The song that made my day 2023.01.16:
Margo Price - "Time Machine"
Alt-country rising star Price with a slice of psilocybin-and-'70s-pop Americana about regret. Someone get this woman a TARDIS, stat!
What song(s) made your day today?
I believe if Biden broke the law, there should be consequences.
I know T***pers believe the same thing--about Biden, who immediately, voluntarily cooperated with the investigation into the documents. But do they believe the same thing about T***p, who threw every excuse, deflection and outright lie he could think of against the wall to see which ones had the best chance of helping him escape accountability for his crimes (which he's confessed to multiple times in the process)? Spoiler: nope.
The song that made my day 2023.01.15:
Billy Nomates - "Balance Is Gone"
An upbeat little tune that hurtles along on a growling bassline, decorated by a rotating cast of pleasantly surprising synthpop flourishes that drop in for a bit, disappear, and sometimes return. Especially tasty are the synth/guitar solo and the spot when the drummer goes from hitting every beat equally to emphasizing the 2 and the 4.

The song that made my day 2023.01.14:
Belle and Sebastian - "A Bit of Previous"
I played their album "If You're Feeling Sinister" so many times that my partner, who initially liked it, soured on the band. But I still listen, and this one gave me a proper rush. It's got everything I love about them: jangly indie pop sound, literate, vulnerable lyrics, slightly twee but with a touch of darkness to balance it.

@Museek Hell cat sounds pretty badass to me.
The song that made my day 2023.01.12:
Herbie Hancock - "Hardrock"
I picture Herbie in the recording studio immediately after nailing the master take of "Rockit" looking up and saying, "That was great, everyone. Now let's try it again, but this time, make it more METAL!"
Jeff Beck's tenure with The Yardbirds lasted barely 20 months but it produced an astonishing string of singles that rapidly upped the ante for psychedelic rock, largely due to the explosive sounds Beck blasted out of his guitar:
"Heart Full of Soul"
"Evil Hearted You"/"Still I'm Sad"
"Shapes of Things"/"You're A Better Man Than I"
"Over Under Sideways Down"
"Happenings Ten Years Time Ago"/"Psycho Daisies"
His legacy was massive even before he began his long and amazing solo career. RIP.
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN Those are both good ones; they've each made a few of my days over the years!

The New Pornographers - "Really Really Light"
Vancouver indie power pop group The New Pornographers had me at "Mass Romantic" in 2000. 23 years later they've still got me with this new track, a quieter, more nuanced pop snack wrapped around the rapture-inducing vocal harmonies of A.C. Newman, Kathryn Calder and Neko Case. What song(s) made your day today? #music #CoSoMusic

Stepz feat Fizzler - "Pacman"
Welds samples from the classic video game to a drill 'n' bass-heavy backing track that calls back to grime, a subgenre of U.K. rap from early in the millennium. I'll admit to not understanding much of the slang, but I think it's making a serious statement on racism in a humorous way. What song made your day today? #music #CoSoMusic

Iggy Pop - "Strung Out Johnny"
Iggy sings a poignant junkie's tale (is this about Johnny Thunders?) in his low voice, with a menacing bass riff to boost the drama. Another late-career winner for the Popper.

Liberals and progressives value democracy even though we don't win every election and don't always get our way. Fascism is for supporters of sore losers like Donald Trump and Jair Bolsonaro, both coincidentally(?) currently taking refuge in Ron DeSantis's Florida. #politics

The song that made my day 2023.01.06:
Sessa - "Ponta de Faca"
Builds hypnotically using a simple repeating guitar figure and deadened bass strings, with gentle touches of flute that make the track somehow simultaneously lush and spare and lyrics practically whispered in Portuguese. #music #CoSoMusic
The Song That Made My Day 2023.01.04
The Casual Dots - "The Frequency of Fear"
Washington D.C. indie rock supergroup who made their debut album in 2004, then waited 18 years to release a follow-up. This gem leads it off, sounding less like American indie than something you'd hear on a Kiwipop classic from The Clean or The Bats. #music #CoSoMusic
