Daily Post #10
I want to start off by apologizing for my lack of a daily post on Friday, but Matt's post more than made up for it in my opinion. Some really good stuff there, you should all check it out right below this.
Following up on Matt's post, I wanted to share some more acoustic music with you. Don't worry, some electro-y more upbeat stuff will come out in post #11. And so much hardcore dub that I can't wait to unleash upon you, but I'm trying to save it for the mix that I'm gonna make.
First, we've got Ellie Goulding doing an acoustic cover of Heartbeats by The Knife (aka Jose Gonzalez) I know we're used to Goulding being remixed to heavy bass and wobble and such, but this is a very very pretty song. I like it.
Ellie Goulding - Heartbeats
Furthermore, another cover coming up. This time, a folk cover of an artist not so folky. Enjoy.
Barbara - Pursuit of Happiness (Kid Cudi Acoustic Cover)

A little twang for the soul
As some of you may know, I have a soft spot for folk-rock. I've come up with a bit of an overview of some of my favorite bands, all of which are worth checking out in depth.
First up is Mumford and Sons, an English group who's received a fair amount of attention for their song "Little Lion Man", which Tino posted a while ago. But I can honestly tell you that I like every single one of their songs. I don't think I can say that about any other band. Here are some of my favorites from their album "Sigh No More":
The Cave - Mumford and Sons (I don't understand this video, but I like it)
I could keep going, but if you want more check out the rest of the album.
Of Monsters and Men is an Icelandic group that is planning on releasing their first album this summer. From the singles they've released, they're definitely a group to keep your eye on.
Deer Tick is an American east coast band, with a little more blues mixed in with the folk. They have two songs in particular that I really like:
The Band Perry is made up of three siblings from Tennessee, and they just released their first album recently. The most noteworthy song is "If I Die Young", very well written, though I enjoy most of their other stuff. One of us may have a crush on the lead singer, though I would never betray his Greek secret.
Sugarland. Something about them is just...really good. They are closer to the country-rock genre, but I bet you'll enjoy their stuff. I'll admit, I myself have a small crush on the singer of this band.
Stuck Like Glue - Sugarland (Great video, weird but fun)
Stay - Sugarland (Also a good video, but definitely not fun)
Ok, that's enough for one post. I'll put up another installment with more of my favorites for those of you who are interested in these styles.

Daily Post #9
Whoa. Coming to two full weeks of daily posts.
I want to give a shoutout to Rob Dunn who, through awesomeness, managed to almost double our popularity on his own. Very impressive, and we thank him greatly.
Now, music wise, today's post will be much more mainstream. But good nonetheless.
Rihanna has been doing very well for herself for several years now. Not many artists can continue to dominate the charts like she can. Unfortunately, one of her best songs (in my humble opinion) did not receive the attention that it deserved. With a kickin' Guetta baseline, I think it's a pretty pretty good song. And an interesting music video too.
Rihanna - Who's That Chick (Ft. David Guetta)
Next, electo-pop monster Robyn. If you decide to check out her official music video, be sure to be alone in the room. It is definitely not safe for work. As Matt put it, "Did you detect any sexual undertones there? No. None. Just overtones." I'm really not sure how that's allowed to be on youtube at all.
Robyn - Indestructible
Again, if anyone has any particular style of music that they want new songs for, send me an email at cdfrantzis@gmail.com and one of our experts will have a post up for you within a week.

Daily Post #8
Im gonna space out the Starscape posts, because we do have like 20 days till then, and I want the last 5 days before the concert to be just Starscape (at least from my end, Matt and Kyle have free rein)
In this post, I'm gonna have 3 variations of the same song. That song, which I think is probably one of my top 5 ever (easily) is a collaboration from DJ Morgan Page and folk-rock singer Lissie. The song is called The Longest Road and it has been remixed by a bunch of people, but I'm gonna give you the original and two remixes: one by Deadmau5 and one by Iacabone, who mixed the song with house powerhouse (heh, see what I did there?) Avicii. Personally, I like the original better than any of the two mixes, but they all have their place.
Morgan Page ft Lissie - The Longest Road
(I realize the youtube title says Deadmau5 remix, but it's not)
Morgan Page ft Lissie - The Longest Road (Deadmau5 Remix)
Avicii vs. Morgan Page ft Lissie - The Longest Bromance (Iacabone Edit)
