♫ Ace Reporter – Untouched And Arrived (Day 75)

Besides providing great music recommendations and always entertaining concert stories, my man Train over at AudioMuffin also knows this guy named Chris. Chris used to be in a band called The States but they’re on hiatus now and Chris is taking advantage of that time to write a song a day for the whole of 2010. Yeah. Read that again to make sure you got it right. Chris’ moniker for the project is Ace Reporter and he is now 191 days in. These are the kinds of projects you hear about a lot but rarely are they more than an exercise in ego/discipline. Ace reporter is actually cranking out great music! I haven’t even began to listen to them all but one that caught my ear in Train’s first post on the project was “Untouched And Arrived.” If I didn’t trust my sources so much I wouldn’t believe this was recored in a day! This is a fully formed jam here! I love that big drum thump and those hand-claps and I can’t help but sing along with the chorus. Damn, I just did some poking around Ace’s best of (so far) list and found this amazing track from day 96.

♫ Ace Reporter – Day Is Done (Day 96)

“Day Is Done” is a straight rock anthem that is radio caliber as far as I’m concerned. If this jam came on while I was driving I know my pedal foot would get a little heavier and my steering wheel tapping would increase about 7 degrees. And that’s not even mentioning the song’s historically awesome lyrics! Ace introduces them best here. Damn, Ace! I’m fucking impressed. Well, I don’t know about you all but I’m pumped to see what Ace Reporter cooks up for us through the end of the year and what he does with all these great tracks come 2011.
