Song of the Day: Harry Nilsson – Subterranean Homesick Blues
Song of the Day: Harry Nilsson – Subterranean Homesick Blues A nice, scrappy version of Dylan’s classic. Nilsson’s been sick, so his voice is raspier than usual, and John Lennon keeps the production suitably raw. (Source: http://www.youtube.com/)
Song of the Day: Tindersticks – Frozen
Song of the Day: Tindersticks – Frozen Brand-new Tindersticks from their upcoming The Something Rain. They’ve always excelled at atmosphere, but this one pushes things farther into the abstract than anything off their last (excellent) Constellation release. Can’t wait to hear the full album.
Song of the Day: John K Samson – When I Write My Masters Thesis
Song of the Day: “When I Write My Master’s Thesis” by John K. Samson From his new solo album, Provincial. Appropriate for a number of reasons, let’s just say.
A quote from Greil Marcus’s Lipstick Traces

Song of the Day: Dr. John – Danse Kalinda Ba Doom
Song of the Day: Dr. John – Danse Kalinda Ba Doom Believe it or not, Dr. John used to be an awesome voodoo-psychedelia weirdo. I was trying to find a decent live performance from this era, but YouTube has failed me. An album well worth seeking out, though. (Source: http://www.youtube.com/)

Song of the Day: 10cc – You Got a Cold
Song of the Day: You Got a Cold by 10 CC Apologies for the fairly terrible slideshow-based video, but the song itself is relevant to my life right now. (Source: http://www.youtube.com/)
Song of the Day: Rich Aucoin – We’re All Dying To Live :: Public Publication EP / Over The Top! LP
Song of the Day: Rich Aucoin – We’re All Dying To Live :: Public Publication EP / Over The Top! LP Album of the day is more accurate, I guess. Aucoin (a friend describes him as Canada’s Sufjan Stevens) put out an album where he collaborates with 500 different Canadian musicians. As if that weren’t … Continue reading
Song of the Day: A Silver Mount Zion – Blown-Out Joy
Song of the Day: A Silver Mt. Zion – Blown-out Joy From Heaven’s Mercied Hole Tonight. The Republik. It won’t disappoint. (Source: http://www.youtube.com/)
Song of the Day: The Stampeders – Sweet City Woman
Song of the Day: The Stampeders – Sweet City Woman “She feeds me love and tenderness and macaroons” — find me a sweeter sentiment than that. A Calgary classic for those of us with uncomfortably wholesome tendencies. (Source: http://www.youtube.com/)
