While I still vastly prefer Radiohead’s first 3 albums to the rest of their catalogue, a few of their newer songs (ie: released in the last 12 years) are starting to grow on me.

#songoftheday: The Black Keys – Next Girl
Here’s to learning from past experiences.
#songoftheday: Billy Joel – Just the Way You Are
For all those romantic souls out there.
#songoftheday: The Cure – Just Like Heaven
Last summer, I was treated to no less than 3 live performances of this song. Dinosaur Jr., and AFI did admirable jobs, but seeing The Cure perform it was really something else.
#songoftheday: Dr. Hook – Sharing the Night Together
Now I’m no mathematician, but if this song came on at a wedding, I’m pretty sure around 76% of the old couples slow dancing to it would end up getting lucky that night.
#songoftheday: Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Maps
Songs like this are the reason why I got so into Rock Band on the PS3. Outside of iTunes and the radio, I can’t think of anything else that’s introduced me to as many new bands and artists.
#songoftheday: Passion Pit – Let Your Love Grow Tall
Over the years, I just keep coming back to this album. Very few acts before or since have managed to strike that perfect balance between electronic engineering, and the playing of physical instruments.
Throw in some solid harmonies and you’ve got music that while intricately engineered, still comes off sounding sincere and genuine.
#songoftheday: The Offspring – We Are One
I was skateboarding down the waterfront when this song came on the iPod. And just like that, I felt more like a high school student than when I was in high school.
(I didn’t really attempt to skateboard until I was 25)
#songoftheday: The Radiants – Voice Your Choice
Today’s election day in Ontario, so get out there and vote.
Take some time to see what each local candidate’s done, what they’re planning to do, and what the heads of their parties have said and done. Pick the best choice, and make your opinion count. Don’t just blindly vote for some party because it’s an easy way to go.
If you don’t exercise your right to take part in the decision making process, you lose the right to complain about the outcome. So head to your local polling station, and put that number 2 pencil to use.
#songoftheday: Manfred Mann Chapter Three – One Way Glass
I’m a firm believer that modern rock could use a few more horn sections.
