The House of Love - "I Don't Know Why I Love You"

From 1989, this "I Don't Know Why I Love You" came my way yesterday and I recalled how much I LOVE IT. The House of Love is an English alternative rock band. Formed in 1986, the band rose to prominence in the UK as a leading indie rock band in 1988 and split up in 1993, eventually reforming a decade later in 2003. The band is best known for its detailed psychedelic guitar sound and for the successful singles "Shine On", "Christine" and "Destroy the Heart". The best-known members of The House of Love are singer/songwriter/guitarist Guy Chadwick and lead guitarist/backing singer Terry Bickers, who were the creative core of the original band until an acrimonious split in 1989 and who reformed the band together in 2003.

Daft Punk - Derezzed [Avicii Vocal Remix] (2011)

Daft Punk did the song Derezzed for the movie TRON. Can't say that I'm a fan, and I didn't much care for the original version of the song. It simply lacked vocals to back up a pretty hot track, but Avicii to the rescue. If you're into House, you know Avicii has been simply tearing up the scene this year. The song Levels has been this years mega-hit, and I can't stop listening. This remix of Derezzed is no exception, and the bar has been set once again!

The Uptones - Out To Sea (1984)

The Uptones formed in Berkeley, California while band members Eric Dinwiddie (aka, "Din"), Paul Jackson, Ben Eastwood and Charles Stella were attending Berkeley High School and Cazadero Performing Arts Camp. They were originally inspired to start a ska band in 1981 after attending an English Beat show in San Francisco. The Uptones were heavily influenced by the English 2 Tone sound, as well as the British mod scene, punk rock, and the original Jamaican ska sound from the late 1950s. "OUT TO SEA" by The Uptones is part of the long-out-of-print LP from "The Quake FM99 presents: Rock of '84" which featured 10 tracks by some of the best San Francisco Bay Area bands.
