Thursday, October 27, 2011: King Curtis - Memphis Soul Stew (Live at Fillmore West)



It's getting chilly out there

What say we warm ourselves up with some piping hot stew?

Delicious.

This is, hands down, one of the greatest live recordings you are ever going to hear. Fact.

Wednesday, October 26, 2011: City Reign - Making Plans



Here's another band that I've featured before on CSOTD, and I'm more than happy to post them up again.

City Reign are a crackin' British band, and this is off their brand new album Numbers For Street Names.

You can even download yourself a copy HERE via their website.

I highly suggest you do so, I like these guys a lot.

Enjoy

Tuesday, October 25, 2011: The Zombies - She's Not There




We can only hope the Zombie Apocalypse comes soon.

But, until is does, at least we have some real Zombies to keep us company

And sing us some very cool tunes

Monday, October 24, 2011: Jimmy Cliff - The Harder They Come



For me, Monday songs are all about getting ready for the week, trying to find your center, sharpen your skills, keep your eyes on the prize.

And try to keep your spirit uplifted.

And there is no music on Earth that can uplift a persons spirit better than Reggae.

And there are few artists who can uplift a persons spirit better than Mr Jimmy Cliff.

So, when you are staring down a weeks worth of problems, when they think they are going to get you down this week, just remember

The Harder They Come, The Harder They Fall.

That is all.

CSOTD Bonus Edition: Nitin Sawhney - Mausam



Sorry, everyone, but I really just couldn't resist posting this song from the amazing Nitin Sawhney as well.

This often happens when I'm doing my extensive research for CSOTD - some days I have to make tough decisions and choose one song over another.

But then, some days, I don't need to decide.

Today is definitely one of those days.

Enjoy.

Saturday, October 22, 2011: Nitin Sawhney - Distant Dreams (featuring Roxanne Tataei)
