Caged Falling




Rob

Smashing Pumpkins - "Silvery Sometimes (Ghosts)"




Mr. T

K7 - "Hi De Ho



G-Man

Snot - "Snot"

We should really do a theme week about band names and song names being the same thing. Snot was a hardcore-punk group that infused themes of reggae, ska, and metal. While ahead of their time, they were short lived as lead singer Lynn Strait was killed in a car accident in 1998.


Doug

Duckwrth Shaboozey - "Start A Riot"

Spider Man: Enter The Spiderverse soundtrack is as good as the movie! Both should be checked out

Xmas By The Amplifier Hum



4 days away folks! It's Christmastime again and we here at Song Of The Day have decided to once again showcase some of our favourite Holiday tunes!! Rob.....get it on...

Rob-nosed Reindeer

Eve 6 - "Noel Noel"



Mr. Tanenbaum

Run DMC - "Christmas In Hollis"



Giftwrapped-Man

No Doubt - "Oi To The World"

Not sure if i've picked this one for Xmas in the past or not. Ah, screw it. Nothing more fun than that infectious bass line and Gwen Stefani's vocals recanting a tale of race drive gang violence quashed by the magic of Christmas. It's originally a Vandals tune, but I dig this version's energy a little more.

Rocktober rages on. Thought about this album today and how goddamn good it is. It's a shame I don't own it. An easily fixable situation that shall reveal itself soon

For now, this album is where Slipknot ends for me. I'm sure i'll come around and get into their new stuff. But their first for albums are absolutely perfect. Love them all. Just a definite reflection of a heavy metal lifespan.

Rob

The Arcade Fire - "Neighbourhood #3 (Power Out)"



Mr. T

Aliotta Haynes Jeremiah - "Lake Shore Drive"



G-Man

Little Big Town - "Tornado"

We should have done tornado themed music

Cake - "Satan Is My Motor"



Jonny HP

"Show Me The Way To Go Home" from Jaws



Friday 14 September 2018

Between The Desert and Air



Rob

Smashing Pumpkins - "Cherub Rock"


Mr. T

TBD

G-Man

Rocky Votolato - "Mixtapes/Cellmates"

Discovered this one while going through old Punk compilations from the late 90's. I know this doesn't seem punk, but punk musicians always have a soft side. The lyrics to this one could have been written by a 18 year old me.


Doug

Peter Elkas - "Fall Apart Again"


Dano

Blues Saraceno - "Grave Digger"



Jonny HP

Metallica - "Some Kind Of Monster"


Thursday 6 September 2018

Chevelle - "The Red"



Mr. T

Otis Taylor - "Ten Million Slaves"



G-Man

The Fall Of Troy - "F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X"

I fookin' love when the lead singer also shreds on guitar in a band. Such is the case with Fall Of Troy. I love the part that starts around the 3 minute mark, especially the bass pulls. One of my all time faves.


Doug

Spirit Of The West - "Home For A Rest"



Dano

Green Lung - "Lady Lucifer"



Jonny HP

Gwar - "Immortal Corruptor"

Note from G-Man: Holy Fuck Yes It All

Rob

Brass Against The Machine - "Wake Up"



Mr. T

Trooper - "Round Round We Go"



G-Man

This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb - "Depression"

Perusing someone's album collection is a great and favourite way of mine to learn about new artists. I follow Laura Jane Grace on Twitter and every now and then she'll simply tweet about an album that she's rockin' or spinning at the moment. Most often than not i'll snag a listen to it as well, that's how I discovered This Is Bike Is A Pipe Bomb.


This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb - "This Is What I Want"




Doug

Manuel Costa - "Hey There Delilah" feat. May & June

Aretha Franklin - "The Weight" feat. Duane Allman

I know I never talked much much about the Queen of Soul, but her impact on the world of Rock and Roll is undeniable. Her paths crossed with the Allman Brothers during a few recording sessions at Mussel Shoals. Here is one of the lucky occasions when the mic was on and recording


Doug

Gravediggaz - "Diary Of A Madman"


Aretha Frankling - "Think"



Dano

Ida Corr vs. Fedde Le Grande - "Let Me Think About It"

Once it's in there it's so hard to get out of my head. And I think Aretha would have approved.


Jonny HP

Dagoba - "Yes We Die"



Thursday 9 August 2018

Start At The Middle and Expand



Rob

Our Lady Peace - "Julia"



Mr. T

Styx - "Too Much Time On My Hands"



Little River Band - "Lonesome Loser"





G-Man

Silverchair - "Emotion Sickness"

Track 1 on the oft overlooked Neon Ballroom. It hits hard and comes out of the gate unexpectedly. Shows their maturity as songwriters, but this album and the constant touring also marked the beginning of Silverchair's slide into obscurity. Which is a shame. Tonnes of great stuff on this album


Doug

A-Ha - "Take On Me" (Live)



Dano

Shred Kelly - "Jupiter"



Jonny HP

Korn - "A Different World feat. Cory Taylor"
