edna Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 "Saints and Sinners" Young Dubliners Written by Sainst and Sinners. The opening track of their 1009 album. It's the first time the band performs their own material. The first track titled “Saint and Sinners” sets the album off to a rocky start, and not in the figurative sense. The up-beat electric guitar riffs accompanied by the background violin that often goes off on its own into tightly coordinated rhythmic progressions, makes this one of the fastest paced songs on the album...

phil Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 "Any Way You Want It" is a single by The Dave Clark Five from the US album Coast to Coast (1964). It hit number #25 in the UK and #14 in the US. The song is written by bandmates Dave Clark and Lenny Davidson. The song was covered by Kiss on the studio side of their second live album, Alive II (1977). It was also performed by the Ramones, featuring Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam as a guest vocalist, at their last show, August 6, 1996, at The Palace, Los Angeles, CA. This version can be found on the band's last live album We're Outta Here! (1997), while the studio version, which features CJ Ramone as Joey Ramone's duet partner instead of Vedder, appears as a bonus track on Greatest Hits Live (1996). Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers include a cover of the song on their career-spanning box set, The Live Anthology (2009), appearing on Disc 3 of 4. This song should not be confused with the similarly titled hit single, "Any Way You Want It" (1980), by the rock band Journey. Wiki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edna Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 "Rye Whiskey" Punch Brothers Written by Punch Brothers. A track of their LP "Antifogmatic", from June 15th 2010. Even a song like "Rye Whiskey" that begins as a standard acoustic blues number takes entirely unexpected turns, like the way Thile leaves the first two refrains open-ended ("Boys, have I ever told you 'bout the time I…") and how the song slow-builds to a cacophonous, apocalyptic hoedown that ends with an improvisational, jazz-like coda.

edna Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) "Anna Sun" Walk The Moon Written by Nicholas Petricca and Nick Lerangis. A track of their album "Walk The Moon", from June 2012. Also the first single of the LP, released on February 7th, 2012. It was named "song of the summer" on Esquire, in the article "30 Summer Songs Every Man Should Listen To", in July 30th 2010: Our official song of the summer, because these Cincinnati-based upstarts will leave you with this takeaway: Keytar is the new cowbell. And because, keytar or not, this might just be the catchiest, most synthed-out and perfectly constructed pop track around right now. According Petricca, they wrote the song while they were finishing College. It's abouth youth. "It's about college, about maintaining that little bit of being a kid... Don't be afraid to play." The song is named after their professor in Kenyon College, Anna Xiao Dong Sun. It went up to #10 on Billboard (Alternative Rock Charts) and #20 on the Billboard Rock Charts.

edna Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 "Halfway Home" TV On The Radio Written by Tunde Adebimpe, singer of the band. A track of their September 2008 album "Dear Science". It was released as a promo single on CD. the song is heard on the promotional trailer for Skins series three. Halfway Home" is as sleek as it is grand, sprinting towards its end with streaking guitars... ...opener "Halfway Home," with its chorus of "buh-buh-bums," sounds downright joyful... The driving Spector-Numanesque Halfway Home may be album opener of the year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
