• Song of the Day #1,739: ‘In the City’ – Caveman

  Number of comments: 6
  Caveman is an indie band from Brooklyn that has released two albums over the past two years. AllMusic describes their sound as a blend of “experimental rock, post-rock, wistful indie rock, and African music traditions.” Listening to ‘In the City,’ the single from their self-titled new release, I’m hearing a [...]

• Song of the Day #1,716: ‘Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes’ – Jimmy Buffett

  Number of comments: 6
  America’s favorite island poet, Jimmy Buffett, chimes in today with a beautiful bit of homespun wisdom. This track appears on the album of the same name, Buffett’s breakthrough record (also featuring his signature hit ‘Margaritaville’). This has long been one of my favorite Jimmy Buffett songs, both for its easygoing [...]

• Song of the Day #1,709: ‘Open Sesame’ – Kool & The Gang

  Number of comments: 6
  I don’t really have much to say about today’s Random Weekend selection except that a) this is one of the last tracks I would choose to highlight from the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack if it were up to me; and b) John Travolta was such a sexy and dynamic presence [...]

• Song of the Day #1,706: ‘We Used to Wait’ – Arcade Fire

  Number of comments: 6
  The Suburbs is really finishing strong. ‘We Used to Wait’ is another excellent track. Propelled by a high jabbing piano chord, it’s an adrenaline rush that served as the album’s first single. Thematically, Win Butler is back on the topic of technology and its deadening impact on modern life. He [...]

• Song of the Day #1,659: ‘Losing You’ – Solange

  Number of comments: 6
  Talk about growing up in the shadow of greatness. Solange is Beyoncé’s little sister, a young woman who no doubt wants to be the Eli Manning of pop/R&B music, but better hope she doesn’t wind up the Stephen Baldwin. While Solange is a pale imitation of her goddess older sister, [...]

• Song of the Day #1,652: ‘Summer Nights (Live)’ – Reassembled Cast of Grease

  Number of comments: 6
  I never thought I could milk a week’s worth of blog posts out of the Schooner Bar on the Liberty of the Seas, but here we are. One night, Paul O’Shea played the first few notes of ‘Summer Nights’ from the Grease soundtrack and then looked to the audience for [...]

• Song of the Day #1,600: ‘Practical Amanda’ – Ben Folds

  Number of comments: 6
  Author Nick Hornby (one of my favorites) teamed up with Ben Folds (likewise) on the 2010 album Lonely Avenue. Hornby penned a bevy of powerful, emotional songs — along with some very funny ones — but the one that feels the most familiar to me is ‘Practical Amanda.’ This song [...]

• Song of the Day #1,552: ‘Mama, You Been On My Mind’ – Molly Parden

  Number of comments: 6
  I’ve spent the first few days of the week looking at the numbers. Now I want to look at the names. My musical genome groupings have made for some interesting bedfellows. Take ‘Melancholy Pop,’ where Michael Penn, Fountains of Wayne, The Shins and The Smiths all make their home. I [...]

• Song of the Day #1,508: ‘Piano Man’ – Billy Joel

  Number of comments: 6
  Billy Joel is another strand in the ‘Piano Men (And Women)’ segment of my personal musical genome. That’s fitting, considering he gave it its name. And I didn’t feel right selecting any other song to represent him. Joel doesn’t bridge any of my other categories in a meaningful way. Apart [...]

• Song of the Day #1,497: ‘Seven Devils’ – Florence + The Machine

  Number of comments: 6
  I’ve spent the week looking back on the summer through the prism of sports, television, movies and song, so it’s only fitting that I should close things out with a discussion of the written word. I suppose the official book of the summer would be Fifty Shades of Grey (along [...]
