There's a list i'm gonna do someday about Hip Hop/Rap songs that feature rock singers. This one has Tegan Quin from Tegan & Sara fame. It also has one of my favourite hip-hop lyrics ever: "The risk is not a slipped grip at the edge of the peak; The real danger is just to linger to base at the thing"

Wu-Tang x Led Zeppelin - "The Wu Tang Zeppelin (Mashup Album)"
This is a little different than a single song but it is what I stumbled onto this week! Enjoy!
Probably the least heard track off of Wyclef's follow up solo album to the Fugee hype. This was sensed to prove Wyclef's talent as a solo artist and rival all of the buzz around fellow Fugee Lauryn Hill's class. Either way, always appreciated this jam even though Haitian has some French mix, I definitely don't understand it.
Special Guest Pick!
Sweet Amber
Metallica - "King Nothing"
I lIkE dIs SoNg! I lIsTeN 2 iT wItH dAdA! aNd PlAy AiR dUms!
I know it's the dead of Winter. And I mean DEAD. But I had to go with this one after I heard it on my morning commute this morning. One of my favourite Summer time chill songs. After the darkness comes the light. Warm sun on your face. Cool drink in your hand. Soon, right?
No Doubt - "Simple Kind Of Life"
This was going to be my pick before I heard the Wilco one this morning, but still thought I should give this one it's moment. Totally forgot about this track until I saw the video last night. Nothing's tougher for a band than trying to follow up a smash album. For No Doubt 1996's Tragic Kingdom made them (and singer Gwen Stefani)overnight sensations. It took them 4 years to come out with their next album Return Of Saturn. I always enjoyed it and thought it didn't get enough respect. I think this song gets forgotten, but it's a well written, well crafted alt-rock song. One of No Doubt's best.
Note From Rob: "Talk about a rod-stiffener"

Headstones - "Heart Of Darkness"
Dano
The Secret Sisters - "Mississippi"
The Secret Sisters - "He's Fine"

Lana Del Rey - "Gods & Monsters"
Mike D
Loon Choir - "Full World"

Le Tigre - "Deceptacon"
Electronic Dance Punk anyone? Le Tigre was a late 90s mindchild by the leftwing sociopolitical Kathleen Hanna (See Bikini Kill). I've heard this song covered by some pretty awesome front ladies over the years and even a high school garage band which was honestly epic. If you haven't heard it, it'll definitely help your Friday morning!
Mr. T Tim Montana - "Hillbilly Rich"
Can't remember where I found this one, but it's something else
G-Man Sublime - "Boss DJ"
Sublime is both quintessentially 90's and timeless. They are unique, so much so that really no band sounded like them at the time and non since. Blending a plethora of genres and their demographics spanned multiple cultures. Everyone likes at least one Sublime song, and Sublime fans all have different favourites. "Boss DJ" has been in my head all day, it puts my baby to sleep too
Doug Nouela - "Black Hole Sun"
Dano Led Zeppelin - "Trampled Under Foot"
Jonny HP Limp Bizkit - "Rollin'"
Mike D Sturgill Simpson - "The Dead Don't Die"
J.B. Neil Young - "Down By The River"
Happy Friday. Hoping to pull off the longest good vibes Song Of The Day. As usual Neil Young's guitar work makes this entire song incredible and i'm betting it will reverberate with you all day long
