Might be a "ho hum" choice, but still two epic music icons flushing this one out is pretty awesome

Caution Horses

 

Mr. Tidings, he brings

Run DMC - "Christmas In Hollis"

G-Man

Dr. Dre - "Fuck You"

I'll do a Christmas song next week for sure! I heard this track for the first time recently and damn what a smooth beat. Nothing wrong with a dirty song once in a while anyway

Doug

Rush - "A Passage To Bangkok"

Dano

Charlotte Day Wilson - "Work"

Jonny HP

The Pine Box Boys - "Will You Remember Me?"

Mike D

Massive Attack - "Teardrop"

J.B.

Joey Purp - "Elastic"

Vulpine

 Mr. T

The Grateful Dead - "Shakedown Street"

G-Man

Spiritualized - "Ladies & Gentlemen We're Floating In Space"

A song from 1997. I know i've heard the band name before and I think they've been recommended to me once or twice in the past. I know i've even seen this song name written a few times before. I only finally got around to let this song wash over me this past week...music is great

Doug

Lawrence - "I'm Confident That I'm Insecure"

Dano

Flume & Chet Faker - "Drop The Game"

Jonny HP

James Leg - "Drinking Too Much"

Where All The Rivers Run Dry

 

Mr. T

Buju Banton - "Untold Stories"

Glory Hallelujah-Man

The Pogues - "Fairytale Of New York"

Bittersweet pick right here. It's officially December so I can allow myself to get into the festive mood with some Xmas music, but sad news yesterday as legendary Pogues frontman Shane McGowan passes away at 65. Shocked he was only 65. Shocked he lived that long. RIP. Thanks for the beautiful art

Doug

Cake - "Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps"

Bonjour from Paris!!

Man...story to tell with this song

Corvus Capensis

 

Mr. T

Derek & The Dominos - "Keep On Growing"

G-Man

Against Me! - "Tonight We're Gonna Give It 35%"

Against Me! is one of those bands that I can enjoy almost everything by. Pick and record they release, front and back, every song. This is one of their earliest tunes, a b-side off a single from 2002. One of the most honest and heart wrenching songs in their catalog. And thats a competitive category

Doug

Said The Whale - "Camilo (The Magician)"

Dano

Hermano Guiterrez - "Esperanza"

Jonny HP

My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult - "After The Flesh"

Mike D

La+ch - ":p"

J.B.

Eyedress - "My Simple Jeep"

Phosphorescence

Mr. T

Elvis Costello - "I Can't Stand Up For Falling Down"

G-Man

CKY - "Close Yet Far"

A few weeks ago I picked a CKY track after kind of discovering how cool they were. Well here's another one from Camp Kill Yourself, just because i'm not done with them yet

Doug

The Regrettes - "Monday"

Dano

Battle Tapes - "Belgrade"

Jonny HP

Korn - "Clown"

Mike D

TBD

J.B.

Radiohead - "No Surprises"

Cardboard Bull

Mr. T

Sammy Hagar & The Wabos - "I Love This Bar"

G-Man

Teaze - "Heartless World"

One of the best forgotten Canadian metal classics ever, maybe even one of the best forgotten metal songs in general. Just perfect execution here all the way from 1979, and as the years go by, the sentiment gets more and more true

Doug

Rob Base and DJ EZ Rock - "It Takes Two"

Dano

Metric - "Gold Guns Girls"

Jonny HP

The Airborne Toxic Event - "Happiness Is Overrated"

Mike D

We The Kings - "Check Yes, Juliet"

J.B.

Snuff - "All You Need"

Alveolar Consonant

 

Mr. T

Poison - "I Won't Forget You"

G-Man

Nick Drake - "From The Morning"

After quite an eventful Rocktober I need to mellow out and unwind. Nick Drake is always great for that. One of my favourite songs by him is the final track on his final album.

Doug

Buffalo Springfield - "For What It's Worth"

Dano

Blink 182 - "Dance With Me"

Blink 182 - "Fell In Love"

Two in a row 'cuz they're shorties

Dropkick  Murphys - "The Boys Are Back"

Mike D

Blondie - "Tonight"

J.B.

Limblifter - "Screwed It Up"

thane of Cowdar

 Halloween is this Tuesday!! Though it seems all but a few of our Song Of The Day members have forgotten that....hey, maybe their picks just really meant alot to them this week. Let's see what we got. Mr. T? You're up!

Mr. T

Blink 182 - "What's My Age Again?"

Ghoul-Man

Blink 182 - "One More Time"

Great new song from Blink 182 right here. Honest and powerful. Seems like they really sat down and hashed things out. It's been a great year for new music from older rock bands. Metallica, Smashing Pumpkins, Baroness. Green Day's new song sounds pretty good! Even the Rolling Stones have a new album! Now we just need some younger bands to take note and join the party. Let's have a new rock revolution!

Misftis - "Dig Up Her Bones"

And in the spirit of Halloween!!!

Doug

The Eurythmics - "Here Comes The Rain Again"

Dano

I Mother Earth - "Like A Girl"

Jonny HP

Bob Dylan - "Most Of The Time"

Mike D

Billie Eilish - "Bad Guy"

I actually liked Brightburn

Jet Black

Rob Zombie - "Superbeast"

Since it's essentially the Halloween show...

Late Nightmare

 

Mr. T

Carla Thomas - "B-A-B-Y"

G-Man

Gwar - "Torture"

This past weekend was the 23rd annual Jonny and G birthday bash. Not much needs to be said about except Gwar kills everything. That basically sums up about most of my life.

Doug

Wilco - "Levee"

Dano

Tenacious D - "Kickapoo"

Jonny HP

Beach Boys - "Good Vibrations"

Mike D

Charlie XCX - "Speed Drive"

J.B.

Bedford - "Too Many Zooz"

Gotta check this out...just watch yer ears out the gate!!

Scalenohedron

 

Mr. T

Isaac Delgado - "Que Pasa Loco?"

G-Man

CKY - "96 Quite Bitter Beings"

First time I heard of these guys was when I saw Gwar and Cradle Of Filth. CKY were supposed to open for them, but didn't get across the border or something. Didn't give them a second thought until a few days ago when this one came up in conversation about great guitar riffs! I should have checked them out earlier! Camp Kill Yourself!

Doug

Tom Petty - "Square One"

Dano

C'Mon - "Too Bad For The Tin Man"

Jonny HP

Cracker - "Happy Birthday To Me"

Note from the rest of us: Happy Birthday y'old dog's cock!!!

Mike D

Blame It On Whitman - "Some1 Else"

J.B.

Onyx - "Slam"

Positivism

Mr. T

The Verve Pipe - "The Freshman"

G-Man

The Distillers - "Drain The Blood"

Happy Rocktober y'all! I love that every now and then Punk Music rears it's vicious head and lurks back into the spotlight. Providing us listeners with a plethora of hard hitting songs by bands dripping with angst and attitude. The Distillers really gave the early 2000's resurgence a refreshing voice to get behind!

Doug

Me First & The Gimme Gimmes - "I Will Always Love You"

Dano

A-Ha - "Take On Me" feat. El Estepario Siberiano

Great song, but waaayyyy better with these drums

Jonny HP

TBD

Mike D

Of Monsters & Men - "Wars"

J.B.

Blind Melon - "Change"

Variant Ally

Mr. T

Maren Morris - "My Church"

G-Man

Black Flag - "Police Story"

It might not be polished and at times sounds like an ungodly mess, but if you're curious about getting into classic punk rock, I mean right at the roots, you should think about starting with Black Flag Damaged. 'Police Story' isn't the album's shining moment, but there's something about the venom behind Henry Rollins spitting out "They hate us; We hate them", a movement was born that day.

Doug

Venbee - "Messy In Heaven"

Dano

Jerry Cantrell - "My Song"

Jonny HP

Slipknot - "Psychosocial"

Mike D

Tenacious D - "Master Exploder"

J.B.

Lord Huron - "Ghost On The Shore"

Mike D

Beartooth Hardy - "The Better Me"

J.B.

TBD

Clementine Sky

 

Mr. T

Van Morrison - "Why Must I Always Explain?"

