Mr. T
T.Rex - "Thunderwing"
G-Man
Punch Brothers - "Julep"
I don't really know much about these guys, but I saw this video come up on my Youtube suggestions and felt like i've seen this album cover a bunch in my past. The song is an instant favourite and hopefully other songs by these guys will hold up as well
One of my favourite heavy metal albums is Gwar's Violence Has Arrived from 2001. I mean look at that wicked album cover for starters. Gwar get a lot of flack for being kind of a tongue in cheek band, and yes they did start as a group of drunken art school mischief makers. This album though is a rebirth of technicalities and brutalities. Sonic metal sounds. With, of course, some of Oderus Urungus' trademark wit thrown in for good measure.
Little Steven & The Disciples Of Soul - "Soul Power Twist"
G-Man
Chumbawamba - "Give The Anarchist A Cigarette"
Ever since "Tubthumping" i've been meaning to check out these guys' extensive catalog of songs. I knew they had to have other hidden gems, they were making music for 30 years afterall, before calling it a day back in 2012. "Amnesia" and "El Fusilado" are a couple of tracks to check out, but tonight's pick is the lead off track from their 1994 album Anarchy. "Give The Anarchist A Cigarette" a cool kind of folk-punky, sing-a-long song to get your Friday where you're going. Cheers!
Some day i'll dive into the fascinating, mysterious and ultimately tragic tale of Morphine. A band from the 90's lightyears ahead of their time, yet somehow came along 40 years too late as well. "Honey White" has an instantly recognizable hook, familiar yet unplaceable.

Coheed & Cambria - "The Willing Well III: Apollo II: The Telling Truth"
Mr. T
Mike Rocket - "Give The Girl A Kiss"
G-Man
Lightning Seeds - "Pure"
1990 was a simpler time. When it came to music, we weren't sure what we were doing. We were supposed to be out of the 80's and looking for something more modern and definitive, but hadn't predicted the grunge movement. Some great songs and artists got overlooked. Criminally so. The Lightning Seeds and "Pure" was one of these instances. Just simply, one of the best songs ever written

The Tragically Hip - "38 Years Old"
The Hip have a new album coming out!! Song Of The Day!
So the past little while my good buddy G-Man has been doing the alphabetical band names....so good! So Song of The Day part One today is the letter N! So many great groups. Where to start?
Oleander - "Why I'm Here"
Naturally tomorrow will be the letter "O"
Mr. T
Buddy Guy - "Best in Town"
G-Man
Sleaford Mods - "Tweet Tweet Tweet"
This one is a little atypical of my normal style of picks. Something about these guys is so solid. Great backbeats and music. Unique vocal style and just a fresh sound all around. Thanks Iggy.
This year i'll be 40....sigh. I am grown up. I'm a father. I have responsibilities...I know this. But sometimes, the words to this song still linger in the chambers of my memories...maybe just one more time on the merry go round? What do you say?

Dean Lewis - "Half A Man"
Dano
Cleopatrick - "Hometown"
Jonny HP
Skeeter Davis - "End Of The World"
Mike D
A Day To Remember - "Mind Reader"

Unwritten Law - "Harmonic"
I found this song when I needed it most. If you're going through something and need to get out of your own head, this is seriously the track for you. The ramp up and the consistent lyrics will take you to that good place.
