Song Of The Day: Jonah Ray – Amish Paradise

Posted on July 24, 2019 by Paul in Song of the Day | Leave a comment

Long before I became obsessive about music, I was obsessed with comedy. I still am, but as a kid, comedy was pretty much my rock n’ roll and of course, the songs of “Weird Al” Yankovic were a big part of all that.

It seems Weird Al had a big influence on Jonah Ray as well, with the comedian set to release You Can’t Call Me Al, a 5 song tribute to the master of pop parodies wherein he takes Yankovic’s lyrics and sets them to new pop-punk style arrangements that take them in a much different direction than the original recordings.

You Can’t Call Me Al is out on August 16 on Asian Man Records. Check out the video for “Amish Paradise” below:

Hey, did you hear about The Raptors? They won last week. It’s kind of a big deal – they’re having a parade and everything. Yeah, you probably heard. Anyways, in honour of today’s parade, here’s a song by a band with the word ‘parade’ in their name.

The Lonely Parade are a Montreal-based trio originally out of Peterborough. They may or may not be Raptors fans. They released their second full length The Pits in September of last year via Buzz Records and “Index Finger” is the latest single off of that album. Check it out below:

Song Of The Day: Julia Shapiro – Shape

In the video for “Shape”, the latest single off of her upcoming solo debut Perfect Vision, Chastity Belt singer/guitarist Julia Shapiro has chosen an appropriate setting, filming the video in the Australian outback.

The video reflects the mood of the song quite nicely, as scenes of the seemingly endless landscape match up perfectly with the hazy, dreamy quality of the music. Check it out below.

Perfect Vision is out June 14 on Hardly Art Records.

Song Of The Day: Alex Lahey – Don’t Be So Hard On Yourself

Posted on May 20, 2019 by Paul in Song of the Day | Leave a comment

Alex Lahey’s 2017 album I Love You Like A Brother was one of the stronger debut albums of the last couple of years, with songs like “Every Day’s the Weekend”, “Perth Traumatic Stress Disorder” and “I Haven’t Been Taking Care of Myself” grabbing the listener immediately with their poppy, punky tales of relationships and general ennui.

And now Lahey’s back with sophomore album The Best of Luck Club and it is indeed a worthy successor to her debut. Lead single “Don’t Be So Hard On Yourself” builds on Lahey’s standard sound by adding a sweet, sweet saxophone solo to top it all off. Check it out below:
