Song of the Day: Ozzy Osbourne - Crazy Train

It's been a long week, and I think I've stepped aboard Ozzy's train.

Song of the Day: The Cardigans - Carnival

This Swedish band was a one-hit wonder in the U.S., but I was fortunate to see them live before that one hit actually hit. I still really enjoy listening to Life and First Band on the Moon, and they were a very competent live band (I realize that may sound like an insult, but I don't intend it to be). I've heard that their subsequent LP has become something of a cult album, and according to allmusic.com, they've even released a few since then. Hearing this song, the first from Life (and not the hit), makes me wonder whether I want to seek out more. But I think I'll just stick with these two, each of which also include a Black Sabbath cover (yup).

Song of the Day: Black Sabbath - Fairies Wear Boots

It's Friday, which can only mean one thing - it's time to rock! Who's with me?!?!?!?!?!?!

No one?  OK.  Well, today I felt like playing some Sabbath.  Not sure why, but they've been on the brain lately, and when I was in Amoeba this past weekend, I somehow walked out having purchased copies of Master of Reality and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath on vinyl.  This was not a planned purchase, but it was a necessary one.

However, I'm not going to play a song from either of those; instead, I'm going with the album I already had - their best known (and probably best), Paranoid.  While the title song and "Iron Man" are classic rock radio staples, I'm going with a "deep cut" for today - "Fairies Wear Boots."  I believe this warrants a \m/

(I had to google how to do that. Don't judge)
