New Countdown: Hundreds of Millions of Times

The Strumbellas

It's the last countdown of April and I am ready for summer to start. The other day I thought about setting up my Song of the Summer spreadsheet, but then I was like, "Dude. Just be patient."

I think these songs are great and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. What songs are you loving on the countdown these days?

New Countdown: Posted by a Sleep-Hungry Zombie!

Coldplay

My birthday was quite enjoyable and my son's was as well! We had his party today (even though his b-day was on Thursday) and so I'm feeling super tired. My sister and I stayed up way too late last night, got up to take the little guy to the Little Gym and then partied and partied. But this is a very enjoyable countdown, if you ask me!

New Countdown: Looking Forward to Remembering When

Bon Iver circa 2011

It's a big week around our household and so the air is crackling with excitement. Some of us are turning 1 and some of us are turning more than 1. It's all very confusing as to who's turning what.

I'll be doing the Birthday podcast again this year, so that means my birthday will be spent saving blog posts by people and then sorting through them and seeing which songs I like best and all of that. I love it, even if it can be a little daunting.

It's a good countdown this week and I really hope you enjoy it. These are always the episodes I love best. The ones in the middle of summer when the songs are the most nostalgia inducing. Someday we'll hear "Do I Wanna Know" and think "Ah, that takes me back to the summer of...was it 2014? Those were the days..." and it'll be great :)

New Countdown: Missed Connection

Happy Birthday to America and my Dad!

It's a great countdown this week. New albums to look at. New songs to listen to. And a surprising connection between this blog and one of the bands on the countdown!!

P.O.S. New LP Tracklisting

Well well welll, it looks like the video that Pitchfork posted today is of the FIRST song on the new album We Don't Even Live Here.

Pitchfork posted it here. But I'm going to post it, too.

We Don't Even Live Here:


01 Bumper
02 Fuck Your Stuff
03 Where We Land
04 Wanted Wasted
05 They Can't Come
06 Lockpicks, Knives, Bricks and Bats
07 Arrow to the Action - Fire in the Hole
08 Get Down
09 All of It
10 We Don't Even Live Here (Weird Friends)
11 Piano Hits

And, apparently, Justin Vernon from Bon Iver will be contributing vocals to "Where We Land" which is cool. Some GAYNGS love.

New Countdown with another close call!

Did I almost forget about this week's countdown? No. Did I almost not get it recorded? Yes. That happened. Sometimes having a life outside of the blog is so inconvenient! ;-)

Big shoutout to Having Said That in this episode. Let's just say I tried something. I don't know if it's something i'm going to continue to try or what. I guess we'll have to see.

This one starts slow and builds up a good head of steam. Enjoy!
