Yesterday Blisters


 


Mr. T

Carl Carlton - "Everlasting Love"



G-Man

Bad Religion - "Punk Rock Song"

This is one of those songs that has been in my collection for years, but I don't know if i've sat and actually listen to it. Absorb it, until lately. Jesus, the lyrics are more meaningful now than ever...

Have you been to the desert? Have you walked with the dead?
There's a hundred thousand children being killed for their bread
And the figures don't lie, they speak of human disease
But we do what we want, and we think what we please
Have you lived the experience? Have you witnessed the plague?
People making babies sometimes just to escape
In this land of competition, the compassion is gone
Yeah, we ignore the needy, and we keep pushing on
Keep pushing on
This is just a punk rock song
Written for the people who can see something's wrong
Like ants in a colony, we do our share
But there's so many other fucking insects out there
And this is just a punk rock song
Have you visited the quagmire? Have you swam in the shit?
The party convention and the real politik
The face is always different, the rhetoric the same
But we swallow it all, and we'll see nothing change
Nothing has changed
This is just a punk rock song
Written for the people who can see something's wrong
Like workers in a factory, we do our share
But there's so many other fuckin' robots out there
And this is just a punk rock song
10 million dollars on a losing campaign
20 million starving and writhing in pain
Big strong people unwilling to give
Small in vision and perspective
One in five kids below the poverty line
One population running out of time
Running out of time
This is just a punk rock song
Written for the people who can see something's wrong
Like ants in a colony, we do our share
But there's so many other fucking insects out there
And this is just a punk rock song
The figures don't lie, they speak of human disease
But we do what we want and we think what we please
One in five kids below the poverty line
One population running out of time
This is just a punk rock song

Times Long Past


 


Merry Xmas and Happy Holidays from all of us at Song Of The Day Fridays! Thank you as always for checking us out and here's to a great New Year!


Mr. Fros-T

Albert King - "Santa Claus Wants Some Lovin'"



Gaudy Xmas Decoration-Man

Hawskley Workman - "The Coldest Night Of The Year"

As the whole Province prepares to baton down the hatches, my mind wanders to this old favourite track. Xmas can be a happy, festive time, but also a quiet, pensive time. An opportunity to reflect on your own. Let your mind travel, to past, present and years yet to come



Doug The Halls

Michael Buble - "It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas"



Dano Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

Bad Religion - "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing"

Always and Forever



Jonny Holiday Party

Bing Crosby - "I'll Be Home For Christmas"



Mike December

Jon Kull - "Auld Lang Syne"

From the best Christmas Movie, Krampus.


Alessia Cara - "Make It To Christmas"



Jingle Bells

Thumpasaurus - "You Are So Pretty" (Live At The Echo)

Despite it being a very Merry Christmas, i'm going with a band I just discovered. It's a band with music we need more from. It'll make you have a very very good Christmas. Check them out and feel the good vibes we all need!

Invincible Summer

 



Mr. T

Jennifer Warnes - "Somebody Somewhere"


G-Man

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

As pure an honest as Against Me!'s songs normally are, this one is about as bareboned honest it gets. A b-side to one of their earliest singles, the turmoil singer/songwriter Laura Jane Grace dealt with most of her life is bubbling under the surface of this one. Completely stunned me the first time I heard it. Just an absolute banger.



Doug

Whitney Houston & Clean Bandit - "How Will I Know"


Dano

Bad Religion - "You Are (The Government)"


Bad Religion - "Do What You Want"

Short songs get a partnet



Jonny HP

Korn - "Get Up" feat Skrillex



Mike D

Black Eyed Peas - "Meet Me Halfway"



J.B.

Ayano Tsuji - "Kaze ni Naru"

Rob

Charlie Hunter - "Creole feat. Mos Def"

I know it's not Christmas themed yet a laid back track i've been wrapping gifts to tonight!



Mr. Tinsle

Bruce Springsteen - "Merry Christmas, Baby"



G-Rinch Man

Trans Siberian Orchestra - "Christmas Canon Rock"

Did a song by these timeless legends last week and thought, might as well wrap up the holiday season the same way! Happy Xmas everyone!


Doug The Halls

Blink 182 - "I Won't Be Home For Christmas"



Dano Ho Ho

Bad Religion - "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing"

Every year. I must.



Jonny HP

TBD

The Merciful Rich


 


Rob

Dave Matthews Band - "Granny"



Mr. T

Neville Brothers - "Yellow Moon"



G-Man

Misfits - "Walk Among Us"

Walk Among Us was also the name of the first album released by the first incarnation of The Misfits. Though it wasn't the first album recorded, believe it or not, it wasn't easy for punk bands to easily record and release albums back in the late 70's early 80's. This song however comes from the second version of the famous punk band with Michale Graves on lead vocals. I like the choice for Graves to replace Danzig when the band reformed. Not a Danzig clone, Graves really brought his own flare to the band. This song is obviously a nod to the Misfits' earlier days


Doug

Patrick Lentz - "In My Head"


Dano

The Last Gang - "Noise Noise Noise"

Note from G-Man: "Is this really a Dano pick?"



Jonny HP

Bad Religion - "New Dark Ages"


Mike D

Glass Animals - "Heat Waves"



J.B.

Lo Down - "Mad Fright Night"

Something about listening to 90s NYC Hip Hop that really puts an exclamation point on how good it was, and still is. Hard to believe how far the sound has come. Happy Friday y'all!

The Other Side Of Same



 I'm sure most of you heard about a certain situation in a certain unnamed country not far from here. While there was no pre-planned organization on our part, some of the Song Of The Day members seem to be picking songs inspired by the aforementioned events...


Rob

Rage Against The Machine - "Year Of Tha Boomerang"



Mr. T

Soggy Bottom Boys - "I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow"


G-Man

Bad Religion - "Watch It Die"

Just makes you shake your head in permanent bewilderment. I got to thinking where are all the protest songs about this fool? And all the foolishness that get left in his wake? I'm sure Bad Religion or Pearl Jam are working on something. So in that vein, here's a fitting song that features both as Eddie Vedder sings the second verse here


Doug

James TW - "When You Love Someone"


Dano

Larkin Poe - "Blue Ridge Mountain"


Larkin Poe - "Easy Street"





Jonny HP

Slipknot - "All Hope Is Gone"


The Bravery - "Believe"


Mike D

The Record Company - "Off The Ground"




J.B.

Laurie Anderson - "O Superman"

I'm not going to get into too much, but wow.....found this gem at the suggestion of a friend. Original synth experimentation and way ahead of it's time

Xmas By The Amplifier Hum



4 days away folks! It's Christmastime again and we here at Song Of The Day have decided to once again showcase some of our favourite Holiday tunes!! Rob.....get it on...

Rob-nosed Reindeer

Eve 6 - "Noel Noel"



Mr. Tanenbaum

Run DMC - "Christmas In Hollis"



Giftwrapped-Man

No Doubt - "Oi To The World"

Not sure if i've picked this one for Xmas in the past or not. Ah, screw it. Nothing more fun than that infectious bass line and Gwen Stefani's vocals recanting a tale of race drive gang violence quashed by the magic of Christmas. It's originally a Vandals tune, but I dig this version's energy a little more.


Doug by the Chimney With Care

Bing Crosby - "Silent Night"



Little Dano Boy

Bad Religion - "What Child Is This"


Bad Religion - "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"




Bad Religion - "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing"
