Song Of The Day

Manifest Destiny (pt. 1) – Rival Sons

If you have the privilege of saying you saw this band live then you will know exactly what I’m talking about when I say that Rival Sons is highly above average. This song in particular grabbed me with that epic guitar tone and took me right back to my dusty Oppikoppi experience. I remember just standing there, chin on the red dust, basking in the huge sound their guitars made and imagining Robert Plant re-incarnate on the stage. To be completely honest, even this great record doesn’t do Rival Sons justice compared to the live sound they smashed me with at Oppikoppi. Listen to the song right through. You wont regret it. 8 Rock ‘n Roll minutes well spent.

Sundown Syndrome – Tame Impala

Tame Impala is one of those bands you just cant play for people with a short attention span. Songs like these have nuances that are best appreciated on a solitary drive home or with eyes closed and headphones on. It’s a great way to shake all the doof-doof music out of my head.

Wade In The Water – Eva Cassidy

This song is an encouragement to those with second thoughts about anything. The water is what gets in the way of where you want to go but if you want to overcome those problems sometimes you have to wade in.

Here’s to a new week, folks. Good luck doing backstroke in your problems. “God’s gonna trouble the water”
