Well after a 3 week vacation for the boys at Song Of The Day Friday we are back and ready to roll! Since we've missed some prime musical opportunities over the Holiday some of the lads are picking 3 songs this week! Rob, get us goin!
Rob Collective Soul - "Breathe"
Death Cab For Cutie - "Northern Lights"
Amos The Transparent - "Coming Home"
Mr. T Max Webster - "Diamonds Diamonds"
G-Man A Perfect Circle - "So Long And Thanks For All The Fish"
A new album from APC has fans and casual listeners divided. The title of this song is an allusion to the Hitch Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy, which is what initially got me intrigued
Filter - "Where Do We Go From Here"
A Mild hit in the early to mid 2000's but I love it. This is what Song Of The Day is all about. Business like this.
Wolfpack - Wish
Picked up these guys' LP Lycanthrope Punk while I was in New Zealand, though I don't think they are Kiwis. I couldn't find much info on these guys. This is from 1998 and it just kicks it.
Doug Whitney Houston - "I Wanna Dance With Somebody"
Dano Mandolin Orange - "Boots Of Spanish Leather"
The Tea Party - "Black River"
Lana Del Rey - "Hope Is A Dangerous Thing"
Jonny HP Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels - "Jenny Take A Ride (CC Rider)
Rob Smashing Pumpkins - "Silvery Sometimes (Ghosts)"
Mr. T K7 - "Hi De Ho
G-Man Snot - "Snot"
We should really do a theme week about band names and song names being the same thing. Snot was a hardcore-punk group that infused themes of reggae, ska, and metal. While ahead of their time, they were short lived as lead singer Lynn Strait was killed in a car accident in 1998.
Doug Duckwrth Shaboozey - "Start A Riot" Spider Man: Enter The Spiderverse soundtrack is as good as the movie! Both should be checked out
4 days away folks! It's Christmastime again and we here at Song Of The Day have decided to once again showcase some of our favourite Holiday tunes!! Rob.....get it on...
Rob-nosedReindeer Eve 6 - "Noel Noel"
Mr.Tanenbaum Run DMC - "Christmas In Hollis"
Giftwrapped-Man No Doubt - "Oi To The World" Not sure if i've picked this one for Xmas in the past or not. Ah, screw it. Nothing more fun than that infectious bass line and Gwen Stefani's vocals recanting a tale of race drive gang violence quashed by the magic of Christmas. It's originally a Vandals tune, but I dig this version's energy a little more.
Doug by the Chimney With Care Bing Crosby - "Silent Night"
G-Man The Grapes Of Wrath - "I Am Here"
It's those songs that you have the faintest memory of. Can't place the name or artist. Yet there it lives in a deep recess of your mind. Until one day you stumble upon it in your waking life and decades of emotion come flooding back all at once
