6722. John Denver - Tools

-
Image
From: Aerie ; Year: 1971; Genre: Folk Aerie is one of my top favourite John Denver records; it contains many of his songs that I like a great deal. Tools is a short, but sweet acoustic track that really acts like a "cooldown" to bring the album to a close, especially after the previous epic and energetic song The Eagle and the Hawk . Apparently it is an ode to a childhood pet rabbit he had for a short span.   Hear Tools on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: The Lovin' Spoonful - Daydream     My song pick 2 years ago today: Hawkwind - Lost Johnny   My song pick 3 years ago today: The Soul Searchers - Ashley's Roachclip   My song pick 4 years ago today: Frank Mackey & The Keltic Cowboys - Promise of a Better Life   My song pick 5 years ago today: The Supremes - You Can't Hurry Love   My song pick 6 years ago today: Yes - Harold Land   My song pick 7 years ago today: The Charles Mingus Quintet + Max Roach - Dr...

-
Image
From: Irene & Mavis ; Year: 1980; Genre: Synthpop/Electronic Rock Just recently discovered this early EP from Blancmange that predates their debut album Happy Families by a couple of years. It is really neat hearing the duo in a more embryonic state musically, this instrumental track is one of my favourite thus far.   Hear Holiday Camp on YouTube.        My song pick 1 year ago today: Golden Earring - Future     My song pick 2 years ago today: ABBA - The Name of the Game   My song pick 3 years ago today: Naked Eyes - Always Something There to Remind Me   My song pick 4 years ago today: The Cosmic Sound Orchestra - Fight   My song pick 5 years ago today: Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark - If You Leave   My song pick 6 years ago today: Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth   My song pick 7 years ago today: Midnight Oil - King of the Mountain My song pick 8 years ago today: The Wootens - Do I Do My song pick 9 year...

6721. 3 Doors Down - Let Me Go

-
Image
From: Seventeen Days ; Year: 2005; Genre: Alternative Rock It has been a weird year thus far; many deaths occurring from music's past. However, whilst I've never really followed the band closely, this one has had a unique impact on myself with having someone so close to my age pass away.  Enough about that now; as you probably surmised and already know, Brad Arnold, singer/songwriter for 3 Doors Down lost his battle with cancer. I thought I'd pick one of the band's songs that I remember from back in the day.   Hear Let Me Go on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Jethro Tull - The Tipu House     My song pick 2 years ago today: Mr. Bungle - Stub (A Dub)   My song pick 3 years ago today: Lou Rawls - See You When I Git There   My song pick 4 years ago today: Barenaked Ladies - Internal Dynamo   My song pick 5 years ago today: Herbie Hancock - Vein Melter   My song pick 6 years ago today: Steve Vai - The Blood & ...

From: King Animal ; Year: 2012; Genre: Alternative Metal/Grunge I'm having an extremely busy day, so I'm having to be a bit brief with today's pick. Anyway, this is one of my favourites from Soundgarden's just-released album King Animal ; I love how they were able to keep their classic sound, but still have an infusion of new sound at the same time. Hear Taree on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Lighthouse - Pretty Lady My song pick two years ago today: Ugly Kid Joe - Mr. Recordman My song pick three years ago today: Chet Atkins & Jerry Reed - Something My song pick four years ago today: Buddy Holly & the Crickets - Well... All Right My song pick five years ago today: Fleetwood Mac - Dreams

6724. Lemonheads - Frank Mills

-
Image
From: It's a Shame About Ray ; Year: 1992; Genre: Alternative Rock/Folk Rock It's another one of those times that a song that I haven't heard in decades, (about 30 years I'd wager), popped into my mind and started playing. At least this time I knew the name of the band that recorded it, so that really expedited the process of finding it again. This is actually a cover of a song that appeared in the landmark musical production Hair , which is something I did not know about this one, but now I do.    Hear Frank Mills on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Melvins - Revulsion/We Reach     My song pick 2 years ago today: Joe Satriani - Driving at Night   My song pick 3 years ago today: Big Maybelle - Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On   My song pick 4 years ago today: The Coasters - Run Red Run   My song pick 5 years ago today: Return to Forever - After the Cosmic Rain   My song pick 6 years ago today: Nazareth - This Fligh...

1411 Nightwish - Last of the Wilds (Erämaan viimeinen)

1411 Nightwish - Last of the Wilds (Erämaan viimeinen) From: Dark Passion Play , Year: 2007 Genre: Symphonic Metal/Folk Metal Been meaning to pick another Nightwish track for a while now. This is quite a neat track, the Uilleann bagpipes really add a lot to the sound. The song actually has two versions: Last of the Wilds is an instrumental, which was released worldwide on their Dark Passion Play album. Erämaan viimeinen is essentially the same song with vocals sung in Finnish; this version apparently was only released in their native Finland. The vocals on Erämaan viimeinen were actually sung by Jonsu , who is the lead singer of the band Indica . Hear Last of the Wilds on YouTube. Hear Erämaan viimeinen on YouTube. Here is a live performance of Last of the Wilds on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Rush - Caravan My song pick two years ago today: John Denver - This Old Guitar My song pick three years ago today: Rammstein - Stirb Nicht Vor Mi...

1298 L'Arc~en~Ciel - Spirit Dreams Inside

1298 L'Arc~en~Ciel - Spirit Dreams Inside Continuing my week of picking songs from dormant or dead song a day blogs with pick #3; this one comes off of Niveous' 10kdays blog . It's one of the oldest song a day blogs associated with the Song Fight community and is one of the blogs that went the furthest before stopping, (at 1070 total songs picked); his last pick was a little over a year ago on the 7th of February, 2010. His blog was one of the ones that I followed pretty close mostly because of variety of music he posted, plus he was one of the only other bloggers to post J-Rock/J-Pop music, which leads me to the song that I'm picking from his archives today. This was his 397th pick and was part of a J-Rock A-Z theme. Most Otaku will immediately recognize this band's name from a few animés in which they played opening/ending music, which is, I have to admit, from where I discovered them as well. However, L'Arc~en~Ciel is quite a successful band outside ...
