Song of the day........Danzig with "Mother"

This video for the live version of Danzig's "Mother" was released back when I was in High School, and I'd be lying if I said that my friends and I didn't laugh every time it came on MTV. It's a song that maybe has grown on me over the years. From laughing at it to now when I take it maybe a bit more seriously than I did in High School. It's not a bad song. In fact it's pretty catch if you listen to it a couple of times. Give it a watch/listen, and try not to laugh or get the song stuck in your head for the better part of a day.

Song of the day.........Ryan Adams with "English Girls Approximately"

Today's song of the day is "English Girls Approximately" by Ryan Adams. This song is one of my favorites of all time. The song really builds from first just being Ryan on guitar and vocals and then every other piece of the band coming in one after another. Until the end is Ryan singing the outro and this distorted guitar playing over the top of his vocals. It just has a great sound, and is just a beautiful song. I am a big fan of this one.

Song of the day..........Peter, Bjorn and John with "Up Against The Wall"

I'm really starting to like these guys......... Today's song is a loose jam by this band from Sweeden. Lots of cool things going on with the guitar in this track. The phase shifting guitar part that comes in at the halfway point is great.

Song of the day.......The Amps with "Hoverin'"

Kim Deal is quite possibly the queen of college/indie radio.........if you want to put a label on her music which includes bands such as the Breeders, the Amps, and the poster band for indie radio, The Pixies. Today let's listen to a track from her band The Amps, which Kim formed shortly after The Pixies decided to take some time off. "Hoverin'" is a great track to begin your look at this great band.

Song of the day..........Audioslave with "Shadow On The Sun"

Today's song of the day is off of the debut album by Audioslave. I've always been a big fan of Rage Against the Machine and Soundgarden, so my interest in Audioslave was pretty immediate. My wife and I saw them on their first North American tour date after this album came out and it was absolutely amazing. Tom Morello is in my list of top five guitarists of all time. He can make his guitar make sounds that you would not expect to be made from a guitar. He's absolutely phenomenal. Check out the solo in this track. Just amazing.
