Posted on by Paul in Song of the Day | Leave a comment

Today’s selection is a cover of a ’70s Canadian rock staple covered by a group of Canuck musicians who made their names in the ’80s and ’90s – Moe Berg (TPOH), Stephen Page (ex-BNL), Craig Northey (Odds), and Chris Murphy (Sloan), aka The Trans-Canada Highwaymen.

For their upcoming release, Explosive Hits Vol. 1, the band takes a break from their usual M.O. of playing the hits from their own catalogues and takes on some CanCon classics of the late ’60s and early ’70s. “Pretty Lady” is one such tune, originally recorded by Lighthouse back in 1973. Check it out.

Song of the Day: Midlake & John Grant – You Don’t Get To

Posted on by Paul in Song of the Day | Leave a comment

2010’s Queen of Denmark is all the proof one needs that the combined efforts of John Grant and Midlake will produce stellar results. Fans of that album will be happy to hear that they’ve teamed up once again for the release of a double A-sided single featuring brand new tracks “Roadrunner Blues” and “You Don’t Get To.”

Both tracks are great, but “You Don’t Get To” stands out for its surprise shift into some proggy keyboard jams in its latter half (and also for Grant’s inimitable delivery of the line, “Would you like to strangle everyone you know with their own intestines?”). Check it out below.
