The Daily Five Returns!

After a long hiatus, Diabolical H. Crazy is pleased to present the return of the Daily Five! But first, here's the Diabolical February iMix playlist. It should have been a little longer, but some of the songs didn't match up with iTunes. Anyway, on with the Daily Five!

Portugal. The Man. Here's a band I didn't know anything about until last week when I downloaded the "American Ghetto" album. I particularly like "The Dead Dog" and "1000 Years." I'm amazed such a rocking sound can come from Wasilla, AK ("The Home of the Palin Moose Burger!"). It must be the Portland in them. You can get "The Dead Dog" for free below:



I've been on a bit of a French pop kick lately (no, not the crappy French pop. The more soulful stuff by Carla Bruni, Autuor de Lucie, Josephine Baker, Valerie Leulliot, and others. Maybe I should do a French pop Daily 5?), which is how I found this song, in both English and French. Plus I'm a sucker for the Moody Blues. I remember walking down Broken Fence Way listening to "The Other Side of Life" on a boom box on my shoulder (updated review: it's a really, really, really bad album. But I thought I was cool).



I missed seeing Local Natives during their last two LA Shows, and then their album got yanked from eMusic and re-released by another label. So I waited and waited to finally check it out (legally). I like what I hear. And though I missed their shows, you can find me clapping along to this song at home.


I'm taking the easy way out today and posting another Local Natives song. What, do you think I sit around and blog all day? NO! I gots to make money somehow.
