Your DailyCrack

Gauntlet Hair- Out, Don’t

so, your daily crack is two years old today. i’ve been here for most of that time and have enjoyed it. i want to express a big thank you to the blog’s creator and to all our current and former contributors for that and for their work here. if i could ask anything of you all today, it would be to check out our archives to see if you find anything you like. there are over 800 songs to listen to. i’ve said this before, but one of my favorite things is to see someone like or reblog something from more than a week ago. gives me the warm-and-fuzzies. anyway, hooray us.

now. about this song. gauntlet hair is a duo from colorado.  ‘out, don’t’ is a fun romp- it almost feels like a two year old running around chasing bubbles. what better way to celebrate our second birthday?

The Chordettes - Lollipop (Squeak E. Clean & Desert Eagles Remix)

WHAT?!?!

This song is like crack (heh heh). I  have not been able to stop listening to this infectious remix all weekend. Like the original wasn’t hard enough to get out of your head! If the original was a virus then this remix is like an antibiotic resistant strain.

Alright…enough nerdy references. Enjoy the crack!

Lucy Pearl - Dance Tonight

Like all great artistic collaborations, Lucy Pearl was over before they started and left us all wanting more. Dance Tonight might be the only single that came out with original member and En Vogue diva Dawn Robinson in the picture. I’m pretty sure they tried to replace her but we see how that went.

Dance Tonight is a great easy listen and gave us a glimpse of what these guys coulda/woulda/shoulda done. All good tho - they’re still making music even if not together. Enjoy!

LCD Soundsystem - Home

After digesting this album for a couple of weeks…. i approve and my feelings are still growing.  My favorites right now are Dance Yrself Clean, You Wanted a Hit, and the featured song Home.  I debated back and forth about which one to post, but Home has been the song I flip to whenever I get in my car.  Also, the one that gets a hell of a bedroom performance from me.  This is a perfect album closer to me, it has a great feel to it and leaves me happy.  Close down every club with this song this summer.

Take me home

Just do it right
Make it perfect and real
Because it’s everything
No everything was never the deal

So grab your things and stumble into the night
So we can shut the door
Oh, shut the door on terrible times

Yeah, do it right
And head again into space
So you can carry on
And carry on, and fall all over the place

This is the trick, forget a terrible year
That we can break the laws
Until it gets weird

And this is what you waited for
But under lights, we’re all unsure
So tell me
What would make you feel better?

As night has such a local ring
And love and rock are pick-up things
And you know it
Yeah, you know it
Yeah, you know

Take

Forget your past
This is your last chance now
And we can break the rules
Like nothing will last

You might forget
Forget the sound of a voice
Still you should not forget
Yeah, don’t forget
The things that we laughed about

And after rolling on the floor
And thankfully, a few make sure that you get home
And you stay home
And you better

‘Cause you’re afraid of what you need
Yeah, you’re afraid of what you need
If you weren’t, yeah you weren’t
Then I don’t know what we’d talk about

Yeah no one ever knows what you’re talking about
So i guess you’re already there
No one opens up when you scream and shout
But it’s time to make a couple things clear

If you’re afraid of what you need
If you’re afraid of what you need
Look around you, you’re surrounded
It won’t get any better

Until the night  

Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band - Old Time Rock And Roll

CLASSIC!

Who doesn’t like this song?

***scans room as several hands are raised***

SHAME ON YOU. Go to the rock hall of fame and repent for your transgressions! This song is pure greatness and Seger’s muttonchops are fantastic to boot! So go ahead press play, bow your head in shame and do your penance. And then, enjoy.

Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band - Old Time Rock And Roll

Just take those old records off the shelf 
I’ll sit and listen to ‘em by myself 
Today’s music aln ‘t got the same soul 
I like that old time rock ‘n’ roll

Don’t try to take me to a disco 
You’ll never even get me out on the floor 
In ten minutes I’ll be late for the door 
I like that old time rock’n’ roll 

Still like that old time rock’n’ roll 
That kind of music just soothes the soul 
I reminisce about the days of old 
With that old time rock ‘n’ roll 

Won’t go to hear them play a tango 
I’d rather hear some blues or funky old soul 
There’s only sure way to get me to go 
Start playing old time rock ‘n’ roll 

Call me a relic, call me what you will 
Say I’m old-fashioned, say I’m over the hill 
Today’ music ain’t got the same soul 
I like that old time rock ‘n’ roll 

Still like that old time rock’n’ roll 
That kind of music just soothes the soul 
I reminisce about the days of old 
With that old time rock ‘n’ roll

The 5.6.7.8’s - I’m Blue

I had thought up a whole lot to say about the 5.6.7.8’s a while ago but I have a headache now. So I’ll keep it short and sweet.

They’re an awesome lil girl rock group from Japan that you’ve probably heard before (wooo hoooo, woooo hooo hooo). Quentin Tarentino has a great ear for music and is probably largely responsible for any exposure they’ve gotten stateside.

I like dancing around to them and hopefully you will too. Enjoy!

The 5.6.7.8’s - I’m Blue

I’m blue-oo-oo oo-oo, doo-be-doo-be-doo-be-doo.
I’m blue-oo-oo oo-oo, doo-be-doo-be-doo-be-doo.
I’m blue-oo-oo, I’m blue, doo-be-doo-be-doo-be-blue.

I dropped a penny in the well,
Hopin’ you would come back soon.
A fortune teller told me,
My love with you-ooo was through.
I hope she was wrong,
‘Cause you been gone too long. Come home.

I’m blue-oo-oo oo-oo, doo-be-doo-be-doo-be-doo.
I’m blue-oo-oo oo-oo, doo-be-doo-be-doo-be-doo.
I’m blue-oo-oo, I’m blue, doo-be-doo-be-doo-be-blue.

Every night about two,
My love for you comes tumblin’ down.
(I can’t stand being here alone. )
I start to a-feelin’ and a-fumblin’,
But you ain’t nowhere around. 
(I hope her reading was wrong. )
I hope she was wrong,
‘Cause you been gone too long. Come home.

I’m blue-oo-oo oo-oo, doo-be-doo-be-doo-be-blue.
I’m blue-oo-oo oo-oo, doo-be-doo-be-doo-be-blue.
I’m blue-oo-oo, I’m blue, doo-be-doo-be-doo-be-blue.

Lady Gaga - Bad Romance (Album Version)

The other night my roommate and I were discussing how this song would be AWESOME to vogue to and…knowing how much Gaga loves the gays…I wouldn’t be surprised if she had added all of the ooh las and rah rahs explicitly for the purpose. So…now that I have that thought in my head, I really want to see some kick ass voguing to Bad Romance. I’m also really excited that DragRace is going to be on soon so hopefully they can have a lip sync on one of the episodes to this.
