Song of the day.............Mick Turner & Tren Brothers with "Help Mr. Rabbit I Can't Get Out"

There isn't a whole lot going on with this track. Just close to six minutes of the same thing over and over again. I'm still not sure that I really care for it all that much. It might be a perfect song for your lazy Sunday though............

Song of the day..........Angels & Airwaves with "Everything's Magic"

Today's song of the day is "Everything's Magic" from Angels & Airwaves. Angels is fronted by Tom DeLonge from Blink 182, who I've always been kind of on the fence about to be rather honest. There are some Blink songs that I really like, but I'm not a fan of most of their material. In fact, Blink was the only concert that I have ever left halfway through. Their concert was kind of this mix of music and stand-up, which after about forty five minutes had kind of run its course. You have to appreciate though their career, success, and the fortitude that they have had through personal tragedy. Anyways, I'm still trying to get into this song, but give it a listen and let me know what you think.

Song of the day.........The Rolling Stones with "Jumping Jack Flash"

Today's song of the day is "Jumping Jack Flash" from the Rolling Stones. Why? Because it's Friday!!! It's Friday!!! This has always been one of my favorite Stones songs. The Stones were probably not even in my top five classic rock bands when I was growing up, so I've kind of been turned on to them later in life. I find myself loving more and more of their hit songs. I need to get some of their albums though and listen to some of those in between tracks. Finding the tracks in between the hits and liking them is such an enjoyable experience, because you can enjoy a band or songwriter for material that is new to you, and hasn't been in rotation on the radio since the '60's or whatever. Anyways, enjoy the "Jumping Jack Flash," and jump because it's Friday.

Song of the day.........Goo Goo Dolls with "Sympathy"

Today's song of the day is from the Goo Goo Dolls 2002 album "Gutterflower." "Sympathy" is a little acoustic number that was probably the highlight off of the "Gutterflower" album. The song features lead singer/guitarist Johnny Rzeznik on acoustic guitar, and there is also a Mandolin throughout the song. This is one of my favorites from this Buffalo, New York band. Give it a listen.

Song of the day............Big Head Todd and the Monsters with "Please Don't Tell Her"

Today's song of the day is from the Colorado based band Big Head Todd and the Monsters. Their songs are the result of a perfect mix of Rock, Blues, and Soul. Todd Park Mohr's voice and bluesy guitar riffs just complete this song. As evidenced by this clip, they are also a great live act.

Song of the day...........Third Eye Blind with "How's It Going To Be"

Even if you weren't a big fan of Third Eye Blind in the '90's you couldn't help but respect the fact that every single that they released was more and more catchy, and contagious. If you heard one of their songs earlier in the day you would inevitably end up humming or singing the song later in the day........ That's a pretty powerful thing to have that kind of effect from your music. One of those songs was "How's It Going To Be."

Song of the day.........Alanis Morissette with "You Learn"

Today's song of the day is from Alanis Morissette from the album that made her a household name in the early '90's. To this day it's the song that I remember most from this album. It was an album that had hit after hit on it, but this one has always stood out to me. I love the bridge from this song. The vocal thing that Alanis is doing just goes so well with the little riff that the guitarist is playing. I love that part in this song. So, for your Monday, it's one of my faves from Alanis.
