Seeing a new Third Eye Blind album in HMV was a bit of a shock in 2009. The fact that I enjoyed it just as much as their older material, left me even more pleasantly surprised.

#songoftheday: Weezer – I’m Your Daddy
As a band, Weezer has had their share of cheesy moments, but this delightfully dorky take on one of their Raditude-era songs is my favourite. Best clarinet solo ever.
#songoftheday: WAX – Hush
Here’s one of Spike Jonze’s earliest directorial efforts.
#songoftheday: Kennedy – Karate
If Jamiroquai and Weird Al wrote a song, then had Daft Punk remix it, I’m pretty sure it would come out a lot like this.
#songoftheday: MØ – Glass
I honestly have no idea how her name’s pronounced, but I do enjoy the song.
#songoftheday: Sloan – Last Time In Love
“Movin’ on was something I mastered.
Is it fair to say, I got so good at it that I went to town?
Then I met you…”
#songoftheday: Red Hot Chili Peppers – By The Way
Being the early adopter of a game console is pretty great, but has it’s drawbacks. Namely, there usually aren’t a lot of games to play on the thing.
For the first few months after getting my GameCube, I played a ton of Crazy Taxi. This Red Hot Chili Peppers video came out around the same time, and perfectly captured the tone of the game. Specifically, incredibly reckless cab driving to high-energy music.
#songoftheday: Stone Temple Pilots – Sour Girl
Little known fact: this video’s the official non-canon prequel the the Buffy The Vampire Slayer musical episode.
#songoftheday: Foster the People – Coming of Age
If I were putting together a graduation video today, this new single from Foster the People would make the perfect soundtrack.
#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.
