Song of the day........Van Halen with "I'll Wait"

This is one of my favorites from Van Halen from the 1984 album. I love how prominent the synth is in this track and how it complements Eddie's guitar perfectly. Not a huge fan of the David Lee Roth years. I preferred the Hagar years, but this song just stands out. I need to see if I have this on my iPod today.........

Song of the day.......Paul McCartney with "Got To Get You Into My Life"

The song of the day today is Sir Paul McCartney performing the classic Beatles track "Got To Get You Into My Life." When I was first exposed to the Beatles growing up this was the song that really stuck with me. The horn section at the chorus just gives this song such a great hook.

Song of the day.........Radiohead with "Optimistic"

This is one of my favorite Radiohead songs. Just love how the songs builds. I'm not as fond of their more recent stuff, but this one is just great.

Song of the day.......Garth Brooks with "The Thunder Rolls"

This has always been one of my favorite country songs. I guess I love minor chords. The song just has a creepy, dark feel to it. Really good.

Song of the day........ Dave Brubeck with "Upstage Rumba"

Here is a little Dave Brubeck Jazz for your Monday morning. I can totally see Bill Cosby getting down with this jam.

Song of the day........Garbage with "Automatic Systematic Habit"

I love, love, love it when bands change up what they do from album to album. Yesterday Garbage released their "Not Your Kind Of People Album." In preparation for the album release the band had released mini-films for some of the songs on the album. I was particularly interested in this track. In the mini film for this song they had an interview with Garbage drummer, recording guru Butch Vig. If you remember he was the producer of Nirvana's breakthrough album "Nevermind," and more recently the Foo Fighters album "Wasting Light." In the video he explains that when they started playing around with this track in the studio that they chose to lead off the album with this track. The song itself has kind of a pop/dance feel to it. Butch said that he thought that it was a great way to lead off the album. He said that he wanted people to put the record on and listen to that first track and say "WTF?" So, the first new Garbage song that you hear in seven years is this one. I think it's marvelous!!!!
