Song of the Day: The Mary Onettes – Don’t Forget (to forget about Me)

Posted on by Ricky in Song of the Day | Leave a comment

It’s that time of year where everyone looks back at the year that was and wonder to themselves “What great songs have I missed this year that will make me look like a chump next year?” Maybe that’s me. I don’t know.

The Mary Onettes are a band off one of my favorite record labels – Labrador. This Swedish group released their new album Hit The Waves earlier this year. I recently revisited this album and let’s just say I am glad I have. I am currently obsessed with this track. It’s got a great mixture of drama and pop to it and one killer chorus. It deserves your time. I’m sure you can spare yourself a minute or two from reading buzzfeed listicles to check it out.

Song of the Day: Clare Maguire – Half Hearted Love

The Stevie Nicks bombast and glitz of the first record are gone from Claire Maguire‘s latest and in return, here’s a wistful song that might as well have sprung from a failed hookup after a Janis Joplin concert. With the aid of Jarvis Cocker’s writing talents, Half Hearted Love sees Maguire mine further back into pop music history with a sound that shimmers as much as it wallows in late hippie nostalgia. Perfect for the wintry nights creeping up on us now, inside by the fireplace with a tall glass of Oban.

Song of the Day: Holy Ghost! – Dance a Little Closer

Holy Ghost! is my new all-day music obsession at work, so I thought it’d be worthwhile to share the joy. For the past few weeks, I’ve found myself propelling through the day with a few favorite tracks full of electronic-pop-dancing goodness, but my all-time #1 hit is “Dance a Little Closer” (closely followed by “Do it Again”). The catchy tune is jam-packed with rhythmic beats, a super great chorus, and general awesomeness. The lyrics are great too – extolling the virtues of living out youth with hands-up-head-back excitement and carefree-ness. It’ll pick up your Tuesday. Give it a listen.

Song of the Day: The C90s – Shine A Light (Flight Facilities Remix) aka GTA Hallucination Song (spoilers)

Rockstar always seem to have a few moments in every game that is paired with an awesome music sequence. So far in GTA, that sequence involves one of the characters that you play smoking a whole lotta weed and then hallucinating. The hallucination includes you flying over the city of Los Santos (LA) in a psychedelic trippy haze to this tune. The C90s are a London duo with an obvious love for that French electro sound from the late 00’s. The track is a loose and perfect approximation of the overall feeling you get in the game and it’s breezy synth lines and chilled melodies will have you wanting to go out and just chill. Check this track out.
