One of my best, and oldest friends is getting married today.
This one’s for him.
#songoftheday: Bif Naked – Moment of Weakness
I wonder if Taylor Swift is a big Bif Naked fan…
#songoftheday: The Beastie Boys – Super Disco Breakin’
As soon as I heard this track start out, I knew that I’d never regret making Hello Nasty one of my first CD purchases.
#songoftheday: Derek and the Dominos – I Am Yours
You really can’t fake a long distance relationship.
When conversation, and correspondence are all you have, there’s that level of trust, and sincerity that isn’t always as prominent under normal circumstances.
In this song, Eric Clapton gets a bit of lyrical help from a 12th-century Persian poet to get this feeling across.
#songoftheday: The Clash – Lover’s Rock
London Calling has got to be one of the most consistently solid double albums ever recorded.
#songoftheday: Cat Stevens – Two Fine People
I’m usually not a big fan of “Greatest Hits” albums. On one hand, they make for an accessible intro to any given band/artist. On the other, they can take a song out of the context of the original album, and really diminish it’s effect.
Cat Stevens’ first greatest hits album gets a pass because it brings something new to the table. Specifically, this great song.
#songoftheday: David Guetta & Alesso Feat. Tegan and Sara – Every Chance We Get We Run
In retrospect, the switch to a more pop-focused sound in this song, almost seems like a preview of Tegan and Sara’s Heartthrob album.
#songoftheday: The Offspring – Out on Patrol
The Offspring back when they were very much a straightforward punk rock act.
#songoftheday: Jet – Move On
Half the fun of listening to Jet’s debut album was picking up on all the not so subtle homages to other songs. A little Iggy Pop here, a little B.T.O. there, etc…
As far as this track goes, I’d say that it’s more their take on the country genre as a whole than any particular song.
#songoftheday: Motörhead – Ace of Spades
For some people, this songs’s about gambling. But as far as I’m concerned, it’ll always be about pulling off kickflip combos as Wolverine in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3.
