Song of The Day! Boy & Bear – Mexican Mavis

Boy & Bear's love's not a limit from Sydney, Australia

Don’t let the Fleet Foxes style intro throw you off this track. Mexican Mavis is a song that rewards the listener as it takes you on a journey, as if by horseback, through various ups and downs. Mexican Mavis was released late 2009 but never really had a home on a proper album. Instead the song found its way onto the release of the bands debut EP- With Emperor Antarctica, in May of 2010.  This is the kind of ambient folk rock I could sit back and waste the day away to. I look forward to a true album effort from these Aussies and all the wonderful music that it will entail.

Song of the Day! Peter Bjorn & John – Dig A Little Deeper

It’s been nearly 2 years now since PB&J released, in my opinion, one of the best albums of 2009. The new album sounds very promising with enjoyable listens like Dig A Little Deeper and Second Chance. This song is no Young Folks but who’s to say the album isn’t hiding something that’s as catchy and memorable. I have high hopes for Gimme Some which will be out the 29th of this month.

Song of the Day! Kanye West – Runaway(ft. Pusha T)

I guess I’ll just be straight forward about this, I really enjoy listening to Kanye West. I’m not going to lie and say I’ve been listening to him since he blew up, because honestly I could’ve cared less at the time about new hip hop talents. I’ll also say that I made a huge mistake by not jumping on board with Kanye sooner. My Dark Twisted Fantasy is fucking amazing and Runaway gets me every time.
