SMA&CMF Song of the Week: She’s a Maniac

Anders — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 13:28:41 +0000

This one was planted in my head when I got back from Chicago yesterday. I can’t say I wish that it had been, but it’s there, and now you have to suffer, too. Happy Friday.

Have a maniacal weekend.

SMA&CMF Song of the Week: Rock of Ages

Anders — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 13:36:12 +0000

I’ve been hearing a lot of Def Leppard since my ship docked in Indiana, so it has to go this way this week. I apologize, but then again I don’t. You know you love them. After all, it’s better to burn out than fade away, right?

Oh, and unta gleeben glouten globen, of course:

SMA&CMF Song of the Week: I Left My Heart in San Francisco

Anders — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 20:52:06 +0000

I don’t leave until Tuesday, but here it is anyhow.

SMA&CMF Song of the Week: Meet the Elements

Anders — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 15:00:36 +0000

They Might Be Giants realized a while back that their appeal as musicians and songwriters stretches beyond the worlds of stoned and tripping college students who want to jump up and down like 8-year-olds, and into the worlds of 8-year-olds who want to jump up and down like 8-year-olds. I think that’s swell. Their new album “Here Comes Science” is another in their series of CD/DVD releases that are made for kids, and are meant to educate and entertain. Turns out adults still like them, too…

SMA&CMF Song of the Week: Expiration Date

Anders — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 20:10:09 +0000

These pomplamoose people have gotten a lot of attention for this beyonce cover that they did, but i just heard this one and think it’s a winner. Plus, these guys are funny. I like funny.

SMA&CMF Song of the Week: Kamphopo Races

Anders — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 16:00:01 +0000

This mashup of architecture in helsinki and the very best is just happy happy joy joy. And the video doesn’t miss a beat. Enjoy:

do a little kamphopo dancing this weekend.

SMA&CMF Song of the Week: People Who Died

Anders — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 22:31:33 +0000

I heard this last night and it reminded me of the fact that Jim Carroll died a couple weeks ago, sadly joining the ranks of the people in this song. This amazingly energetic, kick-ass song is a uplifting tribute to people who died, but not before they left an impression on Carroll himself.

Funny how art reflects life sometimes… RIP JC

stay alive this weekend

SMA&CMF Song of the Week: Song Away

Anders — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 13:41:17 +0000

I actually like this song by Portland band Hockey better, but they’ve joined the ranks of music industry trouble makers and disabled that video for embedding. But this one’s pretty good, too:

this weekend’s just a song away – make it a good one.

SMA&CMF Song of the Week: Whisper to a Scream

Anders — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 18:12:10 +0000

This one is the fault of one of my mins. She planted it in my head yesteraday and I’ve (sadly) not been able to shake it. Posting it as song of the week will hopefully get it out of my skull.

This video is great because it was shot back in the days when a leaf blower and a bunch of leaves was all you needed to make a “bitchin” video. Plus, everybody either looked like Tears for Fears or Rick Astley or some bastard child of theirs.

whisper yourself into a scream this weekend…
