Like most everyone else, I have been occupying my time during this forced stationary survival segment, doing various things that I’ve done before, but wishing I could do more.
With WHFR only playing Classical music and with my show on hiatus, I don’t have too many options to present music in a way that I feel might have an impact.
I am continuing my weekly Faves lists for songs and albums, so that won’t be changing.
I ran across a musician posting about how he was examining the new meaning his song lyrics seemed to be telling him, as he was singing them under these new life circumstances. (If I could remember who it was, I would tell you.)
I found that interesting because I was having similar feelings with music that I was listening to.
Eventually, I got an idea: I could do a “song of the day!”
I want to emphasize mostly, relatively newer music. Just like on my Monday night show, “Prime Time Theme Attic.” (Monday nights 8PM-10PM ET when it returns. Here’s the link for when that day comes: http://rdo.fm/r/4qntu )
Therefore, I am happy to announce:
“The Most Awesomest Song of the Day!”
I don’t intend to say too much about the selections. Just a few short, sweet sentences.
I’m not even sure if I’ll do it everyday…but I might. I mean, I had an idea for an album review last week and I still haven’t gotten around to it.
But I can promise this: I will not force my selections. If something doesn’t hit me, I won’t post one.
Everything I do has always been about shining a spotlight on the artist and their music.
Now I will have the potential to shine 365 spotlights if I want to!

How about some Friday Music Fun?
Today’s song has been on my player for a few months. It’s also another example of why I started this category!
There’s about three thousand songs on the player right now, so I’ve only heard it a few times. It hadn’t caught my attention yet.
But it sure did today!
As I’m listening to the song and it’s exploding in my brain, I’m thinking, “This is GREAT! This is AWESOME! This is like the greatest song The Who never released!!!”
And then, when I go to see if it’s on youtube, I find that not only is the song there, but there’s a really sweet video for the song!
The video is a homage not only to Mods and Rockers and Radio Caroline, but also The Who!
Hey, I might be late to the party. It wouldn’t be the first time and it won’t be the last.
But I’m not too late to name “True True True” by The Forty Nineteens
“The Most Awesomest Song of the Day!!!”
