Song of the day........ Weezer with "The World Has Turned And Left Me Here"


The "Blue Album" has by Weezer has to be one of the best albums of the '90's, but if you've only heard the songs that made it to radio you are really missing out. Some of this albums bests tracks in my opinion are the ones that you've probably never heard. One of those is this great track "The World Has Turned And Left Me Here." It pretty much rocks right out of the gate. The vocal harmonies on this track are really good, and compliments the song the whole way through. In particular that pre-chorus guitar riff and the vocals that go along with it are just magical. Just a great all around track from Weezer.

Song of the day...... Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds with "Gravedigger"

I really dig these acoustic tracks with Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds. The two really compliment each other quite well, and have created some really amazing musical moments. Many of these are evidenced in the Live at Radio City album. One of my faves off of that album is this song "Gravedigger." Just some amazing guitar work going on here... So, check out "Gravedigger."

Song of the day.........Rancid with "Time Bomb"

The '90's was an amazing period for music. I was so fixated on the Seattle scene that I missed out on some really great tracks that were being put out by bands on the outskirts of the Seattle scene. Case and point with this band Rancid. I was familiar with some of the radio tracks, but not some of the deeper cuts. I am discovering that "...And Out Come The Wolves" is just a really great work of music. There are some really great tracks on this album. Today's song of the day though is one of the tracks that was pretty well played on the radio in the '90's. It's this track "Time Bomb." I like Punk music, and at times I like Ska music. Rancid's sound is described by many as Ska Punk. You can hear a pretty good mix of both genres in this track. It's one of my faves from Rancid. Enjoy "Time Bomb."

Song of the day...........Satchel with "Isn't That Right"

I always dig discovering side projects from bands that I really like listening to. Today's song of the day is from this band Satchel, which is related to a side project of Pearl Jam. I started listening to Brad, a side project of Pearl Jam guitarist Stone Gossard, shortly after they released their first album. At the center of Brad is this amazing vocalist/keyboardis Shawn Smith. He is also in Satchel, along with the tremendous Regan Hagar on drums. The Seattle Music Scene is really this web of connected artists. It's really interesting. I once saw a flow chart in a magazine that showed how all of these Seattle musicians were in related musical projects. Anyways, today's song of the day is off of the Satchel album "The Family." Just a great album with some really good Rock tracks. I love the piano part in this, and the bass line that is played during the guitar solo. Really good stuff. So, check out "Isn't That Right" by Satchel.
