Songs of the Day

This time around, I'm doing a list as I browse this year's Grammy submissions. All of these are recent songs that I've enjoyed, and want to note, especially as a convenience to myself as should I want to attempt a year-end list.

All are year 2007 or 2008.

ARTIST: David Banner featuring Chris Brown & Yung Joc
TITLE: "Get Like Me"

ARTIST: Anthony David featuring India.Arie
TITLE: "Words"

ARTIST: Liam Finn
TITLE: "Second Chance"

ARTIST: Gnarls Barkley
TITLE: "Run"

ARTIST: Jennifer Hudson
TITLE: "Spotlight"

ARTIST: Eric Hutchinson
TITLE: "Rock and Roll"

ARTIST: Jack Johnson
TITLE: "If I Had Eyes"

ARTIST: Kid Sister featuring David Banner
TITLE: "Family Reunion" (this one wasn't actually submitted, but I stuck it in anyway)

ARTIST: O.A.R.
TITLE: "Shattered (Turn the Car Around)"

It's fairly safe to say that most of the current songs I've spotlighted on this blog throughout the year have no shot at a Grammy nomination, and even less at a win, although a good many great albums and songs were submitted.

"Crazy" single (Gnarls Barkley)

I visited Half Price Books today, and I always lose self-control in that store. My purchases from there will be appearing here as I listen to them, starting with this, the single for Gnarls Barkley's worldwide smash hit "Crazy" from 2006. The duo are back now with "Run," the lead single from their second album, but this was the song that started it all. I have the St. Elsewhere album, but for some cool single art and an alternate version of "Just a Thought," I figured I'd go ahead and pick this up too. Two good tunes. I haven't listened to St. Elsewhere in a while - I should rectify that at some point.

Tracks:
1. Crazy
2. Just a Thought (Edit)
