#songoftheday: Audioslave – Show Me How to Live
Supergroups are never really built to last, but I always enjoyed Audioslave for the time that they were around. The combination of Rage Against the Machine’s funk-metal sound with Chris Cornell’s top-tier alt-rock voice always seemed like a winner to me.
Bonus points for the Vantage Point footage in this music video too.
#songoftheday: Alanis Morissette – Head Over Feet
Without a doubt, one of my all time favourite love songs.
#songoftheday: Chromeo feat. Solange – Lost on the Way Home
While Business Casual was a pretty solid album, everything I’ve heard from this latest Chromeo release sounds like it could be their best record yet.
#songoftheday: P. Diddy feat. Black Rob and Mark Curry – Bad Boy For Life
I’d completely forgotten about this song until it came on during the drive back from my sister’s wedding.
Let’s hear it for random mix CDs, and friends with eclectic taste in music.
#songoftheday: Paul McCartney – Maybe I’m Amazed
Definitely have to thank my sister for tossing this on her wedding playlist.
Without a doubt, the quintessential slow dance song.
#songoftheday: Right Said Fred – I’m Too Sexy
Back from my sister’s wedding, and this was a definite highlight.
Going forward, I’ll probably always associate this song with busting a move alongside two elderly Italian ladies.
#songoftheday: College feat. Electric Youth – A Real Hero
Just about to head out on a little road trip for my sister’s wedding.
Perfect time for a bit of the Drive soundtrack.
#songoftheday: K’s Choice – Not an Addict
I don’t own a ton of Belgian music, but even if I did, this song would still be my favourite.
The steady buildup with the bass and drums draws you in, and the perfectly imperfect vocals keep you hooked. Really compelling stuff.
I’m a bit bummed that this song came out 3 years after I was actually in Belgium. Then again, I doubt that I would’ve really appreciated an alt-rock song about drug addiction at age 11…
#songoftheday: Me First and the Gimme Gimmes – My Heart Will Go On (Celine Dion Cover)
In the world of Punk Rock Covers, no band comes even remotely close to Me First and the Gimme Gimmes.
They’ve really outdone themselves on this new album. It perfectly combines the high quality song picks of their first album, with the more complicated arrangements from their later releases. When it’s performed by these guys, turning Celine Dion’s well known ballad into an Irish drinking song just makes sense.
