Snowbeasts "The Snow"

I am not entirely sure how I found Snowbeasts, probably perusing through the Bandcamp website at some point, but what I do know is that this is the stompy, dancy, kind of electronic music that I can throw on and just bliss out to.

It also makes for excellent driving music.

I don't know who started this trend of industrial and techno becoming more and more intermeshed, but I'm here for it. Who needs words, anyway?

Enjoy!

Nine Inch Nails "Closer" (B Stage Remix w/Boys Noize)

At 30+ years old I think we can all agree that "Closer" was a hit that was about as perfect as it could have been, and has since become a classic. But ever since I saw NIN in Detroit, and even before, thanks to YouTube, I have been obsessed with this remix of the track. I thought maybe that would fade, but here we are weeks later and I am still impressed with not only the audacity to rework such a well-known, iconic song, but I'm equally astounding as to how well it works. And now, with the Coachella lineup announced (see above as well), it's obvious that this NIN/Boys Noize collaboration is going to continue as Nine Inch Noize. Personally, I love it, and am hopeful to get an official release of this version so I can buy it and listen to it to my heart's content. Welcome to Monday! Enjoy!

Elbow "Sober"

Look, I realize that I just posted a song by Elbow on Friday , and to be clear, this isn't an Elbow fanatic blog now. That said, I was anticipating hearing "My Sad Captains" over the weekend, but Elbow changed their setlist and, sadly, I did not get to hear it peformed live. It is what it is, the show was still amazing! I fully admit that I had only taken a cursory listen to their new album Audio Vertigo before the show, but "Sober" was definitely a live standout. I've listened to this song multiple times since hearing it live on Sunday night and am currently obsessed. So yeah, you got some Elbow on Friday, and now you get some more today because this song is now an earworm for me. It's so damn good! (FYI: this song is technically from the Audio Vertigo: Echo EP, but it is now included on the deluxe version of Audio Vertigo, as are the other EP tracks.) Enjoy!

California Gold "Stand Close"

Yeah, I know that today is Friday the 13th and that maybe I should be posting something scary, but it's also the day before Valentine's Day, so I have chosen to be sappy. Deal with it. Couples often have "their song" and while Shalee and I are not immune to that, what constitutes "our" song seems to change every few years. I think it's safe to say that currently this is our song. I hope someone loves you like you deserve. You deserve it. Happy Valentine's Day (tomorrow)!

This Track Is Fire!
