Song Of The Day 1.31.12

Let's end January with a bang. What better way to do that then with the dark and brooding, yet soulful sounds of Type O Negative. Peter Steele had one of the best voices in metal music history. Unfortunately his life was cut too short a couple of years ago. RIP Peter and here tonight is Type O Negative with Black No. 1

Tonight let's go to the Great White North and pull down a couple of sisters to sing to us. I'm of course talking about the wonderful twin sister set of Tegan and Sara. These girls make wonderful music together and are a band that everyone should listen to. I'm going to go with the title track of their fourth album tonight. Here are Tegan and Sara with The Con

The River. It's a title that has been used for many songs. I can name at least a few bands that have a song called The River. One of my favorites being by Manchester Orchestra. Tonight's song is not that one though. No tonight we are going to an album from 1990 called The River by no other than Bruce Springsteen. The man knows how to write hits, whether it be Born In The USA, Born To Run, Dancing In The Dark, or The River. It's an awesome song. Here is Bruce Springsteen with The River

I am about to watch The Breakfast Club. So here is tonight's song. I think you'll know why

Song of the Day 1.27.12

I was supposed to see tonight's band last year two days before my birthday. They were supposed to open for Kings of Leon before the tour was canceled. I was royally pissed off. I am talking about Band of Horses. These guys are incredible with their sound. I got into them on their second album Cease To Begin which is amazing. Their third album came out two years ago. But tonight's song comes from their first album Everything All The Time. I had been meaning to get the album for the longest time, but never did. However, yesterday I was up at Lou's Records and saw it on vinyl and I thought hey might as well. And let me tell you it is a beautiful record with so much emotion. I can't get enough of it. Here is Band of Horses with The Funeral

I love prog rock. That should be evident by now at least a little bit with my earlier post of King Crimson. There are a lot of progressive rock bands out there now that in their own rights bring a lot to the table. One of my favorites to come out of this genre is Umphrey's McGee. They released an album last year entitled Death By Stereo. I think this one was meant to be more of a commercial release because the songs aren't as up to par as what they are capable of doing. However, there are a few gems to be found here. I say this about a lot of bands that I love, but a bad Umphrey's McGee song is better than 99% of the music that is out there. What I love about the song that I chose is that it's a tale of two different songs. The first half is full of singing and an offbeat time signature for the backing music. Then the second half is followed up with a beautiful bass and guitar solo. The best part is the transition between the two. I hope you enjoy. Here is Umphrey's McGee with Search 4

Lamb of God is back! The band has had a couple of just okay records in the past few years. Their newest album Resolution goes back to what they do best. I have enjoyed this album a lot since picking it up yesterday and it really is a great way to start off the year. It's hard hitting, it's brutal and will leave you coming back for more. That is if you like this type of music. I promised variety and here it is. Here is Lamb of God with King Me
