Wednesday's Tune - "Halfway Gone" by Lifehouse
Lifehouse burst on the scene with the tune "Hanging by a Moment" back in 2001 which I thought was pretty good and it went all the way to #2 on the Billboard Top 40 chart. Since then they have had several singles on the charts including "You and Me" (#5) and "Whatever It Takes" (#23). But their new song "Halfway Gone" really grabbed my attention from the first haunting oooohhhh that kicks off the song. The verse builds perfectly and the chorus delivers like nobodies business. If you like a strong pop song take a listen to "Halfway Gone" and you won't be disappointed (#79 on Billboard chart and climbing!!!)

American Idol - Missed Wed nite will check out the recaps
I caught Tuesday nites show from Chicago the windy city and overall I was less than impressed..nothing really great and nothing really interesting. Hopefully the show tonight from Orlando was much better. I still have "Pants on the Ground" from last week and the unforgettable Skibolski both from the Boston auditions (I think :)). On top of that some of the singers last week were really really good. I'll check out the recaps from Orlando and include some thoughts on my Thursday post tomorrow.
Almost didn't make my Wednesday post in time its 11:22 PM EST and counting...16 days straight for our Daily Blog don't wanna start missing it now. Will be back tomorrow with another cool song and some more music fun!

Fridays Featured Song - "Come On Get Higher"
Matt Nathanson spent the better part of 15 years doing the indie thing playing venues across America and steadily building up a fan base. Matt finally hit paydirt when the 2nd single "Come on Get Higher" from his 6th album "Some Mad Hope" hit the Billboard Hot 100 Chart and went all the way to #3 on the AC Chart. The album came out in 2007 but the single finally caught file in 2009 and helped land Matt on both the David Letterman show and Ellen DeGenerous show. This acoustic marvel has an infectious groove that you won't want to put down and it was perfect for Valentines week on Letterman last year. Take a listen to Matt's live performance from the show here:

Late Night Battles - when will it endddd??
Okay so Conan says he won't do the TOnight show at 12:05 (I guess we'd have to call it the Morning show and Johnny Carson would be turning over in his grave)....so now will Leno take back the Tonight show at 11:35 or will someone else new take over...will it ever be the same if Leno takes it back (and more importantly will Jay miss that extra 90 minutes of sleep if he does). Not sure where its all going (and there are definitely more important things going on in the world) so we'll just have to wait and see.
"Pants on the Ground" - Simon Sez so its a hit.
62 year old General Larry Platt entertained us all with his funny tune "Pants on the Ground" this week on American Idol. Simon needed to hear it just once when he commented "I Have a horrible feeling that song could be a hit" and turns out his prophecy was true. "Pants on the Ground" has spread like wild fire on the internet with several popular remixes. Here the original here "Pants on the Ground" - YouTube
Have a great Friday nite and be back to you tomorrow with a cool indie pop song!
