Song of the Day: Poor Unfortunate Souls

Today’s song is Poor Unfortunate Souls by The Jonas Brothers. Pop Rock. I know, you’re questioning my judgement with this one. Nothing at all against the original by Pat Carroll. Say what you will, but this was the only… Read More

Song of the Day: Zombie

Today’s song is Zombie by The Cranberries. Alt-Rock/Grunge. A protest song that is MUCH older than I thought (always considered it a mid-2000’s song). The tone of this one is so harsh, but the feeling just drips off… Read More

Song of the Day: Bring Me To Life

Today’s song is Bring Me To Life by Evanescence. Nu metal/Alt-Rock. A track that encapsulates that odd post-grunge era of the new millennium (complete with angst). I get it. This song has become a meme, but damn is… Read More

Song of the Day: I Put a Spell On You

Today’s song is I Put a Spell On You by Screamin’ Jay Hawkins. R&B/Shock-Rock. The story of this song is nuts. I love it. Seriously, read the history, then remember this was in the 50’s, and it’s a… Read More

Song of the Day: Dead Hearts

Song of the Day: She Wolf

Today’s song is She Wolf by Shakira. Electropop. A song about werewolves or something. Nobody wants to question why there would be a wolf in the closet? Nocturnal creatures are not so prudent. The moon’s my teacher and… Read More
