things i like to do by ben kweller
ben kweller had a song of the day once, with the bens. but today, ben – you get your own. things i like to do (lyrics and chords). congrats. why? because the song’s fun. and meaningful. and i feel charitable. i can’t hate on you just because you had one song on here with a few other bens. just like i can’t hate on – oh i don’t know – ben gibbard with death cab and postal service and jay farrar and andrew kenny.
so alt-rock on ben kweller. his newest album, changing horses, is definitely his furthest into the realm of altcountry and highly enjoyable. even if it is only 10 songs. itunes – i blame you! that’s a diatribe for a different time, but think about music trends, economics, itunes, album prices, and music revenue streams… and you can put all the pieces together for why itunes is pushing everyone towards shorter albums and more premium content. ugg!
things i like to do from changing horses by ben kweller ; alt-country 2009.
some bonus songs i love off changing horses – gypsy rose and fight.

city noise and a gun by the everybodyfields
today’s song of the day is city noise by the everybodyfields… and a gun by the everybodyfields.
since this is a male/female singer-songwriter duo, it only seems right to showcase a song performed by both sam quinn (sam quinn and japan ten) and jill andrews. they’re no longer together, instead doing their own things. sad really. if they tied the knot, maybe we’d score a sweet combo sort of like the weepies. here’s to hoping…

when one song isn’t enough (wosie!) – broken hearts and dirty windows
when one song isn’t enough (wosie!), an album deserves a spotlight. a shout out. a holla back. wait, that’s not right. anyway, today’s wosie! is the new compilation album from ohboy records titled broken hearts and dirty windows. the whole album happens to be a tribute to john prine, and each song is an original work from prine that’s been redone by the likes of justin vernon (bon iver), josh ritter, the avett brothers, drive-by truckers, deer tick…
so, to wet your whistle, here’s in spite of ourselves by john prine with iris dement. and since there is no need to reinvent the wheel, here is bhdw’s website that features links to all the artists featured.
from the album (but not live), connor oberst and the mystic valley band (connor oberst = from bright eyes) performing wedding day in funeralville
another from the album, justin vernon’s version of bruised orange (chain of sorrow)
same duo as the album, but liz isenberg and deer tick are rocking out to friday the 13th instead…
another unrelated song from a related artist. those darlins in red light love, this video is uh-mazing!

cinderella by langhorne slim
today’s song of the day was really yesterday’s song of the day, langhorne slim‘s cinderella (lyrics).
what makes this song epic? the lyrics? yes. langhorne slim’s awesome singer-songwriterness? yes. but, really, it’s the little question answer session in the beginning. cinderella? yes my handsome fella. and so on and so forth! epic. freaking epic. ahhhh… horay for the potential of crowd participation. and the piano!
cinderella from be set free by langhorne slim ; anti-folk 2008.
extras: langhorne slim, singing the song ‘lord’ (lyrics).
