Samhain

Yes it is once again the Season of the Witch! So us Fall Children here at Song Of The Day Fridays are bringing you some spooky, creepy and downright haunting Halloween tracks! Enjoy the spirits this year friends and take these chilling tunes with you!

Rawwwwbbb

The Eagles - "Hotel California"

Not everyone's "Go To" Halloween song, but I always get this eerie feeling while listening to it! A rock classic and one HELL of a band!! Happy Halloween gang!!👻💀🎃

Monster T

The Connection - "(It's A) Monster Holiday"

Ghost Man

Metallica - "Of Wolf and Man"

October 28th 2021 was officially Metallica's 40th anniversary! So naturally i've got to give a tip of the hat to my long time lads! This is about as close as they got to a Halloween song, which is odd considering how big of a horror fan lead guitarist Kirk Hammett is. I guess they have covered quite a few Misfits songs. Anyway. I'm going with the S&M version of this song. I feel it got a great treatment with the Orchestra added in and can't go wrong with Jason Newsted on backing vocals.

REM - "Driver 8"

Mr. T

Skip Marley - "Life"

G-Man

Concrete Blonde - "Tomorrow, Wendy"

In my ongoing crusade to discover lesser known great tracks from so called "One Hit Wonders" I present to you "Tomorrow, Wendy" by Concrete Blonde. You know "Joey" by this band, but this track crossed my path the other night. Kind of twisted, kind of dark, kind of melancholy, all marvelous. I should write a book with all these songs i'm discovering...

Doug

Fleetwood Mac - "You Make Loving Fun"

Dano

Ghost - "Hunter's Moon"

Jonny HP

Gordon Lightfoot - "Sundown"

Rob

Fall Out Boy - "Thriller"

Mr. T

Bacon Brothers - "Hookers & Blow"

G-Man

Local H - "Fritz's Corner"

I love going back to 90's bands and digging through their back catalog for songs I may have missed. Thats how I discovered this track from Local H. A unique, bi-racial 2 piece grunge act from Zion, Illinois. Not sure if this was a single or not, but to me it sounds like a mix between Nirvana and the Offspring! Love it

Doug

Five For Fighting - "Superman"

Dano

Colm R McGuinness - "Wayfaring Stranger"

Jonny HP

The Fratellis - "Rock N Roll Will Break Your Heart"

Mike D

Dear Rouge - "Fake Fame"

J.B.

G Tom Mac - "Cry Little Sister"

Alright, alright. You hear this and you think "WTF?". But seriously this guy has epic range, plus he's produced and written a shit ton of hits from many bands that made it to the big time!

Triple U

Rob

Death Cab For Cutie - "Black Sun"

Mr. T

Santana - "Winning"

G-Man

Ween - "Tried & True"

I've been aware of Ween for a long time, but never truly gave their catalogue a fair deep dive. One thing that always impressed me from the songs I did hear, was how vastly different they all were from each other. I could queue up 10 Ween songs and, if you didn't know any better, you would say they were from 10 different artists. That is the case with their album Quebec, one of their more critically acclaim records. I'm excited to get into this, but here's a sample from the start of my Ween journey!

Doug

Weezer - "Enter Sandman"

Dano

Mastodon - "Pushing The Tides"

Jonny HP

TBD

Mike D

Mom Jeans - "Girl Scout Cookies"

J.B.

Wall Of Voodoo - "Mexican Radio"

It had to be done. It's Friday and to celebrate our good friend G-Man's birthday here is a classic. Just like you buddy

Today marks the first day of Truth and Reconciliation in Canada. It will be every September 30th from here on out. A day to reflect and learn about our Indigenous brothers and sisters and the struggles they've endured for generations. #everychildmatters

Rob

Death Cab For Cutie - "Monday Morning"

Mr. T

Little Steven and The Disciples Of Sound - "Until The Good Is Gone"

G-Man

Stone Sour - "Zzyzx Rd"

This song takes me right back to 2006. Right in the thick of it. Fantastic deep track from Corey Taylor's other band Stone Sour.

Link Wray - "Rumble"

In honour of Truth and Reconciliation Day, here is Link Wray with a hit from early in his career. It came out later that he was encouraged to downplay his Native American heritage in order to become successful. Rest easy Link

Doug

Tyler Shaw - "To The Man Who Let Her Go"

Dano

Primus - "Silly Putty"

Jonny HP

Don Henley - "Boys Of Summer"
