Song of the day........Frou Frou with "Breathe In"

I like quirky pop music from time to time. I love the sound of Frou Frou. A very interesting voice mixed with loops that remind me of bands like Postal Service. I like the sound of it...... I'm not sure why the stage looks like an elementary school play set. I'm not feeling that, but I like the sound.....

Song of the day........The Flaming Lips with "Waiting for a Superman"

I have always thought that The Flaming Lips were a very unique band. Some of the antics are a bit odd, but you can tell that a lot of thought has gone into their songs. This beautiful number is off of their "Soft Bulletin" album. I really like the piano parts in this song. Very nice!!

Song of the day.......Cake with "Never There"

Is there a Cake song that isn't infectious? Every song on every album has a hook that leaves it on your mind for days. I love that lead guitarists guitar tone, and there should be a trumpet player in every rock band. I remember this song from back in the day listening to KTCL. Cake is great live as well. Would definitely like to see them again.

Song of the day.......Third Eye Blind with "Never Let You Go"

Call this a guilty pleasure. Third Eye Blind was great at delivering catchy riffs and pop melodies in the '90's. I have to admit I liked a couple of their songs including this hit from their album "Blue."

Song of the day......B.R.M.C. with "Conscience Killer"

I still remember seeing these guys at the "Lion's Lair" in Denver back after their first album was released. I remember sitting out on the sidewalk watching the band unload their gear out of a U-Haul. An amazing live band. Would love to see them again. These guys are still playing old fashioned Rock & Roll the way that it was meant to be played. This is off their most recent release "Beat the Devil's Tattoo."

Song of the day.......Men at Work with "Who Can It Be Now"

One of my favorite bands from the '80's. Men at Work had a few very catchy songs including this hit. Definitely one of my favorite songs from this era. In an era of mostly bad hair bands, some of the synthesizer pop was really, really good.

Song of the day......Tony Furtado with "Bolinas"

Have never been a really big fan of Banjo music. This guy is great though. He can really make a banjo sing. It's worth the watch. Tony can rock the banjo.

Song of the day........ Filter with "Hey Man Nice Shot"

This one is from way back in the day. I never really cared for any of the other tracks that I heard from these guys, but this one was pretty good. I think the Slaughtered Seagulls even played this one back in the day. Great example of the drop - D tuning that was used on so many songs in the '90's grunge era. Good stuff.

Song of the day...... Loose Fur with "Laminated Cat"

Perfect example of a song that builds into a massive crescendo at the song's end. Clocking in at just over seven minutes, the song has plenty of time to build, and as each minute goes by more instruments are added until the end of the song is just a battle of thoughtfully constructed noise. This is definitely one of my favorites from the Loose Fur catalog. Loose fur is made up of two members of Wilco (Glen on Drums, and Jeff on Guitar/Vocals/Bass), and Jim O'Rourke from Sonic Youth fame. Jim O'Rourke actually did the final mix on Wilco's hugely successful Yankee Hotel Foxtrot album. This song was originally slated to appear on that album, however, it didn't make the final cut. Great song!!!

Song of the day.......Roy Orbison with "Only the Lonely"

Roy Orbison has such an amazing voice. This is one of my faves from Roy Orbison.
