Broadway - "Don't Jump The Shark Before You Save The Whale"

Mr. T

Sandy Nelson - "Let There Be Drums"

I'm going to dedicate this pick to Rob

G-Man

Something Corporate - "Konstantine" 

Perhaps one of the best and most unknown songs from the past 20 years. Something Corporate were one of those bands gaining steam along other emo/punk groups like Jimmy Eat World (who get named dropped in this song) ,Taking Back Sunday and The Used. Though unlike those other 3 bands, Something Corporate never really had a breakthrough track. This song was once described to me as the "Stairway To Heaven" of our generation. Maybe if the stars shone a little luckier on it, other people would agree with that

A Tribe Called Quest - "Award Tour"

If you were born in the 80's or maybe the 90s more than likely your original Tribe repertoire may have only consisted of "Vibrant Thing" and a few other select tracks from the 2000s. Let's just say you need to dig on back to some original tracks for the really good stuff like these tunes. RIP Phife Dawg

A Tribe Called Quest - "Oh My God"

Rob

Finger Eleven - "First Time"

Mr. T

Panski - "In The Air Tonight"

G-Man

Dogs Die in Hot Cars - "I Love You 'Cause I Have To"

Don't ask and I won't tell. This was a quirky, one-off kind of song from my footloose and fancy free days from the mid 2000s. Woke up this morning and it was in my head, for some reason. Enjoy!

NOFX - "Franco Un-American"

Mr. T

Joe Walsh - "I.L.B.Ts"

The SteelDrivers - "Where Rainbows Never Die"

This is about as Country I get. Recently stumbled upon this track. With grey in my beard and temples, the subject matter landed a surprise left on my jaw. Left a mark.

Jeremy Fisher - "High School"

Originally hailing from "Steel Town". This Hamilton born and raised Canadian performer has had a long and diverse career since 1999. He's been involved with collaborations and features with countless other heavy Canadian music icons (The Odds, Hawksley Workman, Sarah Slean). He now calls the Ottawa area home and has drastically switched gears from the rock and roll scene. Literally, he rolled with his way via bike across North America for his debut album tour to reduce his carbon footprint. He now performs Kids Material that is really good. Check it out and of course check out his earlier material like this awesome track. He always paints an awesome story.

Missing St. Augustine

 

One of last week's write-ups gave the boys here at Song Of The Day Fridays an idea for a theme. Great songs that remind them of parties from their younger days. As always they are free to interperet that at their leisure and also as always Rob get's us under way...

Rob

Snoop Dogg - "Gin & Juice"

Mr. T

Billy Idol - "Mony, Mony"

Here's the story: Drunk at a high school party. "Mony, Mony" comes on and we all start singing the part, when my buddy Ryan starts screaming "Fuck a pony! Fuck a pony!" So drunk he goofed the lyrics and it stuck forever!

G-Man

Old Dirty Bastard - "Got Your Money"

They say High School is the best time of your life. Well i'd agree with that statement if I could stretch my OAC year over the whole experience. My graduating class (Class of 2000!) was a unique one, where that we all got along despite the different varying cliques. The last few months leading up to Graduation saw a new party every weekend. This song will always remind me of one of the cottage parties, probably early June. At the time it felt like I had 50 friends, there was no negativity.  I think we all knew the significance of being the class of 2000 without dwelling on it too much. Just trying to hang on to a few wonderful, happy moments
