Here is this week's TDT!
1. First up we have some Local Natives with their song Airplane. This song is alternative to its core, albeit with an interesting introduction. The song is quirky and embodies some fun qualities of alternative rock. This song was uploaded to YouTube on 1/21/2011. It is a pretty fun song and I wanted to get it in before it turned a year old.
2. Second this week is Help is On the Way by Rise Against. This classic punk band is releasing constantly. Their music retain's the same original grit that the punk movement was all about, but the songs are universal enough to appeal to most audiences.
3. Third, Midnight City by M83. This is a cool song. Synth bass lines are combined with some great electronic pop sounding lines in this alternative chill song. Apart from my blatant lack of understanding for this video there isn't much else to say about the song. The song's music video was uploaded to the band's YouTube account on 10/17/2011.
4. And then we have some Electric Touch with their song, currently playing on Altnation on SiriusXM radio, Don't Stop. This song rocks. I love the feel of it, and it relates to everybody. The song is fairly new, uploaded to the band's YouTube on 10/7/2011.
That's all for today folks, see you tomorrow for WAY BACK WEDNESDAY!
Hit me up on Twitter and Facebook.
Peace.

SUB WOOFER SATURDAY 11/26/2011
Over the last week I was privileged enough to attend a few wonderful shows. Those shows inspired me to add electronic to my blog as a more regular piece.
So here we go, the first Sub Woofer Saturday.
1. I got to see Zed's Dead, the Canadian dubstep duo, this week. They dropped a lot of great tracks but the energy was so vamped for Rude Boy. This particular mix is Zed's Dead and Omar LinX. Rude Boy is a great song that encompasses heavy bass with plenty of tripped out electronic.
2. Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites - Dirtyphonics Remix. I love this song. I saw Dirtyphonics at Best Buy Theater and I almost died when they dropped this track. Seriously. The entire place was rocking hard. This is some seriously grimy dubstep, and nothing tops these guys live. The mixing was beautiful and displayed their talent perfectly.
3. 50 Caliber - Funtcase. Cool ass song. These guys opened with Liquid Stranger for Dirtyphonics. I love the drop in this song it goes so mellow and flawless. It encompasses everything that I love about a heavy drop, without a huge build up, which I think is really cool. Instead of climbing up and then dropping hard this song kind of flattens off and then drops like a cliff!
Thats all I got for tonight folks!
Tune in TUESDAY FOR ANOTHER TDT!
Peace.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING and THROWBACK THURSDAY!
Here are some awesome Throwbacks for Turkey Day!
1. Vampire Weekend's Giving Up the Gun is a great song. I love Vampire Weekend, this band has been around for awhile, I remember the first time I heard Kids Don't Stand a Chance, this song captures the same identity that is Vampire Weekend. Catchy lyrics on an awesome track, that is also pretty chill.
2. Fader by the Temper Trap is number 2 this week. I love the Temper Trap, they are a pretty cool band. This song could be described as the power pop style answer to their previous hit, Sweet Disposition.
3. Trinity by the Paper Tongues. The Paper Tongues are awesome and this is a catchy song that encompasses a serious message. "You got a way of living, Your ways, I want that. I try to live my life for the people who need a come back. There's too many problems to think that you can fix me, my name is called the World and I'm dying of unbelief see." Great song

WAY BACK WEDNESDAY 11/23/2011
Here is the FIRST Way Back Wednesday. These songs are classic rock or alternative from the 60s, 70s and 80s that help define today's music.
1. Light My Fire by the Doors. Jim Morrison and his band really lit a fire with their alternative sounds, one of the great things that the Doors did for alternative was the incorporation of the organ into songs. While this had been going on the Doors were able to take it to such a timeless level that we still listen to the song today.
2. Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones. Everybody loves the Rolling Stones. These rock gods will outlive Miley Cyrus. Satisfaction is a great Stones tune that everybody knows and influences many acts today. The Rolling Stones had it right, so clearly their model is a decent one to follow.
3. Baba O'Riley (Teenage Wasteland) by the Who is song number 3. Just like the Doors, the Who used organs and synthesizers in these songs too. The Who had two main strategies, raw garage band style, and also overly orchestrated style, courtesy of Townshend and Daltrey.
These songs all influenced alternative and punk today.

TDT 11/22/2011
HEY ALL! Here it is!
1. First off we got some Incubus. The song Promises, Promises is one of my favorite Incubus songs. I think it really is a beautiful song with meaning for everyone. This song was posted on YouTube, on the band's VEVO profile, on 6/21/2011.
2. Second song, off of their new return album, After Midnight by Blink-182. The new album came out 9/27/2011. This song is pretty cool and its interesting to see how Blink has changed from how they were before they broke up and become an entirely new animal.
3. All I Ever Wanted by The Airborne Toxic Event This song was uploaded to the Band's VEVO on 10/21/2011. This song carries some awesome meaning. All I Ever Wanted is that thing you can never get, who doesn't know that story? The Airborne Toxic Event has captured another great tune in this song. Check it out!
4. Florence and the Machine,with the song What the Water Gave Me. As with all the Florence and the Machine songs, this was another one I was unsure about when it came out. It grew on me the more I heard it. This song is one that I began to appreciate because of the complexities that are orchestrated into it. This song is pretty cool and I recommend you check it out.
Light week this week guys and I'm sorry for that, I'll be sure to get you tomorrow for WAY BACK WEDNESDAY!
