This doesn’t make no sense at all.
Another all-time favorite song that I’d never have heard if I hadn’t listened to WBER so much.

An all-time favorite song that I’d never have heard if I hadn’t listened to WBER so much.
My selections for the 2011 WBER Listener Countdown.
I still love WBER, but man their rotation was really rough this year.
- I’m a sucker for anything involving José González. Junip is great.
- This song has a really great groove.
- It’s a pretty standard Cake sing-along.
- I really think the band (and the whole genre) is way overrated, but the song itself is good.
- This makes me want to shake my booty, and I’m not a booty-shaking kind of guy.
Here’s hoping for more FMGreen on the airwaves next year, a second chance for David Bazan, a fair chance to Mastodon, and a new album from Queens of the Stone Age.

My alarm clock is set to play WBER in the mornings. This morning it went off and one of my songs was playing for, as far as I know, the first time ever on the radio.
Timing is everything.
I’m happy that of all the songs they could’ve chosen on Victory! they selected this 6 minute and 49 second epic. It probably the most well written song on the album; a true full-band collaboration.
That’s a pretty good way to start my day.

This song is just so damn good.
Seriously.
Just listen to this.
Please.
I promise you won’t be disappointed.
I like the fact that you depend on me
In every possible way
When your eyes wander off desperately
That you never look straight
I enjoy when you hesitate
‘Cause I don’t mind to wait
Somehow it’s keeping me safe
All I want is you, all I need is you
Everything slips away
I won’t lose you, no, you’re gonna stay with me
I don’t mind you taking after me
No thoughts of your own
Lost for words repeating me constantly
No, no, I don’t mind
In fact it calms me down
All I want is you, all I need is you
Everything slips away
The thought of us gets me through the day
All I want is you, all I need is you
Everything slips away
I won’t lose you, no, you’re gonna stay with me
I won’t lose you, no, you’re gonna stay with me
Reblogging myself for the daytime crowd. Having a bad day? Listen to this and chill out for a few minutes.

I won this disc from WBER. I do not like it.
I’ll give it out FREE to the first person who wants it.
It goes in the trash on Wednesday.
Hit my askbox with a mailing address if you want it.
I don’t honestly think Syracuse will win, but nothing makes me happier than rooting against Kansas.
Also, I randomly drew Syracuse in the WBER Brackets, and if they win the tournament then I’ll win free tickets to every concert that WBER hosts in 2011 (!!!), so I can’t very well route against them!
