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: Panic! At The Disco – Northern Downpour
The final single released by Panic! At The Disco before Ryan Ross and Jon Walker split off to form The Young Veins.
#songoftheday: Matchbox 20 – 3AM
The perfect song for when you’re coming home from a great night, but still feel like having a bit more fun.
#songoftheday: Braid – No Coast
Here’s the latest from Braid’s first new album in 16 years.
#songoftheday: T. Rex – Cosmic Dancer
Another wedding last night, and another fantastic time on the dance floor.
I really wish friends and family getting together, setting up a dance floor, and playing great music was something that just happened on a regular basis.
#songoftheday: U2 – Sunday Bloody Sunday
Larry Mullen Jr.’s drumming on this song gets me every time. It’s like a punk rock march to war.
#songoftheday: Arcade Fire – Here Comes The Night Time
Arcade Fire might not be the first band that pops to mind at the mention of dance music, but a good chunk of Reflektor has it’s own unique dance vibe.
I wouldn’t necessarily put this on a club mix, but with the right people, it’d be a perfect dance tune for an open field on a warm, rainy night.
#songoftheday: Led Zeppelin – What Is and What Should Never Be
This song has one of my all time favourite outros kicking in around the 3:30 mark.
#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: The Allman Brothers Band – Blue Sky
In a lot of metal songs, the guitarist going off on some perpetual solo tangent seems to me like they’re missing the point. It’s technically impressive, but can lose that sense of melody and feeling from the song.
In this song Duane Allman and Dickey Betts definitely let their guitars loose, but it almost seems like the sincere expression of a pure joy that they can’t keep inside. As if they just can’t stop gushing about some new love, but instead of words, they’re speaking in guitar solos.
I like to think that everyone in this band had a big dumb grin on their face during the whole performance of Blue Sky.
