and delightful reader (hi Doug!) said that he would like it if I still did a 5SF, and he could just look up the songs (I mean, iTunes is really easy to use, [...]
sotd: Will Young – Let It Go
I have been cleaning out some (um, actually more like a lot) old shit that I needed to go through in my office today, and I heard this song while I was doing it, and felt it was more than appropriate. I have to shed some stuff, and just learn how to let go in [...]
End of Summer Jams
The hit of the last fortnight has been Cee-Lo Green’s “Fuck You” (both the text-only version and the newer official version). The hummable (if not singable) nature of the song and the amazing videos (as different as they are) got me thinking about another great tune with a stunning video: Her Morning Elegance by Oren [...]

sotd: Feist and the Constantines – Islands in the Stream
I was looking back through my 5SF songs (I know! I am going to TRY MY BEST and do one this week), and I was reminded of this AMAZING cover: Sometimes, perfection can be replicated, and in this case, it has been. Amazing. Speaking of which; where is Feist? I miss her! She’s amazing! I [...]
sotd: Janet Jackson – Miss You Much
Oh shit, Look! I have a blog! HA! Seriously, I hate that I have been neglecting things as badly as I have, but I have been crazy busy with this summer semester; which, by the way, is ALMOST OVER. I cannot wait for a little R&R, which I desperately need. In the mean time, here [...]
sotd: The National – Bloodbuzz Ohio
I really wanted to do a 5SF Friday yesterday, but things have been crazy since school started this semester. They weren’t joking about the whole accelerated thing. Things should slow down a bit after next week though, and I am definitely looking forward to that (hopefully) happening. With that being said, I just can’t wait [...]
sotd: Silversun Pickups – The Royal We
If you followed my countdown of last years top 31 albums, you already know that the Silversun Pickups AMAZING sophomore album, Swoon, came in at number six, and is quite simply put, incredible. While I loved this song when the album was initially released (over a year ago!), a current single release has put it [...]
5SF: may 7
I have been enjoying a well deserved day of relaxation today, after passing my first of two finals for the semester yesterday. One down, one to go!! As always, a big part of relaxation for me is music, and I have some great songs for today’s five song Friday; and with that, let’s get right [...]
sotd: Hot Chip – I Feel Better
Let’s just go ahead and admit it; this video is BRILLIANT (albeit, a bit frightening). The first time I saw it, I was like, “This is NOT Hot Chip! WTF sign, you lie!?!”, and then, I was all, “oh. AWESOME”. So yeah, I can’t get enough Hot Chip right now, and this song, the video, [...]
sotd: Florence + The Machine – Dog Days Are Over
I owe my friend Deb an apology on this one. She was screaming about how amazing Florence + The Machine were practically all of last year (and even named Lungs as her album of the year), but for whatever reason, I wasn’t ever able to get into as much as she did. Well, that has [...]
5SF: april 16
It’s that time again, and I’ve got you five new songs for this Friday. Today’s selection is a little all over the place (some of it is a little out there, I’m warning you!), but each song deserves some love, as I have been digging each of these tracks lately. Let’s get started, shall we?
First, [...]
amazing news sotd: new Scissor Sisters!
Today, the Scissor Sisters posted the a song from their forthcoming album, Night Work, called Invisible Light, on their website. Thankfully, they also posted the song in its entirety on youtube, and as such, I get to gush about it here. Have a listen:
In a word? AMAZING.
The Scissor Sisters are back with their hotly [...]
sotd: City and Colour – Boiled Frogs
This was released not that long ago on iTunes, and any “new” material from City and Colour is always something to be excited about. This song is a “cover” of Alexisonfire’s song of the same name. I use quotations around cover, because it isn’t really a cover, so much as it is Dallas’ acoustic take [...]
