This week’s song is just over fifteen years old but it wasn’t until about two years ago that I heard it for the first time. “Bittersweet” by Big Head Todd and the Monsters, released in 1993, was a song that I first heard live in concert during the summer of 2006. It wasn’t a Big Head Todd concert per say but they were the opening act (Collective Soul and Live were the main acts) and I had the pleasure of hearing this song. Overall they did a pretty good job with their set but it was “Bittersweet” that really caught my attention. Sitting on the grass at DTE Energy Music Theatre enjoying “Bittersweet”, I had no idea that it was in fact their second most popular song to date (“Broken Hearted Savior” being their most popular). Obviously I was not alone in my admiration for this great song and for good reason. It is very different then most of the songs that are being played on the radio today and if you would like a break from some of that music, I strongly you check out this song for a breath of fresh air.

Lately I have been listening to a lot of music, most of which I never heard before. A lot of it has been from some of my favorite artists, but some have just been random songs that I have come across. I have been going through some old albums as well as some new ones and I decided to make a new playlist with some of my new favorites.
I would just like to make a note of Dishwalla, a band that I recently rediscovered and started to listen to them extensively. Know most for their classic radio hit, “Counting Blue Cars”, they are a band that is much deeper then their one hit wonder status. If you happen to like “Coral Sky”, which is in this playlist, I suggest you check out more of their latest album, which is self-titled. Some of my favorites from that album are “Above The Wreckage”, “Collide” and “40 Stories”. If your more of a fan of their older music you should definitely check out their Live… Greetings From The Flow State album. Well, that’s it for this week. Hope you enjoyed it.
