I had my iPod at the New Year's Eve party I attended this evening and at one point we played the XTC album "Black Sea." Now I was fortunate to see them on tour in 1980 behind that album and little did I know at the time that it would be their last tour ever due to Andy Partridge’s stage fright. While spinning "Black Sea" at the party we decided that this song from the 1979 … [Read more...] about Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – "Making Plans For Nigel" by XTC

Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – "Unrequited Love" by Lykke Li
Song Of The Day - "Unrequited Love" by Lykke Li It's a little bit 1950s Doo Wop ballad...a little bit early '60s girl group...and a whole lot up-to-the-minute 2011 indie pop.

The only thing F*&#d Up about this record is that I only heard it for the first time last week and as a result it did not make my Top Albums List Of 2011...and it is certainly good enough to be on the list. This Canadian Punk band has been around since 2001 releasing a slew of singles and 12 inchers, but had its big breakthrough this year with their third full length album … [Read more...] about Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – "The Other Shoe" by F*&#d Up
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – "The Jean Genie" by David Bowie
Here's the long lost Top Of the Pops live clip recorded on January 3, 1973 featuring Bowie and the Spiders From Mars. The clip was said to be lost and recently rediscovered. It received its first broadcast in England since it originally aired back in 1973 on December 21, 2011. Glam rock never sounded so bluesy with Bowie on the harp. I love it when he starts to blow some … [Read more...] about Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – "The Jean Genie" by David Bowie
