Rebirth Of Slick (Cool Like Dat)
I remember when this shit first came out, it was all over the place. The way it exploded, you would think nobody had ever been boastful and narcissistic over some […]
Framed
It seemed appropriate to throw this song up after I realized my mistake regarding my missing Tori Amos CDs. This 1958 tune written by Leiber & Stoller and originally recorded […]
A retraction
A few weeks ago I mentioned that I had a couple of Tori Amos CDs go missing a while back and I had presumed they were stolen. I’ve been cleaning […]
Break On Through (To The Other Side)
From The Doors‘ 1967 debut album. I’ve loved this song most of my life; what else is there really to say about it? Have a great week, people. If the embedded video doesn’t load, click to watch The Doors – Break On Through (To the Other Side) at YouTube.

I Gotsta Get Paid
This is from ZZ Top’s latest album, which dropped earlier this week. I love ZZ Top, and I’m happy they’re still around, because this band is older than I am. […]

If you don’t know what this track is, here’s a piece on it at National Public Radio. Rapper’s Delight pumps me up for a lot of different reasons. There’s nostalgia; […]
Cosmic Slop

Hit
Hey People! A small change you should know about if you’ve bookmarked or linked to any of the Songs Of The Day, read more here. So much for getting back on a regular schedule. I’m really going to get back to it this week. Really. From the Holy Shit, I Can’t Believe This Is 20 Years Old file comes The […]
