Song of the Week 12/10/2007 by Rogue Wave

Rogue Wave performs Late Michigan Live

Welcome back to The Song of The Week. We were lucky to have heard this song. We were hard at work researching aka half asleep on the couch just flipping through the channels and saw a new Zune commercial. Lake Michigan was playing in the background and we were really interested. A few clicks later we found their myspace and the rest is history. The band is currently not on tour but they have a few tracks on their myspace page. We hope you like the song. Have a great week.

Song of the Week 08/27/2007 By Modest Mouse

Modest Mouse preforms Missed the Boat live

This week’s song comes to you after the most intense (if you can consider listening to music on you tube intense) song of the week search to date. After searching for some time we decided on Modest Mouse Missed the Boat. The song is fitting because 12:00 was fast approaching and we had still not picked a song. We hope you enjoy this week’s song as much as we do.

On a lighter note, 66% of The song of the Week staff will actually be seeing Modest Mouse live September 8^th at McCarren Park Pool. We will be sure to update you as to how the show went. Let us know if you will be at the show.
