“Shoebox” by Barenaked Ladies – Song of the Week

Posted November 4, 2009 by Rizzo

This week’s song is one of the lesser known hits from a very well known band. That band being Barenaked Ladies which have sold over 5 million records in the US and have charted a number one hit in 1998 with “One Week.” “Shoebox,” released in 1995, is the first single off of their third studio album, Born on a Pirate Ship, which also features one of their most popular hits, “Old Apartment.”

“Corduroy” by Pearl Jam – Song of the Week

Posted October 27, 2009 by Rizzo

This next song was picked in part due to the fact that I heard Pearl Jam’s newest single, “Just Breathe“, which is their first single in a while where I stopped and thought, “Hey, this is pretty good.” It’s definetly different, and kinda has a country vibe to it, but very enjoyable nonetheless.

Posted March 31, 2009 by Rizzo

For this week’s song, I thought I would highlight a great song that truly is 90′s music at its finest. Although The Smashing Pumpkins were an alternative rock radio staple in the mid ’90s, they only reached #1 once on Billboard’s Modern and Mainstream rock charts. They did so in 1996 with “1979″ off of their third studio album, a 2 disc release, entitled Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.
