I know you don’t want to see another music video about teenage angst but I liked this one, so I had to share it with you. Actually, I ‘m not even sure if the lead character is a teenager, but “he” looks the part. 
The Twilight Sad is an indie band from Scotland. They do some pretty good music. What do you think?
I had a technical glitch recently where this track wasn’t properly publicized as an Underrated Song of the Day to the various social networks I use. So I’m doing a “take 2″ by bringing you the video for it because I think it’s a great track. What do you think? Was it worth doing a take 2?
Love it! Love it! Love it! Thanks to @Agator8 on Twitter for recommending this song. I’m really loving this one. I guess I needed a little bit of 80s flashback. Sing with me “Oh Annie, you save me from the world.” Did she save him before she was struck by a smooth criminal? That Annie is one busy lady.
Now start learning the lyrics so we can sing together.
A few days ago I was going through this CD from Archive, trying to pick an Underrated Song of the Day. After I narrowed it down to five songs, I realized it made more sense to make Lights my next recommendation.
I’ve been enjoying music from this London “music collective” (as they call themselves) for several years. They initially got my attention with their trip-hop/electronica offerings from their first two CDs. (“You Make Me Feel”, a previous Underrated Song of the Day, is still a favorite track.) Since then, and after multiples changes in the lineup of the group, they have ventured more into the rock/prog rock sound, while maintaining hints of their early electronica sound. Lights definitely falls into that category and the combination of sounds is what makes it such a strong album.
Though Archive recently released their 14th album (including live releases and EPs), the collective is yet to enjoy the popularity it deserves. They’ve developed a strong following in parts of central Europe, yet continue to be unknown in Asia, North and South America and even their own country. It’s too bad because they create great music. That’s why it’s easy for me to recommend Lights as well as their other CDs.
Archive – Sane
Archive – System
Archive – I Will Fade
Archive – Headlights
Continuing with my ongoing lovefest with Great Lake Swimmers, here is one from The Legion Sessions, a live album of tracks from Lost Channels. This is “Stealing Tomorrow”.
By the way, the brownies are ready. Who’s got a sweet tooth?
