Waking Ear

We have a pact, you and I. I write down what song I had in my head when I woke up in the morning. And, maybe, why. You click on "What's in your waking ear?" and tell me what's in your head right now. We discover new music and maybe learn something about how our minds work. Yeah?

I'm still messing with the blog; the following post comes from Schmubb:

"The Rat" -The Walkmen

Phant came to me about a month and a half ago and told me that this song was unbelievable. I had heard if faintly from my computer speakers while listening to KEXP at work. I believe Phant said it was the best song that had been released in 2004 up until then. I wholeheartedly agree with that claim. I don't know what it is about the song that makes it so amazing. The elements that stick out to me are the soaring guitar strummed at one hundred miles an hour, the military drumming that reminds me of "Sunday Bloody Sunday", and the amazing vocals that come out of Hamilton's throat. Whatever it is, it has been stuck in my head daily, at least a bit, since I first heard it. It is stuck in my head again today. My question to all y'all is:

Is there a better song released so far this year?

P.S. Thanks to all who wished Bri-ness and I a happy engagement. It has definitly been wonderful and I expect it to continue that way through the hitching process...

Comments:
As I said before, I'd go with Eamon's "Fuck It."
 
i really like that Broken Social Scene song... the one with the girl in it? I don't remember the name. It RULED live.
