This song seemed right for a overcast somewhat gloomy morning.

Song of the Day 10/14/18 Jack Johnson “Banana Pancakes”
I’ll always connect Jack Johnson with Sunday morning. For years when my kids were in high school and after, we volunteered (insisted) to host the post prom parties, New Year’s Eve parties,etc. We did it for peace of mind to ensure the kids would be safe (no booze) and still have fun. Half the fun for me was getting up the next morning and making a big breakfast for a bunch of sleepy teenagers . I always had some Jack playing. Nothing like puttering in the kitchen with the smells of coffee, bacon, pancakes (I favor banana)…….
Song of the Day 10/13/18 Brett Dennen “Comeback Kid (That’s my Dog)”
Just a little bit of pop eat candy. Love this song. Always gets me moving
Song of the Day 10/12/18 Rolling Stones “You Got Me Rocking”
Latter day Stones music gets brushed off in favor of their classics but I love this song.
Song of the Day (TBT) 10/11/18 Paul Westerberg “Can’t Hardly Wait”
So it’s a 1993 performance by the former lead singer of the band who originally did the song in the 80s. I’m traveling home after s few days away so this song is perfect..
side note.. it’s an SNL performance introduced by Charleston Heston. Times have changed.
Song of the Day TBT 10/11/18 Talking Heads – Crosseyed and Painless
This one, from their 1980 album Remain in Light, takes me back to college and my friend Kathy who lived on the second floor of our dorm. She was the one who broadened my musical frontiers so to speak, and introduced me to Talking Heads, The Clash and so many other bands. Hell at one point we even drove down to DC for a Laurie Anderson show. This ones for you Kathy wherever you may be.
Song of the Day 10/10/18 The Glands “I Can See My House From Here
Quick ! Name an indie band from Athens Georgia that is not the B-52s or REM…. how about the Glands…. I’ll be digging deeper into their catalogue for sure
Song of the Day 10/9/18 Eric Church “Desperate Man”
Great song by an artist who refuses to be constrained by the label “ country music “
Song of the Day 10/8/18 Pearl Jam “Lightning Bolt”
We’ve been doing songs of the day for over 3 months now and I haven’t had PJ yet? Let’s fix that.
Song of the Day 10-07-18 Tim Hecker “Music for Tundra
Tim Hecker is a Canadian electronic musician and sound artist. To me this song perfectly captures the tension of a Sunday morning, perched between looking forward to the week ahead while considering the week that has just concluded. Sometimes the minutiae and details from the past week keep intruding on the contemplative state Sunday morning music usually brings.
