There's snow on the ground, a chill in the air, a tree in my living room, and good tidings all around. What better than some for more Christmas songs for your listening pleasure? Well, how about all the other Christmas songs I've posted over the last few weeks? Here are the links to Day 1 , Day 2 , Day 3 , Day 4 , Day 5 , Day 6 , and Day 7 of this series. MP3: Brand New - O Holy [...]
On the tenth day of Christmas my true love sent to me, ten lords a-leaping... and a whole bunch of Christmas MP3's. For whatever reason, holiday-themed music makes me want to drink something strong, how about you? Anyhow, Jim from Kid You'll Move Mountains told me that he really liked the A Very Milky Christmas EP, so I've posted both the Promise Ring and Dismemberment Plan tunes from it below. There are also a few other awesome songs as well. MP3: Aberdeen City - Just Like Christmas [...]
Hooray! Its the weekend and we have some great music in store for you just as we have in our previous FIVE 'Mix For the Weekend"s (although we think this is our BEST yet!). Half ...

Image From Here You know, one of the worst things about depression is the isolation involved with it. It causes you to withdraw and focus only on yourself. You get inside your head and constantly go through the past. All the mistakes and all the hurts. And, then it is so hard to focus on other things, to do other things, to live life. Thank God right now that I have my Mom. Yeah, I know it is pretty lame for a 48 year old to be living with his Mom, but that is just [...]

Carrying on from last weekend ... Aberdeen City From Boston in the USA who use the name of the perennial footballing underachievers. Maybe. There is one track on their album which I obviously have to feature... Plus another sample track: [See post to listen to audio] » Aberdeen City - Brighton [See post to listen to audio] » Aberdeen City - Sixty Lives [...]
Yep. Thanksgiving has passed so the Christmas/Holiday season has officially begun. We'll be putting up our Christmas tree and decorations in the next few days since I don't think its really proper to put 'em up before Thanksgiving. Stay tuned for more songs of the season in the next few days/weeks. MP3 | The Huntingtons - It's Always Christmas At My House MP3 | The Promise Ring - Holiday Adam [...]
"Because you like Coldplay." OK, we kid, we kid. Kind of. Chris Martin gets a big chuckle out of the Filligar video. Coldplay takes a lot of heat for being such a harmless band (and that might be their biggest fault) but for all their wonk, it's pretty cool that they are allowing WFNX (alt-radio station here in Boston) choose their opening act . I mean, we could really *screw* them, right? Here are the bands up for the opening slot [...]

This week's band spotlight is on Aberdeen City, a local four-piece described by the Boston Phoenix as creators of "...glimmering, agonized, anthemic indie pop." On the strength of their 2006 album The Freezing Atlantic , they have received a slew of awards, including the Phoenix's 'Best Local Album' (2006), as well as Boston Music Awards for 'Best Local Album' and 'Best Local Rock Band of the Year' (2006). Brad Parker, Chris [...]

So, seit Juni 2007 ist der Last Pop Song auf Sendung und ungefähr alle 10 Posts erscheint ein bunter, anarchischer MP3 Mix mit jeweils sechs aktuellen oder vergangenen Songs aus der großen weiten Musikwelt des Internets. Hier ist nun Nummer 30 und dies ist ein kleiner Grund Rückschau zu halten. Neben den sechs neuen Songs gibts als Bonus nochmals die gesamten ca. 1.000.000 bisher veröffentlichten Songs. Das der ein oder andere einen toten Link beinhalten könnte mag sein, ich habe sie nicht mehr alle überprüft. Viel Spaß! Joy Division - Failures (Live) MP3 [...]

Aberdeen City was one of my favorite musical discoveries of 2006. Last December they spent an off night of their tour recording a cover of Low's "Just Like Christmas" in a hotel room in Alabama, with the lyrics slightly revised to reflect their own intinerary. The result was paired with an acoustic version of their single "God Is Going To Get Sick of Me" and released as a free holiday single on their website. Since I never got around to posting it during last year's [...]
I've understood that Facebook is growing a whole lot faster than Myspace these days, but Myspace still remains my favorite networking and "finding-new-music" tool. Below some of the stuff I've learned about in (what seems to be) the "old-fashioned" way. Anyone remember God Is Going To Get Sick Of Me by Aberdeen City ? If so, you might be interested in listening to the new demo track Whose Blood Is It ? I know I was! + [...]
Laconic we have been of late, and current obligations will continue to curb the word count for awhile. We'll make very effort, though, to continue posting music we find and like and hope you do, too.

I had intended to get my best of 2006 posts up while I was at my mom's house between Christmas and New Year's. That was silly. One should not try to blog while on vacation. Then I got back into town and have been busy with job stuff, and family stuff, and band stuff, and football stuff. I thought about just abandoning this post, but I'm pretty sure that if you write a music blog, you are required by law to do a post about your favorite albums of the year. So here is mine... better late than never. [...]

Take an emo band, add maturity and talent, subtract gimmicks and angst, and you have Aberdeen City . This Boston foursome create a dark and passionate atmosphere with their catalog of complex songs that will strike nerves. "God is Going to Get Sick of Me" is a new favorite. Add this Band on Myspace [...]

Well friends, I am off for very needed vacation where I plan to read two books and drink gin & tonics all day. Oh yes, and there's always shuffleboard. Let's not forget shuffleboard. I hope you all have a very very happy holiday, and I will be back in a week completely refreshed. While I'm gone...
