G-Man Frightened Rabbit - "My Backwards Walk"
I was a bit mixed up and confused earlier this week. I'm back now. Not wearing my hat on my feet nor my shoes on my head. However, on this warm Summer night, I bring with me this song, which is great for sitting in my garden throne, watching the beacons of the moon appearing one by one
Doug The Verve Pipe - "The Freshman"
Dano Rush - "La Villa Strangiato"
PS it's Alex Lifeson's birthday today
Queens Of The Stone Age - "No One Knows"
And Songs For The Deaf came out 18 years ago today
Jonny HP TBD Mike D Travis Scott - "The Plan"
J.B. Blitzen Trapper - "Furr"
So I try and find tracks that capture a feeling or a moment or a memory. A little sappy but i'm cool with it. Nothing's better than having a song that helps me reflect on camping trips. Rather than your classics which might send you to that 'special' place this is one of my favourite latest tracks, hell it's even full of imagery and nature sounds. If you're really jonesing for some outdoor reflection without getting out there, go watch some Hinterland Who's Who! As for me, i'll be back in few days..
Yeah Valentine's Day just passed and love surrounded everyone for a day, but for some it's a day where all the happy couples shove their matrimony right in our face. We here at Song of the Day Fridays are bringing some ant-venom to your Valentine's hangover. Break Up songs and F U Songs! Rob Three Days Grace - "Human Race"
Mr. T REO Speedwagon - "Time For Me To Fly"
G-Man Damien Rice - "Rootless Tree"
Seems like I went a bit of a different direction than Rob and Mr. T. You might be surprised to see a mellow song slinger like Damien Rice on a list like this and I too was a bit surprised when this song came on when I bought his second album 9. But it's great and sometimes you just need to scream it at someone. NSFW
Eamon - "Fuck It (Don't Want You Back)"
A classic F U track. Maybe one the first self-made internet musicians. This one held the Guinness Record for most expletive deleteds in a #1 hit. Might still hold that honour.
Doug Toby Keith - "Big Blue Note"
Barenaked Ladies - "The Flag"
Dano Fever Ray - "Keep The Streets Empty For Me"
Fever Ray - "When I Grow Up"
Jonny HP Tool - "Swamp Song"
Honourable Mentions
The Greg Kihn Band - "The Break Up Song"
Huey Lewis & The News - "If This Is It"
Against Me! - "We're Breaking Up"
Roxette - "It Must Have Been Love"
Lily Allen - "Fuck You Very Much"
Alanis Morrisette - "You Oughta Know"
Amy Winehouse - "Back To Black"
Ben Folds Five - "Song For The Dumped"
G-Man Laura Jane Grace - "Random Hearts" (Tom Gabel)
Track one on her first solo album Heart Burns. Perfect feel for a track one. Knew the album was going to be something good from the early moments. Against Me's lead singer and main songwriter FYI.
Doug MSTRKRFT - "Bounce" feat. N.O.R.E & ISIS
I tried to think what songs I have listened to this week and this was the only one. I don't mean I have been listening to it constantly, I mean I have only listened to one song this week. Song of the week is tough.
