Friday Music Special: May 23

"Strength In Numbers" - The Music
Infectious & addictive. The perfect afternoon frustration-with-work song.

"Shockwave" - Black Tide
In the mood for a good ol' fashioned thrash-fest, complete with hair, grime, and power vox? Look no further, true believers...

"The Quest" - Bryn Christopher
Throwback, a la Amy Winehouse - but black, and a dude. Classy and slick. This track is the ideal song to play in your head while walking in slow motion down the street.

"Sweet About Me" - Gabriella Cilmi
I don't love it. And I'm close to being fed up with B-versions of the aforementioned Winehouse, but Ms. Cilmi's ok for now. This is a song I'd play like Rob Gordon - as in, put it on to ignore.

"Trick Me" - Kelis
Yes, that Kelis, now with less kitsch.

Secret Sauce: 
"Theme From Indiana Jones" - John Williams
I struggled with linking to the pseudo-music video or the live version being played by a Tom Menino look-alike. Went with the former. For your pleasure. And if you didn't see this coming, well, I just don't know what to say...
