Song of the Day: Red Hot Chili Peppers - Suck My Kiss

     Yesterday's Song of the Day about Blur has given me an idea: impromptu theme week!

     Can you guess the theme? No, it's not Britpop Week. Nope, not Damon Albarn week either. Give up? OK, it's 90's Week! A week of kick-ass songs from my youth, and maybe yours as well. There's going to be some nostalgia here, sure, but I'm also aiming to pick songs that have stood the proverbial (read: cliche?) test of time, songs that I still dig today.

     So for day two of this journey through the ages we're funkifying things with "Suck My Kiss" from the absolute classic Chili Peppers album Blood Sugar Sex Magik. Lay back and accept the sweet, sweet funking.

Song of the Day: Sam Roberts Band - Let It In

     Today's song might not be very metal, but it's a cool song and it's been stuck in my head all evening -- not for the first time either. Hopefully by sharing it with you I can exorcise it from my

     Your song today is "Let It In" from the 2011 album Collider by the Sam Roberts Band. For me, it's the perfect little slice of poppy rock: it's super catchy, it's got some cool melodies, it's got some interesting lyrical turns of phrase, and it's even just a shade weird. It is, in the words of those funkiest of monks the Red Hot Chili Peppers, a pretty little ditty.

     So now it's in your heard, which hopefully means it's out of mine. Good luck with it!
