Song of the Day: Whole Wide World
Today’s song is Whole Wide World by Wreckless Eric. Punk-rock. One of my favorite build ups. The progression only grows more saturated and catchy as it continues. I need to thank the film Stranger than Fiction for introducing this… Read More

Song of the Day: Kiss Me
Today’s song is Kiss Me by Sixpence None the Richer. Pop/alt-rock. A soothing track that, while simple, gives a lot to be desired. Kinda irritated that kiss-cams keep playing this one, but what do you expect? It’s perfect for… Read More

Song of the Day: Because You Loved Me
Today’s song is Because You Loved Me by Céline Dion. This is listed as pop, but I think it falls more in line with a soulful ballad. I really enjoy Céline Dion. Her voice is exceptional and I’m rather… Read More

Song of the Day: Because Of You
Today’s song is Because Of You by Reba McEntire. Country-pop. Very little in common with the 2004 original by Kelly Clarkson. This is a duet, featuring both McEntire and Clarkson in parallel. What I enjoy about this one… Read More

Song of the Day: Hard Times
Today’s song is Hard Times by Paramore. New-wave/synthpop. Such an interesting departure from Paramore’s usual sound (Alt-rock/pop-punk). I really dig it. There are some cool elements that melt together with this one. The call/response harmonies, the guitar riffs,… Read More

Today’s song is Hey Man (Now You’re Really Living) by the Eels. Alt-rock. Somewhat indie-pop. Likely the greatest cure for depressed thinking (from the mid 2000’s) that exists. Such an upbeat track. Equally whimsical, inspirational, outlandish and catchy…. Read More

Song of the Day: The Saltwater Room
Today’s song is The Saltwater Room by Owl City. Electronica/synth-pop. It’s cute. That may be the most apt description. Something about it’s sound gives me ‘MySpace’ vibes. Makes sense for it’s 2008-feel (and because Young was actually popular… Read More
