http://www.youtube.com/watch/?v=KrMW2CI1NIY Bonus Song of the Day: Akron/Family – Don’t Be Afraid, You’re Already Dead A love song, in its own particular way. (Source: http://www.youtube.com/)
Song of the Day: Harry Nilsson – Subterranean Homesick Blues
http://www.youtube.com/watch/?v=tI5L_tehaQ0 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: Dr. John – Danse Kalinda Ba Doom
http://www.youtube.com/watch/?v=XdfnsrlnB9s 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: Plastic Bertrand – Ca Plane Pour Moi
http://www.youtube.com/watch/?v=bVDfmn_TMkI Song of the Day: Plastic Bertrand – Ca Plane Pour Moi Because they didn’t play it at Hang the DJ. Do you need a better reason for ooh-wee-ooh-ooh? (Source: http://www.youtube.com/)

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
http://www.youtube.com/watch/?v=RWzHcS55rzQ 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
http://www.youtube.com/watch/?v=0IRjl3SWC2U 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/)
Song of the Day: Finch – Unspoken is the Word
http://www.youtube.com/watch/?v=fERtm_iuHsk Song of the day: Finch – Unspoken is the Word No, not that Finch — this is a wonderfully chill instrumental Dutch prog tune from the late 1970s. It sounds like the song you’d hear over the end credits of a late-90s sci-fi racing game, as replays of all the fantastical lands you’ve driven … Continue reading
