The robotic uprising hasn’t happened, but my computer’s dead, so we’ll see how well I can keep up these updates.

#songoftheday: David Bowie – Soul Love
I feel like the saxophone solo’s due for a comeback in rock music.
#songoftheday: Eddie Vedder – Hard Sun
When I saw Into the Wild, my experience with Eddie Vedder’s music was pretty limited at best. I feel like the fact that the film’s soundtrack doubled as his first solo album, would have blown my mind if I was as big of a fan then as I am now.
#songoftheday: Sloan – I Can Feel It
Sloan’s second album, Twice Removed is full of great songs, but this sweet acoustic number’s always been a standout for me.
#songoftheday: Jimmy Cliff – Many Rivers to Cross
For all the times that this truly moving song’s been covered, this is my favourite take on it.
#songoftheday: The Replacements – Skyway
Pleased to Meet Me has got to be one of the best impulse buys that I ever made at “the big HMV”.
#songoftheday: Bee Gees – This is Where I Came In
I’ve received more than a few confused looks over the years, anytime I’ve said that my favourite Bee Gees song came out in 2001.
#songoftheday: Neil Young – Heart of Gold
As impressive as Neil Young’s songwriting chops are, I just can’t get over how well he can manage playing the guitar and harmonica at the same time.
#songoftheday: Cat Stevens – Father and Son
Sometimes you associate a song with a particularly emotional time or moment in your life, and anytime you hear it played, you’re right back in that moment. Happy or sad, those feelings can hit you pretty hard, and seem like they’re coming out nowhere.
This is one of the few songs that’s actually made me tear up on it’s own merits.
#songoftheday: Banks – Are You That Somebody? (Aalyiah Cover)
Hands down, the best acoustic guitar version of a 90s R&B song that I’ve ever heard.
