Incredibly bizarre, yet obscenely catchy.
I first came by this song while watching through Friday Night Lights, and thought it was the sweetest thing ever.

#songoftheday: Dispatch – Flying Horses
Thanks to some very severe rain on a bike ride, my phone’s officially dead.
On the upside, I got my old slider phone working again, and found a reminder to download this song from two years ago.
#songoftheday: Alanis Morissette – Head Over Feet
Without a doubt, one of my all time favourite love songs.
#songoftheday: Right Said Fred – I’m Too Sexy
Back from my sister’s wedding, and this was a definite highlight.
Going forward, I’ll probably always associate this song with busting a move alongside two elderly Italian ladies.
#songoftheday: K’s Choice – Not an Addict
I don’t own a ton of Belgian music, but even if I did, this song would still be my favourite.
The steady buildup with the bass and drums draws you in, and the perfectly imperfect vocals keep you hooked. Really compelling stuff.
I’m a bit bummed that this song came out 3 years after I was actually in Belgium. Then again, I doubt that I would’ve really appreciated an alt-rock song about drug addiction at age 11…
#songoftheday: Me First and the Gimme Gimmes – My Heart Will Go On (Celine Dion Cover)
In the world of Punk Rock Covers, no band comes even remotely close to Me First and the Gimme Gimmes.
They’ve really outdone themselves on this new album. It perfectly combines the high quality song picks of their first album, with the more complicated arrangements from their later releases. When it’s performed by these guys, turning Celine Dion’s well known ballad into an Irish drinking song just makes sense.
#songoftheday: Ash – Kung Fu
I can’t remember all of Jackie Chan’s stunts from Rumble in the Bronx, but I do remember this song playing over the credits. Hearing it in the movie Angus, pretty much cemented it’s status as one of my favourite songs.
#songoftheday: WAX – Hush
Here’s one of Spike Jonze’s earliest directorial efforts.
#songoftheday: The Offspring – Mission From God
As far as I’m concerned, this outtake from Ignition made tracking down a copy of Punk O Rama 10 totally worthwhile.
#songoftheday: Pearl Jam – Brother
Most of my favourite bands have a single song, or album that I think of as the definitive point where I became a lifelong fan. As far as Pearl Jam’s concerned, this is the one that “got me into” Pearl Jam.
I’d heard the odd song of theirs over the years, and always enjoyed what I’d come across, but this was the track that got me to listen through “Ten” for the first time. The release of “Backspacer” shortly after that sealed the deal.
