The Book; The Movie

 

Rob

Mos Def - "Body Rock" feat. Tash & Q-Tip

Mr. T

Sam Fender - "Getting Started"

G-Man

Jellyfish - "That Is Why"

The long list of great 90's songs that i'm discovering today continues!! Jellyfish seem to be one of those bands that were too early, or maybe too late. Were a little too left of centre of what people were heavily consuming at the time and didn't have a smash hit big enough to pull them through. However, thankfully their songs still live on and we can enjoy them again and again!

Jonny HP

Tears For Fears - "Everybody Wants To Rule The World"

Mike D

DES3ETT & Serena Ryder - "Killing The Pain"

J.B.

Oliver Tree - "Cowboy's Don't Cry"

New persona for Oliver Tree this time around. To me, this dude has a perfect formula with his tracks and also a fine tuned online presence.

Nochebuena

 Happy Christmas Eve everyone!! Hope you can take some time today and enjoy some relaxing moments with great friends, great cheer and good music! We here at Song Of The Day are all about that last one! Rob, what do you have for us!

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

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!

Mike Donner, Dasher, Dancer

Alessia Cara - "Make It To Christmas"

J.Bethlehem

Set Sail, Spiral

 

Rob

Mos Def - "Hip Hop"

Mr. T

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - "Rebels"

G-Man

Gwar - "Beauteous Rot"

One of my favourite heavy metal albums is Gwar's Violence Has Arrived from 2001. I mean look at that wicked album cover for starters. Gwar get a lot of flack for being kind of a tongue in cheek band, and yes they did start as a group of drunken art school mischief makers. This album though is a rebirth of technicalities and brutalities. Sonic metal sounds. With, of course, some of Oderus Urungus' trademark wit thrown in for good measure.

Bon Iver - "Holocene"

Step Through Grey

 

Rob

Broadway - "Gods and Men"

Mr. T

The Emotions - "The Best Of My Love"

G-Man

Stone Poneys - "Different Drum"

The evolution of music has always interested me. I started sifting through major and minor hits from the 60's to kind of get a grip on Pop and Rock's roots and DAMN there are some gems I forgot about! Take the Stone Poneys for example, timeless music with brilliant yet simple lyrics. And how gorgeous is Linda Ronstadt here?

The Four Seasons - "Beggin'"

And this one is just one of the absolute best from the 60's. Feels like it was way ahead of it's time. One of those songs that makes you time travel, sit back with a drink and turn off the rest of the world

Doug

Mos Def - "Sunshine"

Dano

Tears For Fears - "Shout"

Jonny HP

Mike D

Disturbed - "Shout 2000"

J.B.

Barnes & Barnes - "Fish Heads"

Alright now, before you ask me, "JB, what the literal fuck?". I thought to myself, this song is kind of timeless. With the world being weird , awkward and pretty crazy right now, what better way to sort of celebrate and make the times a little lighter. Also, fun fact, none other than Bill Paxton directed this 1980 smash. He even appears in the video. Enjoy the soup.

A Rush Past the Ears; A Lifetime In Memory

Rob

Mos Def - "Ms. Fat Booty"

Mr. T

Stray Cats - "Rock This Town"

G-Man

Funeral For A Friend - "Streetcar"

I May have picked this one before. Who gives a care though? I'm always transported back to late 2005, early 2006 when I hear this. A time of great liberation for me. Musical discovery. Everynight I would dive head first into the web and come out with pockets full of new tracks. Bottles filled with feelings from those days would be difficult to keep on the shelves.
