Video: She & Him “Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?”

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

I finally got around to seeing “500 Days of Summer” a few months ago. It’s easily one of last year’s best movies. I recommend seeing it as soon as possible. The lead actors in the movie (Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt) do a great choreographed number to this She & Him track. (By the way, Zooey is the “She” of She & Him.)

This is a track from Speak the Truth, the second release from Riders Against the Storm (RAS), a husband and wife duo out of Providence, Rhode Island. Jonathan and Ghislaine say their musical goal is to “not only inform, but also to uplift and create spaces where atrocities against people of the African diaspora can begin to heal.” You can find out more about them at their MySpace page or download a copy of the CD here.

Video: Armenoids “Transformator”

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

Armenoids’s “Transformator” was the Underrated Song of the Day a few weeks ago. When I saw the video for the track, I thought I’d share it with you. Hopefully, you’ll enjoy it as much as I did. It’s definitely an example of finding music in everything. :-)

This isn’t indie nor non-mainstream music nor is it an unknown artist (though I could convincingly argue that it is good music). I’m just sending this one your way to put a smile on your face. Share it with others and let’s see how many people we can make smile today. :-)

My All-Time Favorite Underrated Song!

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

Me Like Good Music - Source for Underrated Indie and Non-Mainstream MusicLike most, I made many resolutions last year. Some of them I kept, many I didn’t. This year, I’m going at it again…making a plan and doing my best to achieve it. However, this time I’ll try to stick to the K.I.S.S. method. You know…KEEP IT SIMPLE, STUPID. Each week, I’ll take a moment where I ask myself three questions: (1) What did I do to improve my life? (2) What did I do to improve my community? (3) What did I do to improve the world? As time passes, I intend to have those moments more frequently. To start, I’ll continue my efforts from last year: (1) for myself, continuing my “healthy living” efforts (may even run another marathon); (2) for my community, more volunteering; and (3) for the world, increasing my “smaller footprint” efforts – REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE!

As for you, my goal in 2010 is to continue to bring you GOOD MUSIC because ME LIKE it. :-) Of course, that will involve introductions to more and more unfamiliar good music … new, old, international, bizarre, unsigned, whatever. In 2010, we’re going to try it all.

How does this introspective moment connect to my favorite underrated song of all time? I have no idea but follow me anyway. I promise it won’t hurt. :-) It’s probably because music has always been my mood-altering drug of choice. And no other song takes me to a “calm place” like this one. It put me in a beautiful state the first time I heard it and continues to have a soothing effect on me each I hear it. You may be surprised that my all-time favorite is from a superstar group. I guess it just proves you don’t have to be indie to make good music.

So, I’m returning to it today to jumpstart my reflective efforts. So while you listen, close your eyes and think about your planned contributions for 2010. Or ignore me completely and just enjoy the video for the song. Either way, here’s to a year filled with good music. HAPPY 2010 EVERYONE!
