I should have posted this yesterday. I forgot and I was punished by this song being solidly stuck in my head when I woke up this morning.
I was never really a Train fan. Meet Virginia was one of those songs that was on the radio so much it convinced me I liked it. I know they had other singles, but none jump to mind. Still, I’ll call this a solid comeback. At least a comeback to me, I can’t say for sure if they ever left.

Can I interest you in some live, acoustic Phoenix? I thought so …
Not enough? Try some 1901. I like 1901 better on the album, but here Lisztomania is far superior.

Seems like a bunch of the music links I’ve been coming across these days are for Daytrotter Sessions. They post a few songs from a band each day that were recorded in their studio in Rhode Island. They are not just up for streaming, download too. Very cool. I had two saved to share, but I like threes, so I looked for something that would fit.
Hellogoodbye – Was their last album out in 2006? Actually, yes, their only full-length came out then. Their first EP came out in 2004 and that’s the one that hooked me. 3 of the 4 songs here haven’t been released, although I’m pretty sure When We First Met was a single or EP last year. These tracks are especially cool because they usually sound very produced.
Fun – I got the album last week after finally listening to them. The lead singer’s voice doesn’t need any help when recording. So I think they just always sound amazing.
LIGHTS – I went down the list and this jumped out as a sound that would fit right in with the other bands. That was a guess as I’ve only heard a little of LIGHTS. I’m going to say it fits.

I don’t think I’ve posted much Forever the Sickest Kids. Gonna work on that …

I hope my music choices in 2010 don’t get soft on me. If I start saying I like a Coldplay or U2 song, somebody hit me.

I saw this trailer over the weekend and immediately wondered what happened to Harrison Ford’s career that he was in a TV movie. I mentioned it later in the day and my cousin had the exact same reaction when he had seen it earlier. Just got a txt from Evan that he had the same thought. Here’s the trailer. Not sure if you get the same feeling from YouTube that you get on an HDTV.

I guess it was one of those end of the year lists that finally got me to listen to the band fun. Immediatly I thought that it sounded just like The Format. Sure enough The Format broke up last year and fun. is the lead singer’s new band. I feel stupid for not knowing this already.
The Format showed up on my iPod this morning and decided it was a good one to post.

On Sunday I saw Jersey Boys on Broadway. I’ve managed to avoid getting a song stuck in my head. I figured some Four Seasons would make for a good song to post today. Sadly, there isn’t a whole lot on YouTube. It’s like the internet didn’t even exist back then. I wanted to post Stay, I think that’s my 2nd favorite (behind Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You). I settled on Sherry. You can’t top a YouTube music clip that is a video of a turntable.
