Song Of The Day by Eric Berman - "Swingin' Dem Jingle Bells" by Fats Waller What more could you ask for on Christmas than this rambunctious reading of “Jingle Bells” from 1936 by the larger than life pianist extraordinaire Fats Waller.

Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – "The Other Shoe" by F*&#d Up
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 – "Trees" by Isham Jones & His Orchestra
I first came into contact with this song in a rendition by Alfalfa on "The Little Rascals." This version hails from 1930 by the Chicago sweet band led by Isham Jones. Jones was a cold taskmaster of a bandleader which is kind of at odds with the sweet music he made with his group. At one time or another, Jones' orchestra featured such greats as Woody Herman and Benny Goodman. … [Read more...] about Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – "Trees" by Isham Jones & His Orchestra
