Considering my general taste in music, people find it surprising when they find me talking about Kylie Minogue et al. All I can say is that music is music. I don't particularly give a fuck about which genre an artist is in or if it is socially acceptable for a metal/whatever fan to listen to pop, dance etc.

Today's Song Of The Day is a classic rock ballad by the Scorpions - Still Loving You. I'm a sucker for most songs with piercing guitars and lots of reverb - they just seize your undivided attention. Coupled with Meine's unreachable vocals, Scorpions ballads are to die for. Still loving you is a classic example of this formula.

Today's Song Of The Day is Tin Pan Alley by Robert Plant and the Strange Sensation off their fantastic sophomore album Mighty Rearranger.

Today's song of the day is the title track from Philip Glass' seminal soundtrack for the movie Koyaanisqatsi. It is a wonderfully powerful song and like most great musical pieces, paints a vivid picture in my mind accompanied by a strong emotion en mi corazon. For moi, I usually feel an emotion of change and ... climactic anticipation.

Today's song of the day is an instrumental titled Bravest Face by Rush off their new album Snakes & Arrows. This is one of the first songs I enjoyed off the album (which has been steadily growing on me btw) - very catchy, especially the verse. I am by far not a fan of Geddy Lee. However, his vocals (with its sharp yet harmonious, albeit nasal twang) are perfect for certain songs, and this is one of them.

And already, I've been tardy with my SotD entries.. just goes to show that I _do_ have a life (so there!).

The song of the day is Megadeth's Amerikhastan, from their new album United Abominations which has been leaked on the Internet, weeks prior to official release. The album is on the whole rather disappointing, but there are a few highlights and Amerikhastan is one of them.

Somebody very dear to me informed me today that I have no life whatsoever. I am going to prove her right by making one rather pointless post on a daily basis (or I suppose whenever possible), informing the hoi polloi that comprise the audience of this blog of the song that has captured the attention of my picky ears. My listening habits are such that I frequently skip tracks until I find one that suits my mood and repeat it over and over again.
