Song of the Day: Who Can It Be Now?
Today’s song is Who Can It Be Now? by Men at Work. That punchy saxophone just grips you immediately. Then Colin Hay’s lyrics begin (with that charming Australian accent). Then the harmonies/blending begins and it just progresses into… Read More

Song of the Day: Take Me Home, Country Roads
Today’s song is Take Me Home, Country Roads by John Denver. This is a wonderful driving song. It was also overused for some reason in various media in the mid 2010’s (a-la Fallout 76 and the Kingsman sequel)… Read More

Song of the Day: Send Me on My Way
Today’s song is Send Me on My Way by Rusted Root. A soothing rock classic. Anyone who has seen Matilda (directed by Danny DeVito) associates this track with pancakes. There are worse things to be associated with. This… Read More

Song of the Day: Feeling Good
Today’s song is Feeling Good by Nina Simone. One of my favorite classics. It’s roots are so baked into Simone’s work that few care that this song was originally written for a British musical. I adore this song…. Read More

Song of the Day: No Diggity
Today’s song is No Diggity by Blackstreet. Wanted to showcase something popular. When I say popular, I mean a track that bumped ‘The Macarena” off it’s top-spot. This song was a huge staple of genre (and the late… Read More

Song of the Day: Regulate
Today’s song is Regulate by Warren G. Time for something that holds a significant weight in terms of historical connotations. This one has a ton of mellow funk elements blended into mid-90’s gangsta rap, which was a popular… Read More

Song of the Day: Intergalactic
Today’s song is Intergalactic by Beastie Boys. Had to do it. They have too many great hits. They started as a hardcore punk band that morphed into an alternative Hip Hop/Rap Rock group. A distinct ‘flavor’ of the… Read More

Song of the Day: Bulls On Parade
Today’s song is Bulls On Parade by Rage Against The Machine. Time for a bit of angst. Rap Metal is a solid fit for that. Sorry that this is explicit, but what did you expect? I walk a… Read More
