“On The Mountain” comes from his 2001 release, Last Of My Kind.

I heard his music just last week, and I have been digging it since. Listening to this album is relaxing. It just makes you feel good.

You may have already heard of The Cribs, as their single “I’m A Realist” has been getting some airplay. Today’s song of the day is another song of theirs: “Men’s Needs (CSS Remix).” Yes, its a remix. It has been floating around the internet, and I think it is quite good.

And now for something mildly different…

I found this band on download dot com. There are so many things I like about this song. The handclaps. The organ coming out of the right channel. Percussive stuff on the left. That funky guitar toward the end.

I love listening to local bands. We have so many great local bands here in Tulsa, Ok.

For today’s SOTD, I’d like to share with you one of my favorite local bands.

Make sure you support your local music, wherever you live. Some of it isn’t crappy.

SOTD – Weds, April 2nd

I recently aquired Shakira’s discography, and I have been loving it. She is so gorgeous. This is one of my favorite songs of hers.

I hope that you spend the rest of this day in a constant state of jollification.

Maybe this song will help you do just that. I know it always cheers me up.
