Song of the day......The Amazing Royal Crowns with "Gretschy"

Today's song of the day is a tribute to the Gretsch guitar from the band The Amazing Royal Crowns. A couple of friends in high school really dug these guys, but that rockabilly sound didn't really catch on with me until more recently. So, click "Play" on this video for "Gretschy" and hold on!!

Song of the day.......Peter Bjorn and John with "It Don't Move Me" (Remix by Mike Snow)

I am not a big fan of remixes of rock songs by DJ's to be rather honest. Most are barely tollerable. This one is pretty decent though. It helps that it's a remix of a Peter Bjorn and John song as well since they are in heavy rotation at my house at the moment. Check out this remix of "It Don't Move Me."

Song of the day........The Cramps with "I'm Cramped"

For Christmas Eve why not a little Rockabilly to go with your Egg Nogg? Today's song of the day is The Cramps with "I'm Cramped." Have a great Christmas Eve everybody!!!

Song of the day.........Wilco with "You Are My Face"

Wilco is definitley in my top 5 bands of all time list. They are amazing on record and live in person. I try to see them any time they are in the Denver area. The Sky Blue Sky album is one of my favorites from Chicago based Wilco, and it includes this song. "You Are My Face." A great, great song........

Song of the day........Drain S.T.H. with "Serve the Shame"

This is the second time that I have chosen a Drain S.T.H. song as the song of the day. They are an amazing band that disbanded about 10 years after becoming a band. They are an all female metal band from Sweden. Both of their albums are really good, and are worth a listen. Great harmonizing vocals make every track almost sound like a pop song, but with a heavy metal edge to it.

Song of the day......Trans-Siberian Orchestra with "Tracers"

Most people are familiar with TSO's Christmas albums, but some are not familiar with their other albums including "Night Castle," and their Beethoven inspired album "Beethoven's Last Night." Both of which are great albums. This track comes to us from the "Night Castle" album, and the video for this song illustrates what a visual overload TSO's live shows are. I've seen them four times live and can atest that they do an amazing job at putting together a full visual/musical show. Great band!!

Song of the day.........Depeche Mode with "Policy Of Truth"

I think everyone should own a copy of Depeche Mode's "Violator" album. It is one of my favorite albums of all time. So many great, great songs. Some that you've probably never heard. This one was a big hit for them back in the day. Great track!!

Song of the day........Brad with "Believe In Yourself"

One of the most under-rated bands in music in my opinion. Brad creates some amazing music. From Shawn's vocals to Stone's guitar to Mike's bass, and Regan's drums. This is a new track from Brad's album "Best Friends." If you are new to Brad check out their album "Welcome To Discovery Park." That's a great place to start. Amazing band!!!

Song of the day........Drain STH with "Smile"

Today's song of the day is from the now disbanded all-female rock band Drain STH. I saw them perform at Red Rocks years ago for a local radio stations birthday party. They released two albums before they called it quits, and this track is off of their debut album. Both albums are really good and are worth checking out.

Song of the day........U2 with "With or Without You"

I've always enjoyed U2's music throughout the years, but it was just in the last couple of years that I feel like I really started to appreciate their music. To see them on their '360 tour was absolutely amazing, and I can't wait for the chance to see them again. They put on an amazing show. Today's song of the day is from 1987's "Joshua Tree" album. It is such an amazing live song. The crowds volume exceeds Bono's at times during the clip below. "With or Without You" is one of the most amazing songs ever written in my opinion. Enjoy!!

Song of the day.........Persephone's Bees with "Ugly Thing"

Today's song of the day is from a band that you probably are not familiar with. A few years back I saw Persephone's Bees open up for the New Cars at the Boulder Theater. They were a decent Rock/Pop band. In the last year or so I've started listening to more and more of their stuff. It is all really good. If you see them coming to your town, go and check them out. Pick up one of their albums, and listen to the intricate sounds of this band. I think that you'll find it well worth your time. This song is "Ugly Thing" off of their 2010 album "New In Berlin."

Song of the day......Godsmack with "Moon Baby"

I don't mind these guys.......and I usually mind stuff like this. This song is pretty catch and it's got some great changes in it. I've seen them once live, and they were pretty decent too.

Song of the day.........Van Halen with "5150"

Are you a Roth, or a Hagar Van Halen fan? I am a fan of the Sammy Hagar years. I may be in the minority with my opinion, but I just think the music was better during the Hagar years. Sammy could sing all those classics live and I think they sounded better than Roth. Today's song of the day is the title track from the "5150" album.

Song of the day.....Dave Matthews Band with "#41"

Today's song of the day is one of my favorite songs from DMB. Live it usually ends up being 10-15 minutes with a pretty extensive jam at the end. It is just a beautiful song. A great song to hear them play live with everyone in the crowd joining in on the chorus in unison. It's one of my faves.
