For all the times that this truly moving song’s been covered, this is my favourite take on it.
#songoftheday: Tegan and Sara – Living Room
I’ve really never heard a Tegan and Sara song that I didn’t like.
#songoftheday: Gin Blossoms – Mrs. Rita
The best part about not listening to much music in the early 90s, is that there are so many great 90s songs out there that are brand new to me.
#songoftheday: Sophie B. Hawkins – Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover
90s pop songs may be criticized for a lot of things, but subtlety won’t ever be one of them.
That said, we had a ton of fun doing a karaoke version of this song in high school.
#songoftheday: Bush – X-Girlfriend
Sometimes simple and straightforward just works.
#songoftheday: Third Eye Blind – 10 Days Late
Unexpected pregnancy’s been the inspiration for plenty of great songs over the years, and this alt-rock ode to surprise babies is one of my favourites.
#songoftheday: Vanilla Ice – Ninja Rap
“Lyrics fill in the gaps”
The little interview at the end of the video just might be my favourite part.
#songoftheday: Sum 41 – Heart Attack
Some music for a punk rock Canada Day.
#songoftheday: Weezer – The Angel and the One
Weezer have a habit of closing their albums with some pretty great songs, and this closing track from their Red Album is one of my favourites.
#songoftheday: Daft Punk – Horizon
I feel like this instrumental track from Daft Punk, is a perfect example of how well they managed to mix traditional recording techniques and instruments, with a progressive electronic sound on their latest album. It’s not easy to sound retro, modern, and original all at the same time.
It was definitely worth waiting the extra month to import the special edition of the album from Japan.
