Lachrymose

 The Return of Rob!!

Rob

Rage Against The Machine - "People Of The Sun"

Mr. T

Gramps Morgan - "Runaway Bay"

G-Man

Metallica - "Fade To Black"

Metallica seems to back in the public's collective conscious again, which is great. But they never left mine since I discovered them in 1996. For every occasion an album. For every emotion a riff. For every joyous moment a song. For every tear and heartbreak a lament. "Fade To Black" was from their second album, but just like many of their tunes, literally timeless.

Doug

Boyce Avenue - "Fast Car" feat. Kina Grannis

Dano

M.I.A - "Borders"

Jonny HP

Days Of The New - "Enemy"

Hobo Johnson - "Typical Story"

Because I'm due for 2

Mike D

Kloud - "Disconnect"

J.B.

Primitive Radio Gods - "Standing Outside A Broken Phonebooth With Money In My Hand"

Califnoria

 It's been a quick minute since we've been around these waters yes? Life is like that sometimes! THe boys are back with a new slew of songs for y'all! Kick us off Rob!

Rob

Rage Against The Machine - "Down Rodeo"

G-Man, Dano and Myself recently got talking about groups we would like to see with things opening back up. I must admit, this group wasn't my top pick yet they are SO on my bucket list! Missed a chance due to COVID yet it's one group I can't wait to see!

Mr. T

Joe Walsh - "Midnight Moodies"

G-Man

Lungfish - "Friend To Friend In The End Time"

I was saving this one in my back pocket until the blog was back up and running. Music is so great. So vast and unrelenting. I love 90's music, especially alt-rock. Especially that obscure stuff. It's always amazing to me how much great music each decade has to continuously offer. All the 90's music has been released, but I can still be amazed by it. Lungfish were from Baltimore and never really elevated beyond a cult status. Though with tracks like this, it's tough to imagine how.

Doug

Bon Jovi - "Born To Be My Baby"

Dano

Royal Blood - "Mad Visions"

Jonny HP

Metallica - "Master Of Puppets"

*LOST PICK*

Mike D

Children Of Nova - "The Complexity Of Light"

Sorry I had fallen asleep

J.B.

Biz Markie - "Just A Friend"

RIP to a legend of the Hip Hop community. From beatboxing to mix master, the Diabolical did it all and definitely helped make the scene main stream.

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

A Fit Subject For Pity

 Yes it is All' Hallow's Eve....Eve. So the lads down at Song Of The Day Friday decided to pick some of their favourite spooky, scary Halloween inspired tunes! Trust me, we're having skeleTONS of fun! Alright, sorry. Rob's first up

Robbin' For Apples

Rage Against The Machine - "The Ghost Of Tom Joad"

Sinister T

Alice Cooper - "Feed My Frankenstein"

Goblin Man

AFI - "Fall Children"

It makes sense for a band who's biggest inspirations were The Misfits and The Cramps to have some quality Halloween themed tunes. I could have picked any song of their All Hallow's EP, including a cover of the Misfits' "Halloween", but "Fall Children" is such a cool tune and I am one! So here ya go

John Carpenter - "Halloween Theme"

'Tis the season to watch some scary, horror flicks as well, and is there any better place to start than 1978's Halloween? I kinda thought the Youtube video was just including John Carpenter's name in there because he directed the film, but to my surprise also composed most of the music for it!

Count Dougula

Oingo Boingo - "Dead Man's Party"

Dan-O-Lantern

Rob Zombie - "Dragula"

Jonny Halloween Party

TBD

Mike Deceased

The Rocky Horror Picture Show - "Over At The Frankenstein Place"

Meatloaf - "Bat Out Of Hell"

Just Buried

Alice Cooper - "Feed My Frankenstein"

It's simple...it's totally a Halloween Song

Rage Of The Sabbath

Rob

Rage Against The Machine - "People Of The Sun"

Mr. T

Ed Robinson - "Knockin' On Heaven's Door"

G-Man

Black Sabbath - "Black Sabbath"

They started out as Earth doing mostly blues covers around England. It turned out another band had been using that name, so they had to come up with another. Guitarist Tony Iommi had a terrifying experience one night, seeing a dark ghostly figure staring at him from the foot of his bed. He wrote a song about it and called it "Black Sabbath". The band liked it so much that they used it for their name. It also signaled a change to a heavier style of music for the band. This album turned 50 yesterday. Released Feb 13th 1970 and with it ferried in the world of Heavy Metal.
