 Hello all and happy December! With Christmas right around the corner some of the Song of the Day Friday members have gotten into the Xmas spirit! Let's see what we have this week! Mr. T, kick us off please!

Mr. T

Dr. John - "Peace Brother, Peace"

Gingerbread-Man

Sabaton - "Christmas Truce"

My first introduction to this Swedish heavy metal group is an epic Christmas tune! Finally someone does the legendary Christmas Truces story from the first World War justice through song. It's an amazing story and one that makes me stop and think. Especially during this time of year. Be good to each other everyone. Always.

Doug

Rob

Eve 6 - "Nightmare"

Mr. T

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - "Walls"

G-Man

Gojira - "Flying Whales"

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!

Doug

Taylor Swift - "New Year's Day"

Notorious B.I.G - "Party & Bullshit"

Dano

TBD

Dishwalla - "Counting Blue Cars"

Semisonic - "Closing Time"

Twenty-One Pilots - "Stressed Out"

J.B.

Teddybears STHLM - "Yours To Keep"

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!

Christiansands

 

Rob

Sparta - "La Cerca"

Mr. T

Bobby Vinton - "My Melody Of Love"

G-Man

Broken Social Scene - "Anthems For A Seventeen Year Old Girl"

Broken Social Scene were essentially a musical collective comprised of the who's who on the Canadian Indie Music circuits of the late 90's to mid 2000's. Some former members who would go on to seperate stardom include Leslie Feist, Emily Haines of Metric and Torquil Campbell of Stars. Even though they've rotated anywhere between 9-15 members at once this song manages to have a stripped down, lo-fi scene that i've really found myself hunting down lately. Enjoy

Doug

Paul Simon - "Late In The Evening"

Dano

Sara Watkins - "You & Me"

Jonny HP

Queen - "Radio Ga Ga"

Mike D

Twenty One Pilots - "Message Man"

J.B.

Nada Surf - "Popular"

Nine albums...NINE ALBUMS?!?! Can you believe these guys are still together and touring? I loved this jam back in 1996 and remember waiting a good 4 or 5 hours watching Much Music to hit "record" on my VCR. But, I haven't heard a thing or at least that memorable since then. Happy Friday and keep the good vibes going.

Special Guest Pick!

Old Yurty Bastard

The Cure - "Never Enough"

Relive The Right Side Wrong

Rob

Days Of The New - "The Down Town"

Mr. T

David Rawlings - "Cumberland Gap"

Note from G-Man: "Old Crow?"

G-Man

Honest Bob & The Factory To Dealer Incentives - "Hey"

One of our newer members picks a lot of songs from Rock Band and the like. I remember hearing many cool songs from the early days of Guitar Hero and what not. For some reason those days and memories were swirling around my head this morning. This is one of those tracks I heard and loved while fumbling miserably through the game

Doug

Billy Idol - "Dancing With Myself"

Dano

Jonny Toman & Brendan Hendry - "Yew Piney Mountain"

It's a traditional one but their arrangement is unreal. And Jonny absolutely owns the banjo

Jonny HP

Pearl Jam - "Rats"

Mike D

Twenty One Pilots - "Level Of Concern"

Golgothan Holiday

Rob

Less Than Jake - "The Science Of Selling Yourself Short"

Mr. T

George Michael - "Freedom '90"

G-Man

Exciter - "Heavy Metal Maniac"

Had a bit too much excitement this week...

Doug

Daft Punk - "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger"

Dano

Page & Plant - "Most High"

Jonny HP

The Beta Band - "Dry The Rain"

Mike D

Twenty One Pilots - "Car Radio"

Lycanthropy at First Note's Sound

Rob

Dave Matthews Band - "Samurai Cop (Oh Joy Begin)"

Mr. T

Glenn Frey - "You Belong To The City"

G-Man

Snow - "Plumb Song"

Mind On The Moon was kind of a comeback album for Toronto reggae master Snow. Though he has had several albums since his debut in 1993, this was the first album with singles that broke through to the charts. In my opinion it was ahead of it's time. This song is tough to describe. The reaction people have to it is fair in their own way. Take a listen and decide for yourself and remember that this was released in the year 2000

Doug

Gorillaz - "Humility"

I didn't know what to pick this week and I found what I think is the new Gorillaz so it got the call

Dano

Twenty One Pilots - "Lane Boy"

Jonny HP

Trapt - "Headstrong"
