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

Mr. T

Crowbar - "Oh What A Feeling"

G-Man

Big Black - "Kerosene"

I don't know how I can call myself a lover of music and have only heard of these guys now. With so many years behind me that I could've been enjoying this. Jesus.

Big Black - "Bad Penny"

Doug

Barenaked Ladies - "What A Good Boy"

January 27, 2017

Rob

Mr. T

Stevie Wonder - "Sir Duke"

G-Man

The Lackloves - "The Radio's Mine"

Don't know much about these guys. Possibly Canadian? No longer around? This song if from the 90's I think. Maybe 2002. Potentially 2007. Anyone's guess. I like songs about radio. Stereos. Boomboxes. Delve into my past.

Doug

K. Flay - "Blood In The Cut"

Dano

Justin Cross - "Drink The Water"

December 16, 2016

It's still theme month December!! This week Mr. T thought it would be a neat idea to discuss songs that we were convinced were done by one artist only to discover who they were really sung by later on! Let's get it Rob!

Rob

Bon Jovi - "Always"
Thought it was: Bryan Adams

Mr. T

The Animals - "House Of The Rising Sun"
Thought it was: The Rolling Stones

XMAS BONUS!

The Pointer Sisters - "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town"
Thought it was: Richard Simmons 

Note from G-Man: Fantastic!

G-Man

Ian Thomas - "Painted Ladies"
Thought it was: America

Really it does sound like it, the vocals are almost identical and I might have been getting it confused with "Ventura Highway". Kinda sounds like it

XMAS BONUS!

The Royal Guardsmen - "Snoopy's Christmas"
Thought it was: The Beatles

Seriously...doesn't the Baron kinda sound like Sgt. Pepper?

Doug

TBD

Dano

Equalizer - "Sweet Mary"
Thought it was: Bradley Nowell (Sublime)

December 2, 2016

Worst Song About Animals!

Mr. T

America - "A Horse With No Name"

G-Man

November 18, 2016

Rob

Mighty Mighty Bosstones - "Someday I Suppose"

Mr. T

TBD

G-Man

Sublime - "Garden Grove"

One thing I like about Sublime, when their lead singer Bradley Nowell passed away they called it quits. 3 albums. 5 years. That was Sublime. Respect. Track one off of their fantastic 1996 self-titled album was "Garden Grove". Goodage

Doug

Metallica, The Roots & Jimmy Fallon - "Enter Sandman"

Note from G-Man: Thanks Brother......Metallica day tomorrow!!

Dano

North Mississippi AllStars - "Mississippi Bollweevil"

November, 11 2016

Rob

Our Lady Peace - "Is It Safe"

Mr. T

TBD

G-Man

Leonard Cohen - "Nevermind"

There's alot going in the world these days. I had a bit of material to inspire today's pick. Donald Trump. Remembrance Day. But this, after all, is a music blog and I feel the passing of one of Canada's greats should get the nod. Not that it comes as much of a shock. Cohen himself recently mentioned that he felt his time was near and was ready, but it's still a career and catalog worthy of honouring. RIP.

Doug

Pet Shop Boys - "Always On My Mind / In My House"

Dano

NOFX - "The Idiots Are Taking Over"

November 4th, 2016

Rob

Blink 182 - "Dammit"

Mr. T

Michael Jackson - "Man In The Mirror"

This song has been bouncing around in my head for a few weeks. Ow. It's carrys an all around good message and the part I like most, the uplifting melody. Easy to remember and fun to listen to.

I still think G-man may have lost a bet.

G-Man

Nickelback - "If Everyone Cared"

No Mr. T and I didn't purposely both pick songs about changing the world. Sometimes the planets just line up that way. I don't subscribe to the blind hatred that Nickelback gets. It's toothless and misguided. I don't follow trends and I am not going to jump on that train. They have a wide selection of great songs. Exhibit A

Doug

Kings Of Leon - "Hands To Myself"

Dano

Royal Blood - "Figure It Out"

October 28, 2016

Halloween is this Monday, so here at SOTD Fridays we're showcasing some of our favourite spooky songs, Halloween themed or even favourite costumed bands! Let's kick 'er off!!

Robenstein

Dave Matthews Band - "Halloween"

Tracy Jordan - "Werewolf Bar Mitzah"

Mr. Trick or Treat

Blue Oyster Cult - "(Don't Fear) The Reaper"

The Cramps - "Surfin' Dead"

The Edgar Winter Group - "Frankenstein"

Ghost-Man

Misfits - "Scream!"

Though I prefer the demo version of this song, the official video is kick ass! Made before all the recent zombie-apocalypse jerk-off fest was everywhere too. This song was written for the Scream soundtrack but not used

Cradle Of Filth - "Her Ghost In The Fog"

One of the best modern metal songs out there. The song is more about avenging a murdered lover than about ghosts n' stuff, but still creepy video, creepy scary vibe. Saw these guys live on Devil's Night with Gwar back in 2007. Great show

Dougula

Will Smith - "Nightmare On My Street"

Eminem - "Monster" feat. Rhianna

Dano-Lantern

Rob Zombie - "Mars Needs Women"

Holy Grail - "Exciter"

October 21, 2016

Rob

Death Cab For Cutie - "Brothers On A Hotel Bed"

Mr. T

Bob Dylan - "Jokerman"

Note from G-Man: "Killer!"

G-Man

Metallica - "Hero Of The Day"

It's so hard to pick a favourite song from you favourite band, yeah? Metallica has many songs that have topped that chart for me over the years. "Hero Of The Day" is one that can always take me back to the first time I heard this album, my year of musical enlightenment. It will always hold a special place for me.

Doug

Norria. K - "Has To Be"

Dano

Ween - "Mister Richard Smoker"

Ween - "Bananas & Blows"
