I am not a huge sports fan but I really like the concept of a band singing songs about baseball. Not to mention that this band is composed of some decent song writers. Most notable Peter Buck of R.E.M. fame. I posted this song not because I am a Twins fan but I am a fan of Craig Finn (The Hold Steady) who lends his vocals on this tune. I'd say this is a must for a sports/music fan. No three strikes here, this is a home run all the way.
The Baseball Project - Don't Call Them Twinkies
I don't know exactly what to say about this song. I love the laid back feel and the lyrics remind me of those old 60's girl groups. You know, the smitten girl gushing about her boy. The song is pretty rocking and swimming in a sea of reverb goodness.
Best Coast - When I'm With You
Buddy Guy is one of the great blues legends, although this isn't sad sounding as one might think. This is a biting dark gritty song meant to be blasted on a stereo with lots of bass. I can't help to think how the song has a sort of Hendrix vibe to it. Every rapper can claim dirty south, but this would be my definition for sure.
Buddy Guy - Baby Please Don't Leave Me
How about something a little less heavy and more happy? This song reminds me of every feel good family friendly movie I have seen. It mostly reminds me of the movie Race The Sun. This song was not in the movie, it did feature Send Me On My Way by Rusted Root. I think it could have fit right in perfectly though. This song will make you want to go somewhere with palm trees or on a Safari. Seems fitting since the band is from Zimbabwe.
Bhundu Boys - Hatisi Tose
80's hair metal will never die, and I am glad. Break out the male eyeliner, spandex or skin tight leather (your pick) and hot guitar licks. Let the cheese begin!
Big Bang Babies - Shes My Candy Girl
