Aural Sensitivity Training: July 4, 2011

There may have been a holiday, but Aural Sensitivity never takes a day off! Your training continues with another group of choice audio selections from yours truly.


Sick of Sarah, "Kiss Me"

Just one of many dynamite songs on a killer album from the all-girl band, "Kiss Me" has it all. Stand-out vocals from Abisha Uhl, smooth bass lines and great punk riffs will keep your toe tapping.


Lady Gaga, "Marry The Night"

The opening track to Gaga's newest album, "Marry The Night" partners her awesomely off-the-wall lyrics with some poppy electric keyboarding and gritty guitar mixing for a helluva match. This is the first of many guilty pleasure tracks from Born This Way.


KT Tunstall, "Uummannaq Song"

KT's bluesy sound has been catching my ear for years now, and her latest album was no exception. Even if I can't say the title correctly, "Uummannaq Song" is phenomenal.


Freelance Whales, "Kilojoules"

If you've been avoiding good music, then you probably haven't heard anything from indie rockers Freelance Whales. "Kilojoules" could place frontman Judah Dadone squarely on the map with his wonderfully light tones and fuzzy lyrics. Well, I feel warm and fuzzy when I listen to it. Screw you.


ESPN, ESPN: Football Today

I know. There's no football. It sucks. To help get through (and keep up with) the lockout, ESPN's football-only podcast is the source for you. New episodes release most Tuesdays and Thursdays. Ross Tucker gives analysis from an ex-player and ex-pro and collegiate scout Matt Williamson can break it down like no one I've ever heard. M-Dub tackles everything from personnel moves to to game strategies to on-the-field techniques. He's a know-it-all who actually knows it all. Oh, and producer Jay Soderberg brings the fan's perspective. (Even if he is a Patriots fan.)

'Till next week everyone! Keep up your training!
