Thera ou Santorin



Rob

Three Days Grace - "Now Or Never"


Mr. T

Mink DeVille - "Mixed Up Shook Up Girl"


G-Man

Frightened Rabbit - "My Backwards Walk"

I was a bit mixed up and confused earlier this week. I'm back now. Not wearing my hat on my feet nor my shoes on my head. However, on this warm Summer night, I bring with me this song, which is great for sitting in my garden throne, watching the beacons of the moon appearing one by one



Doug

The Verve Pipe - "The Freshman"



Dano

Rush - "La Villa Strangiato"

PS it's Alex Lifeson's birthday today


Queens Of The Stone Age - "No One Knows"

And Songs For The Deaf  came out 18 years ago today

Jonny HP

TBD

Mike D

Travis Scott - "The Plan"


J.B.

Blitzen Trapper - "Furr"

So I try and find tracks that capture a feeling or a moment or a memory. A little sappy but i'm cool with it. Nothing's better than having a song that helps me reflect on camping trips. Rather than your classics which might send you to that 'special' place this is one of my favourite latest tracks, hell it's even full of imagery and nature sounds. If you're really jonesing for some outdoor reflection  without getting out there, go watch some Hinterland Who's Who! As for me, i'll be back in few days..

Slate Unclean



Rob

Death Cab For Cutie - "Cath"


Mr. T

The Coasters - "Yakety Yak"


G-Man

Cauterize - "Choke"

I remember this band back when they were known as T.O.E. Thought they had a ton of potential for a Hard Rock group from Oshawa, Ontario. Looks like they changed their name to Cauterize and broke up shortly after. At least they have this one fantastic album as their legacy. Tons of great tracks on it


Doug

Whitney Houston - "How Will I Know" (Junior Vasquez Remix)


Dano

Big Sugar - "Heart Refuse To Pound"



Jonny HP

Badflower - "30"


Mike D

Juice WRLD - "Wishing Well"


J.B.

The Get Up Kids - "Mass Pike"

Everytime I hear The Get Up Kids or one of their many off shoot "Projects" it sends me to my 20s. While the band saw limited mainstream success in the early to mid 2000s I feel they missed the boat due to the scream-o/pop-punk saturating the airwaves at the time. But, after 2 decades they returned last year and released a new album and their sound has matured, it's still an unfettered pleaser. Enjoy and happy Friday kidz.

Spark, The Tuning Coil



Rob

Elton John - "Your Song"


Mr. T

Clarence Clemons & Jackson Browne - "You're A Friend Of Mine"

Stumbled across this one while climbing down the rabbit hole that is Youtube


G-Man

The Ramones - "53rd & 3rd"

God bless the Ramones. Didn't fuck around. Stuck to a winning formula and rode it all the way to the end. They knew when it was time to end as well. This is off their first album, maybe a bit of a deep track, but still has the punk fundamentals down to a tee. That Dee Dee Ramone bridge though...


Doug

The Beatles - "Dear Prudence"


Dano

Sean Rowe - "To Leave Something Behind"



Jonny HP

Cypress Hill - "Rock Superstar"


Mike D

The Tragically Hip - "50 Mission Cap"

Song for the Toronto fans


Walk Off The Earth - "Red Hands"


J.B.

Hazel English - "I'm Fine"


Thursday 6 August 2020

Pitch White





Rob

Goo Goo Dolls - "Name"




Mr. T

Florence & The Machine - "I'm Going Down" feat. Kid Harpoon

Springsteen Cover. Stumbled across this one on the satellite radio and almost like it more that Springsteen's version. Great use of harmonies!!



G-Man

Jeff Rosenstock - "9/10"

This song has one of those familiar sounds, even if you've never heard it. It could be from one of multiple different decades. Cool sound. Effortless.


Doug

My Kullsvik - "Hello"



Dano

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - "Ten Thousand Hours"



Jonny HP

TBD

Mike D

Aftertaste - "Loud Luxury" feat. Morgan St. Jean




J.B.

Ketch Harbour Wolves - "The Signs Were Everywhere"

Since 2006 this Toronto band has really kept to their roots and have a great all around sound that's only developed and matured. They're less heard of but have kept providing me with some gems. It's music you can take anywhere. This track was actually featured in a great Canadian doc called Nine Rivers. Check it out
