This track from Arcade Fire’s latest album Reflektor, seems to channel a bit of Bowie and Iggy Pop to give something a bit more danceable than their usual songs.

#songoftheday: The All-American Rejects – One More Sad Song
This track from The All-American Rejects’ debut studio album was always my go-to pick when given the power to pick the music in my best friend’s car. Countless high school memories of rolling down the car windows and belting out the chorus to this one.
#songoftheday: Ellie Goulding – You My Everything
I didn’t really take much notice of Ellie Goulding until I saw her perform live at Osheaga last summer. One of the many instances of acts with more electronic sounding records that really impressed me with live sets integrating traditional instruments.
For a taste of that live performance, here’s a track from the bonus disc of the deluxe version of her second album, Halcyon.
#songoftheday: Codeine Velvet Club – The Black Roses
When The Fratellis broke up from 2009-2012, their lead singer/guitarist joined up with Scottish singer Lou Hickey for a single album. This track wasn’t a single, but I always felt it was the standout on their only record.
#songoftheday: The Who – Naked Eye
One of the lesser played gems from “Who’s Next”-era Who. This is the version from the “Odds and Sods” b-side/rarities compilation they released in 1974.
#songoftheday: The Rolling Stones – Let It Loose
One of my favourite tracks from Exile on Main Street, and a perfect song to relax to.
#songoftheday: The Fratellis – Country Boys & City Girls
Because I seem to take forever to write up my “Influential Albums” posts, I’ve decided to integrate my #songoftheday initiative into the Soup’s Tunes blog.
The mandate’s pretty simple: one song, every day. I try to keep things as diverse/random as I can, while avoiding too many hit singles. I’m mostly trying to draw attention to the lesser played songs off of albums, or the singles that haven’t been heard in a while.
I’m planning on doing a few theme weeks too, but we’ll see how it goes.
First up is a track off the Fratellis’ first full length album release.
