How 'bout a "Friday - song-o-the-day" thread?
Place is kinda dead today so I'll see if we can get one of these Friday threads going.
At work I usually put the thousand or so songs that are on my hard drive on random play. The playlist is made up of selected songs from albums that have been in and out of rotation for the past couple of years. Heard a few good one's today..."Many Splendored Thing" - Papa M, "Moscow Nights - The Feelies, "Broken Household Appliance" - Grandaddy, "Chemistry Class" - E. Costello, "Dirty Dream #2" - Belle & Sebastien, "Oceanbound" 764-HERO, "What's Your Take on Casavetes?" - Le Tigre
But the one made me hit repeat (I'm on my third time through) is...
"Down In The Tube Station at Midnight" by The Jam. What a great song; poignant well thought out lyrics, that tell a melodramatic story without ever getting maudlin, (well maybe just a little at the end). Great energy, nicely arranged, great bass line and drumming, fantastic, full-throated singing and even some nice back-up "oooohhhh ooohhhhs".
Great song, from a great album, by a great band. Here's a link to allmusic.coms review: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p...26&sql=X780022
