Tuesday, July 9, 2024: TWOfer Tuesday: The "What's Good In 2024?" Edition

 

No theme, really, just a few songs released in 2024 that I thought were cool, and that you might enjoy.

 

Enjoy.

Thursday, June 6, 2024: Mark Ambor - Belong Together

 

I love unabashedly joyful, vibrant pop music.  Taking a simple theme, like the simple moments shared with a loved one, newcomer Mark Ambor weaves a carefree, uplifting song that is headed straight for the top of the charts.

Enjoy.

Friday, August 19, 2011: Question Mark & the Mysterians - 96 Tears

Remember Monday, when you took a sledgehammer to your cubicle, punched your boss in the face and drove 100 miles per hour down a freeway while swigging Jack Daniels straight from the bottle?

If that is actually how you started your week, then I'll bet by Friday you'll be crying 96 tears

Or more.

C'mon, let me here you cry now

Monday, August 30, 2010: Mark Ronson featuring Lily Allen - Oh My God

I'm preparing for Covers Week here on CSOTD.   Here's a taste.

There's nothing like waking up on a Monday morning, looking around at your life and getting that sudden realization that just makes you want to scream, "My God, What Have I Done?"

"Time on your side that will never end
The most beautiful thing you can ever spend
But you work in a shirt with your name tag on it"

Indeed.

Yes, there's far better Kaiser Chiefs songs, Mark Ronson is a bit of a hack, Lilly Allen is can be pretty annoying and this song's association with this movie come's within a hair's-breadth of disqualifying it from being cool. However, all those negatives, irksome individually, come together here to produce an abundance of attitude, encouragement and a perfect pop hook that makes for a fine choice this Monday morning.

Thus, keeping it just barely on this side of cool. Just.

Keep On Trucking everyone, and Happy Monday!


That is all.
