 Rob

Death Cab For Cutie - "I will Follow You Into The Dark"


Mr. T

Josh Turner - "Cherry" (J.J. Cale Cover)

This guy has some talent!!


G-Man

Big Thief - "Shark Smile"

There is something about the way the stars align this time of the year that brings fantastic new music to my ears. Can't really give you a concrete answer as to where I this one came from recently, just stumbled ass backwards into it. It's from a few years back, and I have no idea how it got passed me. Excited to see what else these guys have



Doug

Matthew Good - "Us Remains Impossible"


Dano

Bruce Springsteen - "Mrs. McGrath"


Jonny HP

Three Dog Night - "Shambala"


Mike D

The Killers - "Caution"


J.B.

Filter - "Hey Man, Nice Shot"

Sometimes you just want to breathe smoke. This is my go to for a little shred. Anyone else piece together the 'I may hate my dad' overtones in Richard Patrick's lyrics? It's a theme I won't get into, but next time you listen to Filter, keep it in mind. You'll see. Happy Freaky Friday

The Dodo & The Thylacine


 


Rob

State Of Shock - "Money Honey"


Mr. T

Little Feat - "Dixie Chicken"


G-Man

The Apples In Stereo - "Dance Floor"

There's a song out there. Super Lo-Fi, kind of alternative sounding, male vocals. The chorus is basically just "Dance Floor, Dance Floor". It's not this song, but I stumbled across it during my quest for that other elusive tune. This one is fantastic though....almost better than the one i'm searching for


Doug

Arkells - "Quitting You"


Dano

Red Tail Ring - "Bowling Green"




Jonny HP

James Taylor - "Fire & Rain"



Mike D

Alvvays - "Archie, Marry Me"

Imagine yourself as the kid of a pretty successful singer/songwriter...okay, now imagine on top of that, your aunts and uncles were part of this massive group that saw pretty big success in the Canadian music scene. Of course, you'd have some ridiculously, musically inclined tendencies. Enter Molly Rankin, daughter of one of the many members of the Rankin Family (East Coast music Canadiana Legends). She's got some great vocals, and writing skilss. If you're into East Coast indie or not, this and many other songs will satisfy. Happy Friday!

Bright White Eternal


 


Rob

Beck - "Where It's At"


Mr. T

Len - "Cryptik Souls Crew"


G-Man

Black Box Recorder - "The Facts of Life"

The decade from 2000-2009 gets overlooked all the time when it comes to music. One of these days i'm going to roll up my sleeves and dust off all the tunes to make some sort of cohesive Top 100 list. The best part of an exercise like that is re-discovering absolute GEMS like this one. That particular decade has hundreds of them


Doug

The Watchmen - "Incarnate"


Dano

The Decemberists - "Calamity Song"


Jonny HP

Billy Joel - "We Didn't Start The Fire"

This song has been on repeat in my head since Tuesday, so it has to be my SOTDF


Mike D

We The Kings - "Spin"




J.B.

Silverchair - "Straight Lines"

Remember this 'comeback' tune from 2007? No? Yeah, I don't think you're alone. Aside from the rather pirate like appearance of front man Daniel Johns in the video. It was a huge switch from the quintessential sound we all grew up with in the mid/late 90's. It's definitely good. But, nevertheless, this definitely has a coming of age progression to it and in fact this track pays homage to the multitude of struggles Johns had to deal with over the years. Seriously, there's a lot. I thought the biggest was his bust up to Natalie Imbruglia but i'm definitely wrong. Take a listen and enjoy
