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!
He's often over looked save for a few tracks, but why wasn't Bruce Cockburn better known? Even in his native Canada you don't hear much, if any of his stuff in the day to day. Catchy tunes and clever writing, kind of like Canada's Paul Simon. "Wondering Where The Lions Are" should be a track one on a 20 track "Best Of" Cockburn's tunes
Doug
The Blue Stones - "Let It Ride"
Dano
I Mother Earth - "Used To Be Alright"
Jonny HP
Pearl Jam - "Yellow Ledbetter"
Mike D
TBD
J.B.
Snuff - "All You Need"
So here's a band I forgot about for a very long time. Snuff's been around since the mid 80's and aparently still putting out albums. I'd like to say that I was rad enough to have listened to them then, but i'm not that old or cool. Let's face it though, punk in general has changed or maybe even melded into what pop rock became in the early 2000s. I miss those old days and this definitely takes me back
G-Man Jars Of Clay - "Liquid"
Hey, look at that. I picked a Christian rock tune and didn't get engulfed by flames. "Flood" was the bigger hit off this album, but this one's got that cooler 90's alt-vibe
Doug Bruce Cockburn - "Lovers In A Dangerous Time"
Shine on you crazy diamond
Dano The Wailin' Jennys - "Bird Song"
Ruth Moody just kills me playing that banjo
Mr. T George Harrison - "Got My Mind Set On You" Note From G-Man: "My favourite video as a youngster"
G-Man I Mother Earth - "When Did You Get Back From Mars?"
Been on a mid-90's Canadian alt-rock kick lately. OLP, Moist, Treblecharger, The Hip, Odds, The Watchmen, Holly McNarland. It goes on. You can include I Mother Earth in there but many folks forget about the album after Scenery & Fish when Edwin left the group. They drafted a new singer Brian Byrne who had a unique voice. I respected that, they could've just hired an Edwin clone and probably picked up where they left off. This track is off the great Blue Green Orange.
Doug Weezer - "Take On Me"
Weezer - 'Sweet Dreams"
Dano The Floozies - "Stuntin'"
Jonny HP Hawksley Workman - "Winter Bird"
Special Guest Pick(s)! Riiiiiick Matisyahu - "King Without A Crown" (live from Stubb's)
