Mr. T

Maren Morris - "My Church"

G-Man

Black Flag - "Police Story"

It might not be polished and at times sounds like an ungodly mess, but if you're curious about getting into classic punk rock, I mean right at the roots, you should think about starting with Black Flag Damaged. 'Police Story' isn't the album's shining moment, but there's something about the venom behind Henry Rollins spitting out "They hate us; We hate them", a movement was born that day.

Doug

Venbee - "Messy In Heaven"

Dano

Jerry Cantrell - "My Song"

Jonny HP

Slipknot - "Psychosocial"

Mike D

Tenacious D - "Master Exploder"

J.B.

Lord Huron - "Ghost On The Shore"

Auxillium

 

Mr. T

Patoranking - "Abule"

G-Man

Slipknot - "Adderall"

The new Slipknot album has potential. Can't wait to pick it up. This is the lead off track and it may not be the sound that you were expecting to hear. Gotta respect a band that does things their own way. Slipknot has always been like that

Doug

Raekwon - "Guillotine (Swords)"

Dano

King Buffalo - "Ecliptic"

King Buffalo - "Burning"

That instrumental needs another with it.

Jonny HP

Brand New - "Jesus"

Mike D

Flat Moon Theory - "See Me As I Am"

J.B.

TBD

The Big Groovy

It's a long weekend!! Hope it's filled with Sunshine, good drink and fantastic tunes! Here's 7 of our finest picks to get you started! Mr. T...you're up!

 Mr. T

U2 - "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"

G-Man

Jeff Beck & Johnny Depp - "A Song For Miss Hedy Lamarr"

Here's a bit of a switcheroo....ol' G-Man picking a new track! Jeff Beck is musical royalty being one of the creative forces behind The Yardbirds, which also fetured Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page. Johnny Depp, has been in the news quite a bit lately it seems, but not for his musical talent. Still can't decide if this song is brilliant or something else...

Doug

Robbie Doherty - "Pour The Milk"

Dano

Steph Cameron - "Sad-Eyed Lonesome Lady"

Jonny HP

Slipknot - "Eyeless"

Mike D

Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Black Summer"

J.B.

Bouncing Souls - "True Believers"

Normalize

 

Rob

Incubus - "Make Yourself"

Mr. T

Mt. Joy - "Astrovan"

G-Man

Slipknot - "Everything Ends"

Every now and then I need to blast a song that matches my ire and violent urges. These days it seems more the norm than not, and i'm noticing that other people seemingly are on the same wavelength. Someday, like everything else, this pandemic will end, and I will post a song with tranquil and serene vibes as we celebrate a return to normalcy. Today is not that day however. Slipknot. Iowa. Track 5. Engage

Doug

Cake - "Satan Is My Motor"

Dano

Larkin Poe - "Blunt"

Jonny HP

Owl City - "This Isn't The End"

Mike D

A Day To Remember - "Paranoia"

J.B.

The Worst - "Man"

This is one hell of an obscure band with only one notable track that I could find. Pretty grim tune, but it's catchy as hell

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

An Obscured View Of The Present

Rob

TBD

Mr. T

Elvin Bishop - "Fooled Around & Fell In Love"

G-Man

Slipknot - "All Out Life"

New Slipknot! Boooommmm

Doug

Arctic Monkeys - "Do I Wanna Know?"

Dano

Colter Wall - "Sleeping On The Blacktop"

Donovan - "Sunshine Super Man"

Rocktober Part 3: Icarus

Rob

Wide Mouth Mason - "My Old Self"

Mr. T

The Grateful Dead - "Truckin'"

G-Man

The Offspring - "Not The One"

Rocktober rages on. Thought about this album today and how goddamn good it is. It's a shame I don't own it. An easily fixable situation that shall reveal itself soon

Slipknot - "Dead Memories"

For now, this album is where Slipknot ends for me. I'm sure i'll come around and get into their new stuff. But their first for albums are absolutely perfect. Love them all. Just a definite reflection of a heavy metal lifespan.

Doug

The Tragically Hip - "Three Pistols"

Dano

Green Day - "Disappearing Boy"

Green Day - "Green Day"

Jonny HP

The Raconteurs - "Steady As She Goes"

Women and Children Last...

Rod Stewart - "Gasoline Alley"

Don Henley - "Boys Of Summer"

Note from G-Man: Rod, Rod & Don!!

Doug

DJ Shadow - "Nobody Speak" feat. Run The Jewels

I almost picked another Ed Sheeran song just to be a dick

Dano

Murderdolls - "Rock n Roll Is All I Got"

Jonny HP

Guns N Roses - "You Could Be Mine"

Epiphanies & Home Tome Anthems

Rob

Pearl Jam - "Yellow Ledbetter"

Mr. T

Glenn Frey - "The Heat Is On"

G-Man

The Philosopher Kings - "New Messiah"

I was thinking about these guys the other day and how incredible their second album was, Famous, Rich & Beautful. A cool album, filled with sex songs and confidence. Most of these guys have gone on to the production and engineering side of the music business. We still have smokey songs like "New Messiah" to remember them by though

Doug

Lana del Rey - "Get Free"

Dano

Big Sugar - "Let It Ride"

Jonny HP

Slipknot - "The Heretic Anthem"
