Song of the Day - Told You So - Martin Garrix, Jex

I’ve been doing a lot of music listening lately and this uplifting and catchy tune from November of last year brings me joy. Check out Told You So…

Hump Day Song of the Day - I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho) - Pitbull

Here’s a Hump Day jam from back in the day. This is the song that put Pitbull on the map and it’s still as funky as it ever was. Enjoy!

Hump Day Song of the Day - Unholy - Sam Smith & Kim Petras

Since I’ve been posting Songs of the Day more regularly than I had been, I wanted to bring back Hump Day Song of the Day, featuring songs that are kind of down and dirty, so to speak. This hot one from Sam Smith and Kim Petras has got “dirty” written all over it. Check out Unholy…

Song of the Day - Use Me (Brutal Hearts) - Diplo, feat. Johnny Blue Skies (Sturgill Simpson) & Dove Cameron

I’ve been really catching up on new music recently, which sometimes includes songs that have already been around but not under my radar. Today’s selection is one of those tunes, making its debut about two years ago. Though country music has always been one of my least favorite genres of music, there have been a few songs over the past 10 years or so that married the genre with EDM and the world…

Song of the Day - No Rain, No Flowers - Black Keys (Diplo Remix)

I am primarily a dance music fan, but I do love some good old rock and roll once in awhile and The Black Keys are one of my favorite contemporary rock bands. Well they’ve got a new album coming out shortly and the title song is already a classic. Superstar deejay/producer Diplo worked his magic on what was already a great song and turned it into a hard thumping, badass dance jam. Sadly there is…

Song of the Day - The Ballad of Cleo & Joe - Cyndi Lauper

Pop music icon Cyndi Lauper is currently on her Farewell Tour and I sadly missed her local shows this past weekend, one at Jones Beach in Wantagh, NY and one here in Philadelphia. After seeing so many social media posts of the concerts, I found myself reliving her catalog of music and so I wanted to post a Song of the Day in her honor. This is one that’s not too well known, but it’s one of my all…

Song of the Day - Peanut Butter Jelly - Galantis

Heard this one last night and I remembered how fun the video was. Happy Saturday!

An Embarassing Moment and a Birthday Song of the Day for Chrissy - Together Again - Janet Jackson

Today would have been my sister Chrissy’s 48th birthday. I almost always post something for her on special days like these, and so this morning I looked back at past Song of the Day posts that I had dedicated to her. There were several songs that I had posted more than once, like ABBA’s Chiquitita, and P!nk’s Who Knew? Today I wanted to post something totally new and so I searched through my…

Song of the Day - Yes We Can - Boy George

I first heard this song in a bar in Costa Rica, of all places, just four years ago. Even though it first came out in 2008, it hadn’t come across my music listening path before then, but I was loving it. With a message of hope and optimism, the tune is just the kind of uplift we need these days. Unfortunately there is no video for the song, but still, it’s worth a listen, especially this 8-minute…

Father's Day Song of the Day - Forever Young - Rod Stewart

I don’t think I’ve ever posted a Rod Stewart song before, but for whatever reason this one came into my head when I thought of the day because I know that these would be the sentiments I would express to my child if I were a father. I also like to think that my own dad, even though he had a really hard time expressing himself, felt the same way about me and my siblings. I miss him a lot,…

Song of the Day - Break The Rules - Charli XCX

Good morning and Happy Saturday! It’s been a few days since I’ve posted a Song of the Day, but here’s a recent favorite from Charli XCX. The song was recorded in 2014, but somehow I discovered it over the winter and I immediately loved how catchy and rebelious it is. The singer says she regrets recording the song, but I’m glad she did. Here’s Break The Rules…

Song of the Day - Everyday People - Sly & The Family Stone

Yesterday we lost a musical legend who gave this world much more than any of us realize. Sylvester Stewart, more commonly known as “Sly” of Sly & The Family Stone, passed away yesterday after long battle with health problems. He was 82 years old. Because I was very young during their heyday, I never really delved much deeper into the band’s music, other than the their biggest hits, of which…

Song of the Day - Azizam - Ed Sheeran

No matter what Ed Sheeran does, he does it well, and this Persian-inspired jam is simply stellar! Check out Azizam…

Flashback Friday Song of the Day - The Fear - Lily Allen

This classic tune from Lily Allen’s 2009 sophomore album, It’s Not Me, It’s You, is a sarcastic take on a society heavily dependent on the false narratives and personas, easily promulgated through social media. In the sixteen years since the song was written, this state has most certainly become more the norm, and all the more scarier. You see, because when we worry too much about how others see…

Song of the Day - Anxiety - Doechii

I always love it when old tracks are reinvented into entirely new songs, and when their especially good, like this awesome pairing of Gotye and Kimbra’s Somebody That I Used To Know and Tik Tok sensation Doechii’s mad lyrics and rap style. The tune inspired a whole Tik Tok dance trend, which I am all here for, and besides, who can’t identify with a little anxiety in their lives? I know I sure…

Song of the Day - And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going - Jennifer Holliday

As promised in Friday’s Song of the Day, here is one of the most iconic songs from the Broadway musical Dreamgirls. The production I saw the other night at The Walnut Theater in Philadelphia was great, and it brought back lots of memories from when I first saw it in the early 80’s. I remembered most of the songs, and I particularly enjoyed all of them. Even though this Effie’s (played by Aveena…
