To The End "today is not a good day to be a pussy"

Full disclosure here, I might be a touch biased as To The End is the name by old college friend, David, uses for the music he posts on SoundCloud. He either posts stuff or sends it directly to me, and many more times than not I really like what he sends me.

I admit that Dave's creativity inspires me. He simply must create, whether it be photography, music, or his ephemeral blog, it just has to come out of him. When it comes to my own creative endeavors I often wrestle with whether something is good enough to post. I'm not saying that Dave doesn't do that, but his output is impressive.

And to top it all off, he puts out quality shit, like this track here.

What else can I say, this track is fire.

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

Updated (04.24.26): since NIN/Boys Noize have since released Nine Inch Noize I have updated this post with the official version of the track below. 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!
