  Top Songs of 2012 – #5 Contrary to the title of his latest album, Out of the Game, Rufus Wainwright got very much back into the game this year with his first pop release since 2007. His last album was 2010′s All Days Are Nights: Songs For Lulu, a collection [...]

  Fifteen years before swing music hit mainstream pop culture through bands such as the Brian Setzer Orchestra, Squirrel Nut Zippers and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Joe Jackson put out his own album of swing covers called Jumpin’ Jive. Jumpin’ Jive was Jacksin’s fourth album and it was released just three [...]

• Song of the Day #1,632: ‘If You Wear That Velvet Dress’ – U2

  Number of comments: 1
  Today’s track is one of my favorites from U2′s mostly forgettable 1997 album, Pop. It has a sleek, sexy groove, courtesy of Larry Mullen, Jr., and Adam Clayton’s subliminal rhythm section that kicks in about a minute and a half into the song. I’ve always thought that this song is [...]

• Song of the Day #1,631: ‘Michael Praytor, Five Years Later’ – Ben Folds Five

  Number of comments: 1
  Top Songs of 2012 – #6 One of my happiest musical memories of 2012 was the reunion of Ben Folds Five thirteen years after their last album together. Their new record, The Sound of the Life of the Mind, sounded exactly like a Ben Folds Five record should sound a [...]

• Song of the Day #1,630: ‘Labrador’ – Aimee Mann

  Top Songs of 2012 – #7 Anyone familiar with Aimee Mann’s discography would be unlikely to cite her sense of humor as a standout attribute. She writes melancholy songs about people at the end of their ropes. That’s what she’s always done and probably what she’ll always do. Sometimes she [...]

  Top Songs of 2012 – #8 I’ve gotten used to the high quality of Bob Dylan’s recent albums. Unlike the 80s and 90s, there is no longer a fear in the back of my head that his next release might be a real head-scratcher. This is probably where some of [...]

  Top Songs of 2012 – #9 First things first… Merry Christmas, everyone! This post marks my fifth Christmas since starting the Song of the Day series, and I still haven’t missed a day. Now, on to the matter at hand. John Mayer returned to form this year with Born and [...]

• Song of the Day #1,627: ‘Spring’ – Tift Merritt

  Number of comments: 1
  Top Songs of 2012 – #10 Tift Merritt’s fifth studio album, Traveling Alone, is a lower key affair than her previous releases. It is made up primarily of acoustic ballads with melodies that take a little while to seep in. But in a few spots, Merritt and her band open [...]

• Song of the Day #1,626: ‘Penguins (Live)’ – Lyle Lovett

  Enclosure: [download]

  My family and I always play the “what song will be first?” game when we attend concerts. I remember seeing Lyle Lovett perform with his Large Band once in Pompano Beach and throwing out a bunch of great guesses only to have him take the stage and launch into ‘Penguins,’ [...]

  This is the second track from the Davd Byrne and Brian Eno collaboration, Everything That Happens Will Happen Today, to show up on a Random Weekend. And as much as I enjoy David Byrne’s work, both as a solo artist and as leader of Talking Heads, I just can’t make [...]
