Some songs are forever changed by the movies that they appear in. For instance, one can't help but feel the pain and helplessness of the police torture scene in the film "Reservoir Dogs" when listening to the Stealers Wheel hit "Stuck In The Middle With You." Roy Orbison's rather innocuous "In Dreams" also took on a more sinister tone when it was used by David Lynch in the film … [Read more...] about Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “In Dreams” by Roy Orbison

Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress” by The Hollies
By the time this song had hit the charts in 1972, The Hollies were already on their second career having survived the setback of having two key members leaving the group.

Don't get me wrong, I love what he's been doing since "Small Change" when his voice got super gruff and "Swordfishtrombones" when he began working with his wife Kathleen Brennan and augmented his … [Read more...] about Song Of The Day – “Please Call Me, Baby” by Tom Waits
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “We Will Commit Wolf Murder” by of Montreal
of Montreal formed in 1996 around key member Kevin Barnes and was part of the Elephant 6 collective that gave us the bands Apples In Stereo, Olivia Tremor Control, Beulah and Neutral Milk Hotel. Their sound is a little bit Prince, a little bit Bowie, some Queen, a heaping helping of prog rock and an ample dose of acid to add a dash of color to the mix. Their psychedelic album … [Read more...] about Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “We Will Commit Wolf Murder” by of Montreal
