• Song of the Day #1,592: ‘We Are Young’ – fun.

  Number of comments: 3
  I’m not prepared to write a proper review of the new fun. album, Some Nights, because I’ve listened to it only a couple of times all the way through. But I can say that I already love it. The oddly punctuated trio most resemble a modern-day incarnation of Queen, with [...]

• Song of the Day #1,591: ‘Red’ – Taylor Swift

  Number of comments: 4
  Since the release of Taylor Swift’s new album, Red, I’ve read several versions of the same joke: referencing the country-pop superstar’s penchant for writing scathing break-up songs about the many men who’ve wronged her, people have begun to suggest “Taylor, maybe it’s you…” That idea ran through my mind more [...]

• Song of the Day #1,590: ‘Moon On My Shoulder’ – Lyle Lovett

  Enclosure: [download]

  This track, from Lyle Lovett’s 1994 album I Love Everybody, runs two minutes and 20 seconds. It probably took Lovett about 30 seconds more than to write it. I Love Everybody is half a great album and half a forgettable one. It is made up of songs written before the [...]

• Song of the Day #1,589: ‘Good Love Is On the Way’ – John Mayer Trio

  Number of comments: 1
  John Mayer is often dismissed (sometimes rightly) as a mellow soft rock artist aimed a little too squarely at the Starbucks crowd. But anybody who doubts Mayer’s considerable guitar chops, or his affinity for the blues rock of his idols Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix, should check out his 2005 [...]

• Song of the Day #1,584: ‘Penny Lane’ – Elvis Costello

  Number of comments: 2
  The recent reelection of President Barack Obama has eaten away at my time, both personally and professionally, to a degree that has endangered my ability to post a new song each day. I’m actually writing day to day right now, rather than having a week or so worth of blog [...]

• Song of the Day #1,583: ‘Detours’ – Sheryl Crow

  Number of comments: 3
  I can’t decide what I think of Sheryl Crow. At one point I really liked her music — particularly the Globe Sessions album, which I find strong start to finish — but later I soured on her. I sometimes detect something inauthentic and sterile in her music, a safeness and [...]
