Morning Commute Music Roundup: Week of February 13th, 2012

I've got some catching up to do. I'm using Grooveshark again to share these songs. I realize it's using flash, so until a find an alternative, there may be some of you who will be out of luck if you're not running flash in your browser. Let me know if you have problems with it. Other than that, here's my favorite songs from the week of February 13th. (I realize I'm missing Monday. Sometimes I get to work and don't remember to check in to Path at all.)

Morning Commute Music Roundup: Week of February 6th, 2012

So far, posting my morning commute songs has provided a way for me to consistently update my blog, but I've gotten behind a little lately. Here's a roundup of the songs from the week of Feb. 6th. Enjoy!

Monday, February 6th
Trojans by Atlas Genius - My Original Tweet

Here's the original Album version:


Here's an acoustic version they have out there as well. Great track.

Wednesday, February 8th
Mahna Mahna by The Fray - My Original Tweet

This is a cover tune by The Fray of the original Muppets song. I've heard a few songs off of this cover album and they sound great.

Cold Shot by Stevie Ray Vaughn & Double Trouble - My Original Tweet



Friday, February 10th
Promises by Nero - My Original Tweet

Morning Commute Music Roundup: Week of January 30th, 2012

Looking back through my tweets and my Path timeline, it looks like I didn't post any songs for Monday or Tuesday. That would've been the last 2 days of the month, so I'm not surprised. January is our busiest month at work. Either way, here's my morning commute songs from the last half of the week. Enjoy!

Wednesday, February 1st
Paradise by Coldplay - My Original Tweet



I attempted to embed the original song and the original music video,  but Vevo and EMI don't allow embedding on other sites (I'll have to post my thoughts on that later). Instead, here's a live version of the song from their visit to the Austin City Limits Music Festival.

Thursday, February 2nd
Love Is Here by Tenth Avenue North - My Original Tweet



Friday, February 3rd
Allies by Mute Math - My Original Tweet

Morning Commute Music Roundup: Week of January 23rd, 2012 [Update]

Update [3/8/12]: I continue to get traffic from people who are searching for the Barbara Streisand (Llamanator Mix) by Duck Sauce, so I went searching myself for the song to see if I could find a legal copy of it. What I found instead was a post on Sirius XM's Kids Place Live's Facebook page that explains why I can't find it:

Here's a roundup of my favorite songs of the week from my morning commute. Enjoy!

Monday, January 23rd
Lucid Dreams by Franz Ferdinand - My Original Tweet



Tuesday, January 24th
Barbara Streisand by Duck Sauce (Lorenzo Llama Remix) (Llamanator Mix) - My Original Tweet

This remix appears to be exclusive to Kids Place Live on Sirius XM Radio, since I can't find it online (legally, that is). I was in the car with the kids that morning, so it wasn't my normal commute music. Either way, it's a hoot of a song if you ever get a chance to hear it. I was going to embed the music video for the original remix, but the artist doesn't allow embedding (good luck with that).

Wednesday, January 25th
Crystalised by The xx - My Original Tweet



Thursday, January 26th
Get It Daddy by Sleeper Agent - My Original Tweet



Friday, January 27th
Shuffle by Bombay Bicycle Club - My Original Tweet



Saturday, January 28th
Comeback Kid by Sleigh Bells - My Original Tweet

Yes, I had to work on Saturday, but I did get to hear this new song from Sleigh Bells on XMU. Pretty slick. Oh yeah, and I did steal the stapler.

Morning Commute Music Roundup: Week of January 16th, 2012

Since I started using Path on my iPhone (I'll have to blog about Path later), I have been sharing one song per day from my morning commute. I have Path push it to Twitter and Facebook most of the time so my friends and followers get an feel for the kind of music I'm listening to.

On average, I'm in the car for 40 minutes in the morning. I listen to XM Radio for most of that drive and I primarily listen to Alternative and Modern Rock, although I will listen to almost any genre.

With all that being said, I've decided to recap or roundup all the songs I have shared from the previous week into one post. It's an easy way for me to start delivering more consistent content to the blog.

Monday, January 16th
Not Your Fault by AWOLNATION - My Original Tweet



Tuesday, January 17th
You Will Leave a Mark by A Silent Film -My Original Tweet



Wednesday, January 18th
Isolation by Alter Bridge - My Original Tweet



Annoying Side Note: I wanted to embed the original music video for the song, but the record company didn't think it was worth it to allow blogs on blogger to have that right. So, instead, I linked to the song so you can play it here.

Thursday, January 19th
One Month Off by Bloc Party - My Original Tweet



Friday, January 20th
Icky Thump by The White Stripes - My Original Tweet




Another note: The original music video for this song was also blocked from embedding.

Elton John is Not A Fan of the Internet

Apparently, Elton John isn't a fan of the internet. A post on cnet's news blog reported on an article in The Sun where he states he thinks:

"...it would be an incredible experiment to shut down the whole Internet for five years and see what sort of art is produced over that span."

While I understand he's advocating the arts can be so much better when there's physical collaboration, I think it's a bit close-minded to believe the Internet should be shut down because it has changed a medium of expression. Think of the information and convenience we would lose if we no longer had the internet. I mean, are you saying I would actually have to talk to people in person that I couldn't communicate with on Facebook?

Update Aug. 12, 10:09PM: Elton John has a pretty nice website for someone who hates the internet.
