Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

 

You all good out there? Another St. Patrick's Day is in the books and this one might have had a different feel from the last few as COVID restrictions are finally beginning to ease. Some of your favourite watering holes and juke joints may have been rejuvinated with the sounds of merry men and women once again. Let's see how the Song Of The Day boys celebrated...

Rob

TBD

Mr. T

The Irish Rovers - "Black Velvet Band"

G-Man

High Contrast - "Racing Green"

Maybe not a song that typically comes to mind when thinking about St Paddy's Day music, but it's one of the best songs i've been introduced to recently and hey, it's got Green in it's title!

Doug

Bing Crosby - "McNamara's Band"

Dano

The Town Pants - "New South Wales"

Jonny HP

Cutting Crew - "I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight"

Catchy as fuck. Good luck not singing along

Mike D

Lights - "In My Head" feat. Josh Dun

J.B.

Faithless - "Woozy"

Faithless got their start back in 1994 and have been pumping out jams that have catered more to the Euro Dance scene. Albeit, they're worth a listen to and a deeper dive into their catalog is bound to leave you with a few new favourites

Panthalassa

 Rob

TBD

Mr. T

Black Uhuru - "Sponji Reggae"

G-Man

Alice In Chains - "Rooster"

Saw this video again the other day. Hadn't seen it probably since I was a teenager. Just hit me different this time around. Words, images, actions, thoughts, sounds. Are all hitting different this time around.

Doug

Wu-Tang Clan - "Da Mystery Of Chessboxin'"

Dano

Scissor Sisters - "I Can't Decide"

Jonny HP

Foals - "2am"

Mike D

TBD

J.B.

Necro - "Head Split"

Earthenware Mace

 Rob

TBD

Mr. T

Christina Aguilera - "Come On Over"

G-Man

The Hives - "A.K.A I-D-I-O-T"

I didn't even know this album existed until recently. Guess I never dove too deep into The Hives, but man.... i'm telling ya. This song has whatever it is you need to get there. Love the youthful energy, the raw feel and unpolished punk awesomeness. Enjoy!

Doug

Bush - "Machinehead"

Funny thing about this pick is I got it mixed up with an Econoline Crush video. Figured it out though

Dano

Lorde - "Bravado"

Jonny HP

Coheed & Cambria - "The Liar's Club"

Slaves - "The Hunter"

Mike D

Alessia Cara & The Warning - "Enter Sandman"

J.B

US3 - "Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)"

Cryoseism

Rob 

Better Than Ezra - "In The Blood"

Mr. T

Marc Ribler - "This Is How The Song Goes"

G-Man

Queens Of The Stone Age - "In The Fade"

You may not know his name but i'm sure you've heard Mark Lanegan's music. Lead singer of The Screaming Trees, founding member of Queens Of The Stone Age, a series of albums with Isobel Campbell of Belle & Sebastien, and of course, a prolific solo career. He passed away this week at the young age of 57. If you're into some dark, but well written music, give his catalog a listen. RIP Mark

Doug

Sam Hunt - "Breaking Up Was Easy In The 90's"

Dano

Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan - "Revolver"

These were the hardest picks without going with 12 of his tracks. The evil and the pretty in equal parts. That was Mark Lanegan

Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan - "Honey Child What Can I Do"

Jonny HP

TBD

Mike D

Muse - "Stockholm Syndrome"

As a tribute to one of the first songs I heard from them back in the Guitar Hero 3 Days

J.B.

Shakey Graves - "Late July"

Dead Immortal

 Rob

TBD

Mr. T

Reuben Wilson - "Inner City Blues"

G-Man

Fountains Of Wayne - "Troubled Times"

These days The Fountains Of Wayne are sadly mainly known for a novelty song at best in "Stacy's Mom". Pretty much the only time someone brings that song up these days is to tell you the long hanging fruit story of how it was initially written as "Stacy's Grandma". Take me back to 1999 though, with the release of Utopia Pkwy. There amongst some forgotten 90's Indie revelry is "Troubled Times" one of the best, most underappreciated tunes from the decade. Whimsical and melancholy, all the while possessing some of the most endearing chord progressions and melodies of all modern music. You may have to listen to it a few times, but with any luck, this will become one of your new "go to" tracks. Happy Friday!

Doug

Nickelback - "How You Remind Me" (DJ Depa Remix)

Dano

Santigold - "Disperate Youth"

Jonny HP

TBD

Mike D

Hole - "Celebrity Skin"

J.B.

Aphex Twin - "Alberto Balsalm"

Static For A Thousand Years

 

Rob

Led Zeppelin - "When The Levee Breaks"

Mr. T

The Small Faces - "Itchycoo Park"

G-Man

The Pimps - "Rocket Science"

Dark. Stares. Down. Upon. Two. Different. Coloured. Fantasies.

Doug

Marianas Trench - "Stutter"

Dano

AronChupa & Little Sis Nora - "Woodchuck Song"

Jonny HP

Harvey Danger - "Flagpole Sitta"

Mike D

Cobra Starship - "Snakes On A Plane"

J.B.

Wyclef Jean - "Yele"

Probably the least heard track off of Wyclef's follow up solo album to the Fugee hype. This was sensed to prove Wyclef's talent as a solo artist and rival all of the buzz around fellow Fugee Lauryn Hill's class. Either way, always appreciated this jam even though Haitian has some French mix, I definitely don't understand it.

Special Guest Pick!

Sweet Amber

Metallica - "King Nothing"

I lIkE dIs SoNg! I lIsTeN 2 iT wItH dAdA! aNd PlAy AiR dUms!

City of Mirth

 

Rob

Lynyrd Skynyrd - "Simple Man"

Mr. T

Van Morrison - "Astral Weeks"

G-Man

Fugazi - "Styrofoam"

The majority of us here at Song Of The Day reside in the Ottawa area. With the recent and on-going events taking their toll on our hearts and minds, the lyrics to this song came to me and have stuck with me this entire week....nothing really else to say

There are no more races to be run
There are no numbers left to be won
Everybody's down
We pulled each other down
There never was a truth to be found
We are all bigots so full of hatred
We release our poisons
There are no more cultures left to slide
There are no more people to be tried
We're in our minds
Five billion pieces so defined
Read it in a book, it was underlined
We are all bigots so full of hatred
We release our poisons like styrofoam

Doug

Flogging Molly - "Black Friday Rule"

Dano

Dua Lipa & Elton John - "Cold Heart" (PNAU Remix)

I Don't care. It's too smooth.

Jonny HP

Type O Negative - "Everything Dies"

Mike D

Jackie Hayes - "Headache"

I've had a headache for over a week, this song doesn't help

J.B.

Hether - "Sex Wax"

It's the dead of Winter and all through my house i'm playing surf jams to bring in the Summer Vibes!

Special Guest Pick!
