The Long Weekend Begins With A Shortcoming...

Rob

Billy Ocean - "Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car"

Mr. T

KC & The Sunshine Band - "Give It Up!"

G-Man

Billy Joel - "The Downeaster Alexa"

Billy Joel has always been a old favourite fallback of mine. When I have kids, especially a son, I will use the words of Mr. Joel to teach him some serious life lessons. It's one thing I admire about Joel is his lyrics are always interesting and never lazy, often changing the words of the chorus each time through. This song is a lesser known track, but it showcases his talents wonderfully. It's a lament about the plight of the Long Island Fishermen, an industry close to Joel's heart, but one that has faded from relevance

Doug

Nas - "Adam & Eve"

Dano

Robert Plant - "Shine It All Around"

Jonny HP

Rise Against - "3 Day Weekend"

Lycanthropy at First Note's Sound

Rob

Dave Matthews Band - "Samurai Cop (Oh Joy Begin)"

Mr. T

Glenn Frey - "You Belong To The City"

G-Man

Snow - "Plumb Song"

Mind On The Moon was kind of a comeback album for Toronto reggae master Snow. Though he has had several albums since his debut in 1993, this was the first album with singles that broke through to the charts. In my opinion it was ahead of it's time. This song is tough to describe. The reaction people have to it is fair in their own way. Take a listen and decide for yourself and remember that this was released in the year 2000

Doug

Gorillaz - "Humility"

I didn't know what to pick this week and I found what I think is the new Gorillaz so it got the call

Something Corporate - "Punk Rock Princess"

Been recently going through some killer tracks from my youth. There was a time when I considered this edgy and punk. Now I just consider it a reminder of simpler, wonderful times. Still a fantastic track.
