Very few bands can be iconic with a one hit wonder that was a Michael Jackson cover. Alien Ant Farm finds themselves in that spot of 'Man, I remember you. Smooth Criminal. What else you got? Oh, this is catchy. And good.'
From what I understand, they have only had three albums and a best of type. About 40 songs in their discography and a new alum promised to be coming out later this Spring/Summer time. Definitely worth checking out.
So darling, you've got to let me know... what is my favorite song? That's now a loaded question. I have over 40 thousand songs on this computer alone and I know I am missing some more that need to be added. I'm also trying the 30 Day Song Challenge. So what would be my favorite song? Probably has to be by The Clash. Probably would then have to be "Should I Stay or Should I Go?"
Alright, a bad pun... but I am full of them... So what can you expect? Thursday is a screamo/post-hardcore band from my teenage years that I'm still heavily into at times. They are also from New Jersey... This song is more than just lyrics; it's poetry.
With Tuesday currently being used for a Tunes For Tuesday posting, I am feeling Tragically Hip... also known as The Hip. They hail from Canada and have a wide range of talent. A great break from my Airborne and Gaslight trend. Not much more to say for now!
I used to write for a music blog called Stuck on Loop with my best friend, Sean, but the blog kind of died. It was a blog where we'd write about a song of the day. The songs were mostly a song that one of us would have stuck in our head for the day and we'd review and talk about the song. Well, like I said, we killed that blog because of real life eating us up. Kind of like how I have been quiet on here lately. I've been battling a stomach issue and some other things but now that I'm back in the saddle, I can start this up again and I'd like to start a Tunes For Tuesday where I'd pick a song or a series of songs to write about. For this first edition, I want to keep it related to Ghostbusters and the site. I'm going with The Gaslight Anthem.
Whaa--? How does that relate to either Ghostbusters or the site itself? Well, it's simple. The band is from New Jersey, where the site head quarters are. The song is "That '59 Sound," which has a retro feel to it and 1959 is the year for the Ecto-1's make.
With a Bruce kind of feel to this song, it's a well written modern day classic rock kind of song; but with a dark twist. It's about someone dying on a Saturday night on his or her way to a concert.
