Dolly Parton - "Two Doors Down"

G-Man

Fontaines DC - "I Love You"

I Love hearing and discovering good songs that slipped by me over the years. This one was recently shown to me and definitely has that early 2000's or even late 90's brooding vibe. That's why I was absolutely shocked and pleasantly surprised to hear that this song was released in February 2022!!! It's great hope that such vibrant sounds and passionate music is still out there today.

Coolio - "C U When You Get There" feat. 40 Thevz

Coolio grinded his way to the top. He was just a regular guy with a dream. Worked as a volunteer fire fighter and a security guard until he finally made it as a rapper. This jam definitely hits a bit different week.

Otis Redding - "Down In The Valley"

G-Man

Daft Punk - "Give Life Back To Music"

Originality. Talent. Timelessness. 3 Reasons why I love Daft Punk. They never compromised. Never fell off. And when they decided they were done. They were done. Good show.

The Weeknd - "Save Your Tears" feat. Ariana Grande

This pick is based on the fact that my lady and I are about to see The Weeknd in Toronto!

The Breeders - "Cannonball"

I never knew the background behind The Breeders, but recently heard this eclectic 90's grunge track. Kim Deal, the lead singer took on the band as a side project after seeing huge success with The Pixies.

The Dee Gees - "Night Fever"

Tom Waits - "Bad As Me"

This is from his last album, released in 2011. Not sure if it's intended to be his final album, but damn, what a way to go out if it was. I've always had Tom Waits on my bucket list of acts to see live. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like that will ever happen now, but i'm thankful I got on board a long time ago with this one of a kind artist. You either get it or you don't.

The Tragically Hip - "Fiddler's Green"

Hayden - "Blurry Nights"

I need to be a better fan of Hayden's. One of my biggest inspirations when it came to guitar playing and songwriting. He's doing a tour this Fall and one of his stops is close to mine...tickets sold out too fast for me to snatch one up. We'll see...

Queen - "Hammer To Fall"

The Clash - "London Calling"

Personally I never had a problem with the Queen. I think it's a sad day for a fairly iconic figure. No matter what it will be a tumultuous change, and change is often a good thing.

Hawksley Workman - "Safe & Sound"

When people talk about music I listen. Recently had a conversation with a few of my friends who happen to be big Hawksley Workman fans. He was quite active during the pandemic with various releases and virtual concerts. So, as I normally do with artists i'm not fully versed in, I asked what some of their favourite songs were by Mr. Workman. "Safe & Sound" was one of the answers that was shared amongst the members in the conversation.

Robert Church & The Holy Community - "1988"

A band that does the West Coast dream pop vibe very well. Easy vibes to cruise to your local course or for sipping a mai thai at your upper scale tennis court. Happy Friday!
