Dogs Die in Hot Cars - "I Love You 'Cause I Have To"
Don't ask and I won't tell. This was a quirky, one-off kind of song from my footloose and fancy free days from the mid 2000s. Woke up this morning and it was in my head, for some reason. Enjoy!

Since things are warming up. Sit back, relax and let the positive vibes of this track be sent your way. Ridiculously easy Friday tune for you.
This is about as Country I get. Recently stumbled upon this track. With grey in my beard and temples, the subject matter landed a surprise left on my jaw. Left a mark.

Jeremy Fisher - "High School"
Originally hailing from "Steel Town". This Hamilton born and raised Canadian performer has had a long and diverse career since 1999. He's been involved with collaborations and features with countless other heavy Canadian music icons (The Odds, Hawksley Workman, Sarah Slean). He now calls the Ottawa area home and has drastically switched gears from the rock and roll scene. Literally, he rolled with his way via bike across North America for his debut album tour to reduce his carbon footprint. He now performs Kids Material that is really good. Check it out and of course check out his earlier material like this awesome track. He always paints an awesome story.
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

Spirit Of The West - "Home For A Rest"

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
I couldn't decide on a track from Synchronicity. Such a solid album, although Regatta de Blanc was awesome too
Mr. T
Van Morrison - "Back On Top"
G-Man
Iggy Pop & Sum 41 - "Little Know It All"
I've only recently come around to Sum 41. Was kinda put off by their quasi-forced "punk-itude" back when they first came out in the early 2000s. However, i've always loved this track. From Iggy Pop's album Skull Ring. A Santana-esque mash-up, featuring a bunch of punk acts providing the music for Pop's legendary vocals. I need more songs like this that start at 10 and end at 10. All the way through

The Vandals - "Jackass"
The Vandals have steadily been a punk band and contributed to,not only the 90's & 2000s punk rock revival but have helped the entire scene since the 80's. More notably so with their albums prior to 2000.
Needless to say, they've put out a lot of great jams. They've seen a long line up of front and back band members, but haven't skipped and skimped when it comes to pumping out great tracks. Anyone heard of cowpunk? These guys have dabbled... This jam is one of the many great tunes that zaps me back to some good parties and feel good times. Happy Freaky Friday!
Nothing really major to talk about with this one. Just a wicked, badass, mofo-in' Canadian Scotch Punk song, that blasted through my car speakers this morning on the AM commute. Enjoy!

Big L - "Put It On"
Back in '99, Big L was shot 9 times and killed in his home neighbourhood in Harlem. Although he wasn't a junior to the scene, some say he would have been a significant contender to being more influential than Jay-Z (not my words). It's crazy to think what they'd both have done to the hip-hop world if he wasn't gunned down. Even crazier, his childhood friend was arrested for his murder, although not convicted. 17 years later, he'd meet the same fate as Big L.
One of the coolest movies with the best soundtracks to come out of the 90's was The Crow. Mixing up 80's goth culture and alternative 90's sounds made this one memorable. That combined with the haunting circumstances of the movie, makes any song off this Soundtrack permanently linked to an era in time. This Nine Inch Nails track is actually a cover of a Joy Division song

Souls Of Mischief - "93 'til Infinity"
Here's an old school track that requires your attention. The Souls of Mischief were probably not as familiar as other booming hip-hop artists of the early and mid 90s in itself. But definitely a few names of noteriety are synonymous with the likes of SoM (Del tha Funky Homosapien). This track is debatedly the largest single they put out. Without it, other follow on hip-hop 'groups' wouldn't get the touch to the public without the bolstering this track did to support the West coast hip-hop genre of the time. Enjoy you're Friday and if you're looking for more similar music try some illmatic (Nas) or The Pharcyde. I love the experimental days of Hip Hop.
And i'm not afraid of dying. Any time will do, I don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying? There's no reason for it - you've got to go sometime.