G-Man

The Kooks - "Sway"

An unfortunate band name almost let this song be lost to obscurity for me. But it came on randomly while chilling in my backyard and it made me glad I ripped the album before giving it away.  Turns out they have some decent tunes, some cheesey ones too, but some good ones. The album now sits happily on my CD rack.

Doug

Flight Of The Conchords - "Too Many Dicks On The Dance Floor"

Dano

The Talking Heads - "Life During Wartime"

Jonny HP

From Ashes To New - "Bulletproof"

Mike D

Olivia Rodrigo - "Bad Idea Right?"

J.B.

Rusty - "Empty Cell"

Damage Layout

 Mr. T

Jimmy Buffett - "A Pirate Looks At 40"

In honour of his passing...

G-Man

The Jerry Cans - "Ukiuq"

I'm a big fan of Canadian music. Definitely was one of my favourite categories when I was getting into music in the 90's. Always felt it should have gotten the same attention as the British Invasion. I still try to include new Canadian acts when i'm in a musical searching mood. The other day I discovered this band from Iqaluit, Nunavut. So now I introduce them to you

Doug

Metric - "Black Sheep"

Dano

The Armed - "Patient Mind"

Jonny HP

Off With Their Heads - "Focus On Your Family"

Mike D

Jamie Fine - "There You Go"

Smash Mouth - "All Star"

and if nobody else is going to honour him...RIP Steve Harwell

J.B.

Khruangbin - "Maria Tambien"

Interesting how a trio with few lyrics can absolutely cram shows and give off a vibe that once was the staple to every hotel bar on evenings during the 70's and 80's. The only thing i'm missing here are the half-off drinks and free peanuts!

Quiet Birds in Circled Flight

 

Mr. T

Van Morrison - "Saint Dominic's Preview|

G-Man

Baroness - "Shine"

I'm a simple man. I hear new Baroness. I play it loud.

Also dedicated to Lady Madonna's mother.

RIP

Metro Boomin - "Nonviolent Communication"

Tidal Waste

 

Mr. T

Alabama - "Mountain Music"

G-Man

Joe Purdy - "Wash Away (Reprise)"

I let the ol' iPod pick the song this week. Honestly, when in doubt, you can't go wrong with G-Man's iPod. Got me through some really trying times and lonely nights. Thanks old buddy

Doug

The Tragically Hip - "50 Mission Cap"

Dano

Dua Lipa - "Dance The Night"

Note from G-Man: "My Daughter loves this song"

Mr. T

The Dollyrots - "Night Owl"

G-Man

33 - "Rich Happy"

I've been searching for this song since 1997....I saw the video one Summer's day watching Much Music and it was featured in the Indie Spotlight. The chorus has been an earworm for me this whole time. 26 years i've been on my quest, was starting to think it was a dream. Finally, it appears the director of the video posts it to Youtube and one of my occasional, yearly google searches comes back with one positive result. Never give up kids.

Doug

The Eurythmics - "Here Comes The Rain Again"

G-Man

Metallica - "Inamorata"

This weekend i'll be heading to Montreal to see Metallica for the 6th and 7th time in my life time. They have never disappointed and I don't expect them to start now. It's going to be a crazy weekend! But i'm heading in there Pimp Tight Zebra Stark Fuck G-Man style! Enjoy a track off their latest album!

Robbie Robertson - "Shine Your Light"

Also can't ignore the fact that we lost a Canadian musical legend today. He was 80 years old, but Robbie Robertson was hugely respected and influential on many musicians from all walks of life and genres. RIP

Dano

Post Malone - "Chemical"

 Mr. T

Frankie Valli - "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You"

G-Man

Bruce Hornsby - "Walk In The Sun"

6AM. A cool early August morning. I set out on my daily commute. Windows down. The highway yawns, flanked by green and yellow farmlands. A hazy Sun bathes the low hanging clouds in grey and gold. The opening bars of this song parade through my car speakers. My eyes narrow and I give a rare slight smile. Some days it's just wonderful to be alive

Tom Waits - "Hell Broke Luce"
