Garbage - "Vow" - Song fo the Day - [12-4-14]

Garbage has always been a great rock band that I get down to. They are in fact a super band destined to explode with an all-star lineup of players and producers. The band consists of Shirley Manson (vocals, keyboards, guitar) and Duke Erikson (bass, guitar, keyboards, percussion), Steve Marker (guitar, keyboards), and Butch Vig (drums, percussion). The whole band is involved in most facets of production for their albums. Some might recognize "Vow" from the old school MTV News theme. The self titled debut album Garbage sold over 4 million units, going double platinum in the United States as well as Australia and the United Kingdom. Go to the Official Garbage Website for more news on the band.

They Might Be Giants - "Don't Let's Start" - SOTD - (10/19/14)

They Might Be Giants have been around forever, and they have been making me laugh since I was a kid. Today there is a total of 16 studio albums from They Might Be Giants some of which are children's music and others that are goofy rock and polka jams. The band has a platinum album in Flood and several gold albums too. They Might Be Giants are probably the only band that plays polka music that I can say I rock out to. The thing that keeps me coming back is the humor in the music, they are both highly intelligent and hilarious.
