A Round of Sound: Holiday Edition!

December 23, 2009

I’m not planning on having another post until I unveil my Albums of the Year list in early January, so for my last post of 2009, I figured I’d close the year out by a little Holiday playlist consisting of a few songs from my collection that (sorta) have something to do with Christmas* and New Year’s. Happy Holidays!

[“The New Year” – Death Cab For Cutie :: Transatlanticism]

———-

[“Christmas Song” – The Felice Brothers :: Tonight at the Arizona]

———-

[“It’s Christmas So We’ll Stop” – Frightened Rabbit]

———-

[“New Year’s Project” – Further Seems Forever :: The Moon is Down]

———-

[“New Year’s Prayer” – Jeff Buckley :: Sketches For My Sweetheart The Drunk]

———-

[“Why Can’t It Be Christmastime All Year?” – Rosie Thomas :: A Very Rosie Christmas]

———-

[“Sister Winter” – Sufjan Stevens :: Songs for Christmas]

———-

[“New Year’s Day” – U2 :: The Best of 1980-1990]

———-

[“In the New Year” – The Walkmen :: You & Me]

———-

*OK, so one of these songs has “Christmas” in the title only because its the name of one of the brothers, but whatever…try to guess which song!

A Round of Sound: Emo Style

May 3, 2009

This is the first of what I plan to be a regular occurrence here on the blog. Every now and then, I’ll post a little playlist, or “A Round of Sound” (hey, that’s the name of the blog!) as I like to call it. Sometimes it’ll have a theme, other times it’ll just be random tunes. What all the songs will have in common though is that they’re all in my music library. So without further ado:

My post about Jimmy Eat World and their amazing album Clarity got me kind of on a late 90’s into the early 2000’s emo nostalgia kick. So here’s an emo playlist for your pleasure. Note that I left A LOT off of this list (I’m trying to limit these to about 10 songs). I’ll have to do a part 2 sometime in the future. Argue all you want about whether or not these are truly “emo”, but all of these were indeed at one time or another considered emo.
