Song of the Day 9-14-18 Wyldlife – “Contraband”
Something a little loud and noisy for the end of the week! Heard this on a compilation of current garage rock bands on Little Steven’s Wicked Cool Records. Enjoy!
Song of the Day TBT 9/13/18 Tom Tom Club – “Genius of Love”
Tom Tom Club was the dance/funk side project of Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz from Talking Heads fame. While on hiatus from the Heads in 1980, they recorded this catchy number which appeared on their self titled 1981 album. Just shows the incredible talent that all of the members of Talking Heads had. This song also featured avant garde guitarist Adrian Belew

For a period of time in high school, The Guess Who’s Greatest Hits lived in my cassette player. This one brings back memories
Song of the Day 9/12/18 Tom Petty “Room at the Top”
One of my favorite unappreciated songs from an underrated album.

Great song by this San Antonio native whose music has skirted rock , punk , alt-country with Mexican and jazz influences
Song of the Day 9/10/18 Warren Zevon “Desperados Under the Eaves”
If I closed my eyes and pointed at a random song from a list of Warren Zevon songs, I couldn’t choose poorly. Here’s one for a rainy Monday.
Song of the Day 9/9/18 Terje Isungset “Fading Sun”
Terje Isungset is a Norwegian percussionist and composer who creates music using instruments he creates from ice. He evens performs concerts with these instruments (usually in Norway and Russia for obvious reasons!). Music definitely for quiet moods.
Song of the Day 8/9/18 REM -“Nightswimming”
I forget sometimes how much great music REM made. This is an under the radar favorite of mine. Love the imagery in this song
Song of the Day 9/8/18 Ryan Culwell “ Can You Hear Me ?”
Bit of a Springsteenesqe Quality to this singer. His question at the beginning of the song “is anyone out there alive?” Seems to be a nod to The Boss
