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: Bon Jovi – Runaway
Gotta love that super-determined 80s keyboard intro.
#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: Nazareth – Hair of the Dog
Usually the guitarist is the one in charge of the talk box. When Nazareth plays this live however, the lead guitar player still does their thing, and the lead singer has the plastic tubing in their mouth. To add a bit to the presentation, instead of just some plastic tubing, they’ve fashioned it into a set of bagpipes. Functionally, it’s the exact same, but it makes for a great stage prop.
#songoftheday: The Offspring – Mission From God
As far as I’m concerned, this outtake from Ignition made tracking down a copy of Punk O Rama 10 totally worthwhile.
#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.
