Song of the Day - March 3, 2006

Swearing at Motorists have released a brilliant album in Last Night Becomes This Morning. It is their first release since 2002's This Flag Signals Goodbye. This two man band from Dayton, OH have created what I believe is one of the best albums of 2006. The year is young, but this album excels in recreating the bleak world of a band on the road, never quite reaching the level of fame they deserve. There are echoes of Lou Reed, The Smiths, Kinks,and Thin Lizzy in their addictive music. It is almost impossible for me to pick a favorite track on their latest release. I love "Northern Line," Waterloo Crescent," "Still Life with Bottle Rockets," and "You Will Not Die Tonight (probably)." However, if forced I would pick "Timing is Everything," which has a great catchy chorus with the added benefit of horns. Click here to listen.
