HEY! Time for a new TDT!
1. This song is almost a year old, I'm glad I discovered it now, because if I waited less than another month and a half it would be more than a year old, and not qualify for TDT. The Wombats have this awesome song called Jump Into the Fog. This song is catchy, featuring synth lines and a good drum beat, as well as a quality voice. It was uploaded to the band's YouTube account on 12/26/2010.
2. The song Trojans by Atlas Genius is song number two on this week's post. This song features the singer's voice, without much complexity in the background in the beginning of the song. It picks up in the chorus, but I like the simplistic style of music that builds into a orchestrated piece as the song goes on. This song was uploaded to the band's YouTube account on 9/5/2011.
3. I officially love the Black Keys. If I didn't love them before I certainly do now. This song is awesome. I love the song and I also LOVE the video. Keep in mind that this is the video uploaded to the band's YouTube account, on 10/25/2011. It is the first single from El Camino, the band's next album. Lonely Boy, with its classic rock oriented song and hilarious video is one of my favorites this week.
4. Song number 4. Bombay Bicycle Club's tune Shuffle. This song is catchy, and the band is pretty cool. The singer does indeed look a little bit like Ferris Bueler, which I think is just downright awesome. This band can be described simply, as one YouTube comment put it, "Nerdy with a[n] edge of cool". This song was uploaded to the band's VEVO account on 7/22/2011.
5. Last, but not least is Young the Giant. Their song Cough Syrup is a great tune. I love this song and I have for months. The video is very odd, but that makes sense for a song with the title of "Cough Syrup". The song was uploaded to the band's YouTube account 6/22/2011.
This week's TDT Crown goes to the Wombats. I really enjoyed their song, it conveyed a message, to me, about the unknowable future, and how we have to deal with it, hopefully landing feet first.
Peace.

SONG ON MY MIND + NEW FEATURE!
Hey guys!
Right off the bat here is the SOMM. I have not been able to stop listening to this. I know, this might seem crazy. Here is the background. My roommate listens to classical music while he studies. At first I would ignore it and put on my headphones and turn up some ALTERNATIVE WOO HOO! That kind of changed pretty soon though. One day he was listening to classical and something incredible came up. It was a Harry Potter Medley. As some of you know Harry Potter happens to be one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE THINGS EVER!
So that being said the SOMM for today is Hedwig's Theme. This is the classic Harry Potter song from the movies. It is an incredible song that features a huge build to the most intense parts. I ripped through an essay while listening to my Harry Potter Playlist on YouTube. It was absurd.
ALSO NEW FEATURE ANNOUNCEMENT! From now on I will also be posting links to each artist's Facebook page and Official Websites, provided that they have one. You may have noticed that I hyperlink-ed "Harry Potter" earlier. That link goes to the HP Movie Facebook Fan page. That way if you really like what I post it won't be hard to find more music from the bands. With this I will also be posting my blog posts on their walls, so that people who like this kind of music can find out other songs in the genre. I hope this feature will be appreciated.

Track Drop Tuesday 11/8/2011
HEY! IT'S TDT TIME!
We got a bunch of alternative coming at you today.
Starting off with some AWOLNATION, Not Your Fault, which was uploaded to the band's YouTube account about 8 months ago, is a mad cool song. It reminds me of old RHCP, with a bit of extra kick. A lot of the verses function like old RHCP. The song is awesome, I love it and it is leading off today's TDT.
Next up, we got some Grouplove. The song Colours has been all over the radio. This song, which was uploaded to the band's YouTube about 10 months ago, January 4, 2011, actually a full twenty-one days before it was released in the US, is an awesome alternative song. To be honest, no, no I do not understand the music video to this song.
Third song! Cage the Elephant just released the music video for their song Aberdeen. The video was uploaded to the Band's VEVO on YouTube on the October 12, 2011. I apologize, this is another music video that I just do not understand. It is a great song though, very new and the music video, while blatantly odd, is a pretty good video.
Fourth to drop. Coldplay's song Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall. Coldplay is not really the newest trending band, but this song, uploaded with a video to their VEVO on YouTube, has only been online since June 28, 2011. Since that time it has garnered over twenty million views. I like this song, it is classic Coldplay, and I think it will be remembered with their other great songs.
Fifth and final tune. This Avicii, Daft Punk remix is of the song "Derezzed". Derezzed (Avicii Remix) [Daft Punk] is very high energy, like most Avicii, with distinct components of Daft Punk. I, unfortunately, do not know the exact age of this song, that being said, this upload on YouTube is about 7 months old. It may not be the original copy, however.
This week's TDT Crown goes to Avicii, with their Remix of Daft Punk on Derezzed. This song is so catchy and bouncy. It is a great tune that I, personally, would love to just go nuts to while listening.

Song On My Mind
I've been listening to the song Roll Away Your Stone, by Mumford & Sons.
This song is awesome, and it embodies everything that I love about Mumford. The song includes the folk-rock style of the band in a catchy song without the overplayed Little Lion Man.
The lyrics are very clever. I love the song.
That's the SOMM for today!

Track Drop Tuesday 11/1/2011
Here it is folks. Just a few minutes before midnight tolls.
TDT #1. Avicii, Fade Into Darkness. This song is basically.....GREAT! It is a peppy song with a lot of kick. Avicii makes me want to rave all night. The song was released less than 6 months ago, and some people have yet to discover the joy that is Avicii. I am merely spreading the good word! Dubstep may be great, but the dance, high energy synth and moderate bass of Avicii will knock heavy Dubstep right out of the park.
Song number 2: This song comes into TDT from Zach Gilbert. This mixed song gives me hope for the future generations of music that is not driven on a synth plugged into a MacBook, but real instruments. Don't Take It Out On Me should inspire young musicians everywhere, I'm talking about the kids in the garage with guitars. This song comes as a preview to Zach's band's EP, release date TBD. Hit up his SoundCloud for the latest tracks off the EP.
Tune Tres (3): Time for some FILTHY dub. I love Foster the People. It is a fact, in fact, they will be mentioned twice in this TDT. First is for a dubstep remix. Butch Clancy remixed the natural heart and soul already contained in the song into an android, futuristic wobble, that kept thte original song's characteristics. That, in my opinion, is a great remix. The remix is for Pumped Up Kicks. Pumped Up Kicks (Butch Clancy Remix) is a great tune. It came out about 5 months ago and is a great track.
FOURTH! Foster the People again! This time for one of their songs, Helena Beat. I love Helena Beat. The song, which, according to the band, is about the party scene and how it can become too much. "Took a Sip of somethin poison but I'll hold on tight" means a little more now, huh? Either way i love the song. it is one of my favorites. The music video was uploaded onto the Band's VEVO 3 months ago.
That is all for today folks.
I will see you next week.
OOOH! the Crown! Goes to my favorites, Foster the People, for Helena Beat. Awesome tune.
Peace.
