It's a new year and as everyone is trying to live up to their ridiculous New Years resolutions, we decided to focus on the idea of the clean slate.

Husker Du / New Day Rising

"Found a Job" Talking Heads
"If your work isn't what you love, then something isn't right."

"Dutch" Dessa
"I'm pushing this luck all the way to the coast, I'm throwin' it over to see if it floats."

"I Will Dare" The Replacements. I think the title says it all.

Make some changes in 2012!!!

first day of my life--bright eyes

my life is starting over again--daniel johnston

something better beginning--the kinks

get by--talib kweli

"This morning, I woke up
Feeling brand new I jumped up
Feeling my highs, and my lows
In my soul, and my goals
Just to stop smokin, and stop drinkin
But I've been thinkin - I've got my reasons
Just to get (by), just to get (by)"

How about "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" by Daft Punk? Gives you that extra push to get goin' in the new year. Time to one-up the new year.
