Missing St. Augustine

 

One of last week's write-ups gave the boys here at Song Of The Day Fridays an idea for a theme. Great songs that remind them of parties from their younger days. As always they are free to interperet that at their leisure and also as always Rob get's us under way...

Rob

Snoop Dogg - "Gin & Juice"

Mr. T

Billy Idol - "Mony, Mony"

Here's the story: Drunk at a high school party. "Mony, Mony" comes on and we all start singing the part, when my buddy Ryan starts screaming "Fuck a pony! Fuck a pony!" So drunk he goofed the lyrics and it stuck forever!

G-Man

Old Dirty Bastard - "Got Your Money"

They say High School is the best time of your life. Well i'd agree with that statement if I could stretch my OAC year over the whole experience. My graduating class (Class of 2000!) was a unique one, where that we all got along despite the different varying cliques. The last few months leading up to Graduation saw a new party every weekend. This song will always remind me of one of the cottage parties, probably early June. At the time it felt like I had 50 friends, there was no negativity.  I think we all knew the significance of being the class of 2000 without dwelling on it too much. Just trying to hang on to a few wonderful, happy moments

Doug

Spirit Of The West - "Home For A Rest"

Dano

Tool - "Invincible"

Starts out Mastodon, turns into Counterparts Rush and ends in total Tool. Flawless. This is the smartest and most thought out album i have ever fucking heard

Jonny HP

Notorious B.I.G - "Juicy"

Mike D

Kid Cudi - "Day n' Nite"

J.B.

TBD

Death Day Cake

We're back up to six members! Please welcome newest Song Of The Day Friday contributor J.B.!!
Always eager to hear what new songs and vibes different people bring to the list! Seems like he has a lot to say as well! Welcome J.B.!!

Rob

Papa Roach - "Blood Brothers"

Mr. T

Reagan James - "Better Than This"

G-Man

T-Rex - "20th Century Boy"

I've always been interested in what bands and artists inspire other bands and artists. T-Rex is a name that has popped up quite a few times, and they've even been name dropped in some famous songs like The Who's "You Better You Bet" and Mott The Hoople's "All The Young Dudes". Never really understood the hype, I mean "Bang a Gong" was alright I guess. Then I heard the entirety of Electric Warrior. And I stopped wondering.

Doug

Spirit Of The West - "Not Just A Train"

Dano

Spirit Of The West - "The Crawl"

Jonny HP

TBD

Mike D

Halsey - "Castle"

J.B.

Shakey Graves - "Doe, Jane"

Definitely and definitively a one man band. Shakey Graves gives that sort of Blue Grass feel some new age muster to a sound that keeps me searching for another gem of his. There's a lot of story telling behind his lyrics and I like this jam the most for it. Happy Friday

Yellow Instincts

Rob

Foo Fighters - "The Pretender"

Mr. T

Tom Petty - "Girl On LSD"

G-Man

Metallica - "The Unforgiven 3"

I'm excited to see their second concert with the symphony (S&M2). I hear this one got a great treatmeant

Doug

Spirit Of The West - "Home For A Rest"

In honour of John Mann RIP

Note from G-Man: "Here, here"

Dano

First Aid Kit - "Wolf"

Jonny HP

Mike D

Sea Wolf - "You're A Wolf"

Monsters Fear The Welcome & Warm

Rob

Chevelle - "The Red"

Mr. T

Otis Taylor - "Ten Million Slaves"

G-Man

The Fall Of Troy - "F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X"

I fookin' love when the lead singer also shreds on guitar in a band. Such is the case with Fall Of Troy. I love the part that starts around the 3 minute mark, especially the bass pulls. One of my all time faves.

Doug

Spirit Of The West - "Home For A Rest"

Dano

Green Lung - "Lady Lucifer"

Jonny HP

Gwar - "Immortal Corruptor"

Note from G-Man: Holy Fuck Yes It All

Songs Marching Forward Into...

Rob

Foo Fighters - "Breakout"

Mr. T

Hank Williams Jr. - "Family Tradition"

G-Man

Atmosphere - "The Waitress"

Was chatting with Dano about this one earlier today. Great track, which also features one of my favourite artists Tom Waits. You can faintly hear him doing some beat boxing over the track. I love how unassuming that is for a great, well known artist. When hes featured on a song, he doesn't need to be front and centre, just as long as it adds something cool to the track

The Beach Boys - "Kokomo"

You don't need to ask. You already know. Get there fast and take it slow.

Doug

Spirit Of The West - "Home For A Rest"

AC/DC - "You Shook Me All Night Long"

Dano

The Knife - "We Share Our Mother's Health"

Jonny HP

Nine Inch Nails - "Starfuckers, INC."

Mr. T

Los Fabulosos Cadillacs - "Mal Bicho"

The Irish Rovers - "Black Velvet Band"

G-Man

R.E.M - "Time After Time (annElise)"

This is an ancient track off their second album Reckoning. It reminds me of how great a band R.E.M really was.

The Real McKenzies - "Chip"

And just because it's St. Patrick's Day....
