I let the ol' iPod pick the song this week. Honestly, when in doubt, you can't go wrong with G-Man's iPod. Got me through some really trying times and lonely nights. Thanks old buddy
Gotta love bands that start with G! Gotta love metal bands that start with G! I feel like Gojira have been on my radar for a while, but I only gave them an actual listen just recently. Really like what I've heard from them. Concise and melodic, yet brutal and at times unforgiving. "Flying Whales" was where I was recommended to start, so i'll pass it on to you! Happy New Year!

Well, thought i'd dig deep for some non-rager fueled vibes for your New Years Eve since the world is still a little bit on fire. Have a great one and we'll see you next year!
We took a week off for Christmas and now we're back with the New Years Edition of Song Of The Day Fridays!! Some of the guys are picking their favourite song from 2020, others are letting the dawn of a new year inspire their track, others are just giving 2020 a big ol' middle finger through song! There are no rules and that's how we like it! Rob's up first!!
Retrospective Rob
Jimmy Eat World - "Appreciation"
While everyone has their own thoughts and experiences through 2020, i'm gonna reflect on the positives. It's had it's ups and downs, but while looking back this has really been about searching within, while still facing so many new challenges. If you could rewind 2020 what would you do differently? My goals = Live and Learn! Happy New Years!

The Eagles - "Funky New Year"
G-Man's Rockin' New Years Eve
Enuff Z'Nuff - "New Thing"
One of the best songs I heard this year and no it's not a 2020 track. This one might be a surprise to some of you. Yes on the surface it doesn't immediately identify as a G-Man pick. The hair metal aesthetic of the band and even the band's name sounds like it should be printed in the bright oranges, pinks and yellows of early 90's cheese. Ordinarily, I probably wouldn't have given it a second listen, but with it being 2020 and all it's lockdown malaise...i actually found myself intrigued by this track. It's hair metaly but it isn't. It's New Agey but it isn't. It's glam but it isn't. What it is is catchy, different and uplifting. If it was released any other time but the early Nineties, we probably would have heard more from these guys

So since this year was such a dumpster fire in many ways, let's commemorate it with my selection. I could have gone a darker route with "Lift Your Head Up High" but hey, there were some good things. Right? Maybe? Happy New Years all and let's burn this fucker to the ground and start fresh!
