Song of the Day for Friday

 Going back to 81 for this Billy Squier tune.  Lonely is the Night.  I went with the live version.  Remember this LP driving around in Vranek S's T-Top Firebird or Rick R's Shyt Box (RIP brother) with the sound loud wearing some too tight Jordaches or Sergios.   If you are Canadian and  making any amazon.ca purchase please click on my links below first as I will get a small commission on anything you buy even if it is something else.   Thanks.

 I saw The Godfathers perform Birth, School, Work, Death back in the late 80s at St. Andrew's Hall in Detroit.  It was a really good show.  Seeing that I have done 3 of the 4 items in the title of the song I am trying to avoid the fourth for a bit.  Yesterday's artist Local H covered this song in 2003.  If you are Canadian and making any amazon.ca purchase please click on my links below first as I will get a small commission on anything you buy.   Thanks.

 Here is an under rated Canadian band.  Back story is that I spent an hour drinking with the boys from  Tsawwassen BC 54-40 before they went on stage at the student pub watching the Stanley Cup finals back in the late 80s.  They were going to go on stage and I was like dudes their is still like 15 minutes of game left, have another beer and everyone can wait.  So they did.  Anyways I picked One Day.  If you have not heard of them they have several really good songs.  If you are Canadian and making any amazon.ca purchase please click on my links below first as I will get a small commission on anything you buy.   Thanks.

 Surrender by Cheap trick is an all time teenage anthem.  With the Olympics in Tokyo I was reminded of the live album Cheap Trick at Budokan.  So two days in a row with late 70s  songs.  The reason I picked this is that I heard on my run last week The Dirty Nil's version (from Hamilton Ontario 2018) which is outstanding.  I have included both below for your listening pleasure.  If you are Canadian and making any amazon.ca purchases please click on my link below  the video which will take you to amazon.ca.  Thanks.

 Most of you may not of heard of the band The Vibrators but their first album Pure Mania is one of the best punk rock albums from back in the day.  The song Disco in Moscow came out in 1980 and still gets some play in some clubs and college radio stations.  The video below is not an official video but it is pretty funny as it could almost be.   If you are Canadian and making any amazon.ca purchases please click on my link below  the video which will take you to amazon.ca.  Thanks.

 I heard this Industrial classic by Front 242 while I was running on Wednesday and said to myself oh what a perfect song for Sunday.  It came out in 88 when I was in grad school and I remember dancing at Gracelands on Richards Street in Vancouver to this.  I was a whack job lol.  Anyways Welcome To Paradise is a great song and not to be confused with Greenday's song.  Heck this isn't even Front 242's  best song.  Enjoy.  Oh by the way there is a great live version on youtube but it can't be embedded here so if you want to watch that version click here.  If you are Canadian and making any amazon.ca purchases please click on my link below  the video which will take you to amazon.ca.  Thanks.
