Inspired by the Super Bowl last night, here are a few of my favorite songs featured in ads aired during the game.

1. We Are Young | Fun Ft. Janelle Monae (Chevy Sonic “Stunt Anthem”)

2. The Animals | Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood (David Beckham for H&M)

3. Mash-up of “She Sells Sanctuary” by The Cult and “Good Feeling” by Flo Rida (made specifically for this Budweiser spot below) <–by far the most original soundtrack this year

I first listened to Real Estate a few weeks ago, and these songs have been on my playlist ever since.

1. Real Estate | Easy

2. Real Estate | Green Isles

3. Real Estate | Kinder Blumen

Tonight we’re going to see Yuck and Dinosaur Jr. play at Grand Central.  Even though Yuck is the opening band, I’m mostly excited to see them. Wishing everyone a great week!

1. Yuck | Shook Down*

2. Yuck | Get Away

3. Yuck | Georgia

*You can see the original video for Shook Down here. I left it out because it contains some potentially inappropriate content.

Welcome to Musical Mondays. Kicking off today, I’ll be posting a few of my favorite songs each week – some old, some new.

Since Mondays are always a little tough, I’m hoping this will help us ease into the week. You may find a tune or two that you like.

Here are this week’s picks:

1. Architecture in Helsinki | Escapee

2. Young the Giant | Cough Syrup

3. Neutral Milk Hotel | In the Aeroplane over the Sea

Interpol’s amazing performance at the Jackie Gleason Theater in Miami Beach last Friday has left me listening to their music all week.

For some people, lead singer Paul Bank’s unique voice is a bit of an acquired taste. I personally find it soothing in a hard-to-explain, up-beat kind of way.

Below are links to five of my favorite Interpol songs to-date:

- The New
- Next Exit
- Obstacle 2
- Narc
- Lief Erikson

They’ve also just released their 4th album, and with it, two new official (and pretty cool) videos that can be seen here.
