I thought I skip a week, but when I woke up on Monday morning with this familiar song (dedicated to Mondays!) by the Bangles stuck in my head, it felt OK to post.
This one should take you back, here's Manic Monday by The Bangles, enjoy!
Manic Monday
I've become pretty compulsive about the way my blog posts are solely dedicated to the random songs that play in my head on Sunday mornings. Yesterday, something rare happened. I had an original tune in my head (I believe it originated in my own mind, either that or it's an existing tune that I couldn't remember, whatever it was it was a lousy tune and I can't remember it now, and this parenthesis is super long) and so I couldn't make an authentic post yesterday.

The Coming Up Roses
Today's song came as a HUGE surprise, it's from a fantastic (and relatively unknown) band called Rodeo Ruby Love. This is "The Coming Up Roses" which is the 6th track on their 2010 album "THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS.
Before I show you the song, let me tell you what's great about this track:
Lots of things.
First and foremost though is that it's not a typical pop song by any means. It's a little 'all over the place' and presents several different ideas as it progresses. But the best part, for me is when the band comes in singing in unison (think 'Carry That Weight' by the Beatles)
Most of us had hit rock bottom
before we chose to acknowledge the effort that goes in.
Most of us were strapped for meaning,
so we stood up and started swinging and landed a good shot on the chin.
Most of us were riding shotgun
1970 Plymouth Valiant to Carmel and back again
I don't know what it is about this song, just the energy of it all and the band members singing in unison, it's just rad.
Guess what!?!? Today's song gives me enough music to have filled another compilation disc, NOW THAT'S WHAT BRADY'S SUBCONSCIOUS CALLS MUSIC! VOLUME 3.
You could win this disc. I don't want to make a big deal about this, but just leave a comment here and I'll send you a copy of this disc along with some other surprises. Seriously, just make a comment. I dare you!
(If I happen to not know you, maybe leave a way I can contact you, email or phone number or address or something. If you aren't comfortable doing that you can email me cashbrady@gmail.com)
And now the sad part, where we say goodbye to each other.

Technologic
Don't ask me how this one happened. It's a long story and I don't have the time.
Here's "Technologic" by French duo, Daft Punk. I hope the creepy little robot with headgear doesn't creep you out too much.
Scared much? Sorry about this one.

Let It Happen
Once in awhile I get to blog about a song here and I get super excited to do it.
Today is one of those days.
This song comes from Australian band, Tame Impala. From the first song I ever heard from this band, I was hooked- check them out.
Today's song is from their latest album, 2015's "Currents." It's the opening track and it's almost time to listen to it:
But before you do, let me encourage you to listen to the whole song, it's almost 8 minutes long, but it takes a journey that it fantastic. The whole album is about making waves, as even indicated by the cool, but simple album artwork.
"It's always around me, all this noise" Kevin Parker sings as he delves into the deep things in his mind that he's been suppressing and has been dying to let out.
"Let is happen" he demands of himself "An ocean growing inside" whether he's talking about his artistry, or something else, I'm sure we know what it's like to fight urges and to hold something inside.
Then something occurs midway through this electronic track, as the music sort of glitches and loses control, like a skipping record. Then lyrically it shifts and he continues through a now manipulated and almost haunting voice repeating over and over:
"I will not vanish and you will not scare me
Try to get through it, try to bounce to it
All the while thinking I might as well do it
They be lovin' someone and I'm not that stupid
Take the next ticket to take the next train
Why would I do it? And you wanna think that"
and then a counter-melody:
"Oh, maybe I was ready all along
Oh, maybe I was ready all along
Oh, maybe all I wanted was the sound
Oh but maybe I was ready all along"
Wow, I love it.
Farts. (I wrote that because technically this is a humor blog, but I don't want you to think I've gotten too serious)
