Song of the Day: Miku
Today’s song is Miku by Anamanaguchi. Chiptune electropop. A fun track that features the Japanese Vocaloid Hatsune Miku. It’s too interesting to ignore, even if the ending gets a tad strange. Blue hair, blue tie, hiding in your wi-fi…. Read More

Song of the Day: Major Tom
Today’s song is Major Tom by Shiny Toy Guns. Synthpop cover. Nothing against the late ’80’s classic by Peter Schilling. Just like this rendition. The synth/backing is just has a punch to it. Builds the tension, and I love… Read More

Song of the Day: Jackie Onassis
Today’s song is Jackie Onassis by ELIO. Pop. A rather dark song that lingers on the hook, solidifying it as an earworm. Seriously, as you read the lyrics, then understand the subject, it’s grim, bleak and nihilistic. It’s odd… Read More

Song of the Day: Send Me An Angel
Today’s song is Send Me An Angel by Real Life. Synth-pop/New-Wave. This one really lays the synth on heavy, before breaking out the electric guitar. Most from my generation recognize this from GTA5. I guess I can thank Rockstar… Read More

Song of the Day: Monster Mash
Today’s song is Monster Mash by Bobby “Boris” Pickett. Novelty. A classic staple from the early 60’s that works beautifully almost 60 years later. The best song about a mad scientist. Goofy as hell. I love every second of… Read More

Song of the Day: Ghostbusters
Today’s song is Ghostbusters by Ray Parker Jr. Dance Pop. Simple, melodic and sticks in your head like nothing else. The music video was a surreal oddity of rapid-fire celebrity cameos (it has Danny DeVito and John Candy). Mmm,… Read More

Song of the Day: Men in Black
Today’s song is Men in Black by Will Smith. Hip Hop/R&B. The hook is solid (sampled though), the rap lyrics are interesting and it references the whole film. Sets a fun tone (although a bit more nostalgic than… Read More

Song of the Day: Disturbia
Today’s song is Disturbia by Rihanna. Dance-pop. A solid hook, beautiful vocals and (only a few) dating elements. For that, and the aesthetic alone, it deserves the spotlight. The track focuses on confusion and anxiety, leading into the… Read More

Song of the Day: Banana Boat
Today’s song is Banana Boat by Harry Belafonte. Calypso/Mento. I couldn’t resist. These two songs are iconic staples of ‘possession’ in media. It’s the largest earworm that exists in my mind. Few things are ever as catchy. Lift… Read More
