Song of the Week (Naked & Famous - Punching in a Dream)

Welp, that game sure sucked. Am I wrong? Rest easy, SOTW won't feature football until next October when the real Showdown occurs. Last weekend was just an anomaly...

This song is dedicated to Occupy Wall Street. You guys are fighting the good fight...right?
Excerpt from the "Good Neighbor Policy": OWS will limit drumming on the site to 2 hours per day, between the hours of 11am and 5pm only (OHHHH NOOOO THEY DIDN'T!)

In all seriousness, if I didn't have a job, I'd probably wanna party...I mean occupy, too.

Naked & Famous understand what you (occupants) are going through, and they empathize: "Punching in a Dream"

Personally, I heart this song so much because it sounds so happy, but the lyrics are so frightening. Sort of the opposite of Lou Reed's "Perfect Day". The lyrics are happy but overlaid with a haunting arrangement.

Naked & Famous will be dominating at the Granada circa next Thursday night. It's a sold out show, but you should still try and get tickets because this band both legit, and nearly peaking right now. Kinda like Foster the People, except enjoyable.

I hope to see many of you at the Black Angels tonight. Oh Man...it's going to destroy!

So, we are one week closer to a very special SOTW. Here's a hint: There will be synthesizers...

Hope you Dig,
