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: 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.
#songoftheday: Ben Folds Five – Brick
I’m still waiting on the Piano to make a big comeback in rock music.
#songoftheday: The Beatles – In My Life
A big congratulations to my baby sister who just graduated high school.
#songoftheday: Tegan and Sara – Now I’m All Messed Up
Before this album came out, the only Tegan and Sara song I knew was “Walking With A Ghost”. A little over 6 months after picking this album up, I was watching them perform the majority of it live in Montreal.
Needless to say, it was one of the best impulse buys that I’ve ever made.
#songoftheday: Calvin Harris Feat. Florence Welch – Sweet Nothing
For some reason, the line in this song’s always sounded like “sweet muffins” to me.
#songoftheday: Arcade Fire – Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)
While it doesn’t quite have the same impact outside of it’s position as the climax of “The Suburbs”, it’s still one of my favourite Arcade Fire tracks on it’s own.
Taken in the context of the album though, this song is something else.
