Owner: Dave's Song of the Day URL:http://www.davessongoftheday.com Join Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2008 14:48:13 -0600 Rating:0 Site Description: I’ll post a new song every single day, something that you will like, if you like good music… The only rules I have is that I have to actually like the song, and want to listen to it a bunch, and it has to be something I’ve never posted before.

Beck: Tropicalia 2008-11-11 08:49:01 Oh Beck, always unleashing weird but amazing songs on the world. I’ve gotta say, Tropicalia’s instrumentation is the most exciting part of listening to it. By my count, he’s got a jazz guitar, a ratchet, bells, horns, bass, random noise effects, flute, drums, electric guitar, and countless others that I missed. What’s amazing is that [...]
OK Go: It’s a Disaster 2008-11-10 09:20:03 Perhaps you know them as the ridiculous treadmill video band. (That’s how i I knew them). But OK Go’s album is actually really solid, and while I’ve never seen them live, from the looks of their shows on YouTube, it seems like they put on a pretty good show, doing interesting things with their songs. [...] Read more:Disaster
Charles Mingus: Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting 2008-11-09 20:13:16 OK, so granted, not what you were expecting. But don’t turn away just yet. Mingus is one of my all time favorites, and not just within the jazz genre. He understood how to write bass driven songs that were also melodic. That he always had virtuosos playing with him didn’t hurt. WednesdayNightPrayer

Weezer: The Angel and the One 2008-11-08 15:58:32 To anyone who knew me in high school, you must be surprised I hadn’t yet chosen a Weezer
song. The Blue album and Pinkerton were all I listened to. (Well that’s not true, I went through a Credence phase in there too). Don’t worry, they are still one of my all time favorites. Shortly before their latest [...]
Supertramp: Bloody Well Right 2008-11-06 09:54:41 Supertramp is such a prototypical 70s rock band, it almost sounds like a weird combination of all the others. All of their songs have like 8 parts, are imbued with the funk, and are about nothing. But they have some great tracks. Bloody Well Right
fits that description to a T. Such a funky groove, [...]
CSS: This Month Day 10 2008-11-05 10:00:49 CSS is probably known to most people as the band that made that song in the iPod Touch commercial. And I’ll admit, that’s what drew me in, but their album is fantastic. (Though from looking for a good YouTube clip of this song, it seems like the get completed wasted at all of their shows, so [...] Read more:Month
The Black Keys: Stack Shot Billy 2008-11-04 09:43:50 Standing in line to vote, I was having trouble figuring out what today’s song would be. I knew it had to have more of an edge than the past few days, but as I listened to Rubber Factory, nothing was standing out. Then that raw guitar opening comes blaring through my headphones. The perfect song. [...] Read more:Billy

Razorlight: To the Sea 2008-11-03 10:16:05 In honor of Razorlight releasing their new album, “Slipway Fires” today, it’s only appropriate that they get today’s song. To the Sea, on their first album, starts out up beat with a “happy little*” rolling guitar riff. But as the song builds, the song becomes increasingly stormy, building toward a screaming blaring crescendo. I’m inclined to [...]
Jamiroquai: Main Vein 2008-11-02 10:41:31 I always have to search for Main Vein. Every couple of years or so, I think to myself “Hey, what’s that Jamiroquai
song with the incredible back up vocals at the end?” After realizing that nearly every Jamiroquai song has incredible back up vocals at the end, I finally come across Main Vein. That’s one [...]
Sly & The Family Stone: Family Affair 2008-12-01 08:46:18 And, we’re back. When I was visiting my parents over the holiday, I ended up listening to a lot of Sly & The FamilyStone
(as my Thanksgiving post mentioned), so it wouldn’t be right to not pick them today. And what better pick would there be than Family Affair
.
With Billy Preston and Bobby Womack [...]
Happy Thanksgiving 2008-11-27 13:40:56 I’m taking a break… but if you really need inspiration, I’d listen to Sly & The Family Stone today, that’s what I’m doing. Read more:Happy

Tool: Forty Six & 2 2008-11-26 16:18:08 I haven’t always been that into Tool, but I’ve realized I just need to stop that nonsense. Not only are they the hardest rocking band out there, they also actually work really hard at song creation.
My brother, who is a big Tool (fan), was telling me Forty Six & 2 employs an Indian modal scale, [...]
The Who: Baba O’Riley 2008-11-25 09:32:57 Most of The Who’s songs are in some way interesting and intriguing, as in, not your standard rock song. For me, Baba O’Riley
has always stood out amongst them. That organ in the background, with the crazy repeater function, the smashing, crashing cymbals, and the violins/harmonica solo (depending on which version they play) come together [...]
Arctic Monkeys: When The Sun Goes Down 2008-11-24 09:21:14 Arctic Monkeys
took a while to grow on me, and if you don’t always listen to them, it may take a few listens for you too. The British indie rock band has influences from British rock, punk rock, and a little funk thrown on top. When The Sun Goes Down is a good example of [...] Read more:Arctic

Carl Carlton: She’s A Bad Mama Jama 2008-11-23 12:23:14 Yea, I went there. It’s always surprising to me when I discover a song like this. I’m just shocked I hadn’t known it before six months ago, like when all I listened to was the Pure Funk CD for a summer in high school. (If anyone can find that tv commercial somewhere, let me know). [...] Read more:Carlton
Queen: Hammer to Fall 2008-11-22 10:31:39 Admittedly, I only found Queen
through the Wayne’s World Bohemian Rhapsody scene. But I dutifully bought Classic Queen, and I remember watching the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert with my parents, just a few months later. (Incidentally, that must have been the greatest concert of all time. I so wish I had been older, and, you [...] Read more:Hammer
The Brand New Heavies: Shelter 2008-11-21 09:33:28 Well, this post has been doomed from the start. First I was going to pick The Brand
New Heavies cover of I Don’t Know Why. It’s really a fantastic version of Stevie Wonder’s song. Then I listened to Stevie’s version of the song again, and damn-it, Stevie does it so much better (Also, the Jackson 5 [...] Read more:Shelter
So I was on my way home… 2008-11-19 19:55:01 So I was walking through the subway station at Grand Central, and who should I see playing the trumpet but my friend Matt Brown. He’s a trumpet player, and I’ve never actually heard him play before, so I was glad to accidentally bump into him. From what I heard, Matt is effortlessly smooth on the [...]
