S.O.D. "Blooming 18" by Ace of Base
6/26/2022 From the 1995 album “The Bridge,” which charted very well internationally. Sounds like the song actually takes place in the 80s, with teenage rebellion shining through. The Swedish group has been active since 1987, and is mostly family.

S.O.D. "The Taco Song (Guacamole)" by John Noir Smith

S.O.D. "No. 1 Party Anthem

S.O.D. "Lowlands" by Tall Dwarfs
6/18/2022 Experimental music is one of this duo’s genres. Does any other really matter? Both members play guitar, bass, and organ. Much of the percussion in their songs is the result of banging on household objects. Crazy and cool
S.O.D. "Pale Green Ghosts" by John Grant
6/17/2022 From the 2013 album of the same name. The title of the album and song have to do with Grant’s hometown of Parker, Colorado, where Russian olive trees can be seen along the side of I-25.
S.O.D. "Off to Sea Once More" by David Grisman and Jerry Garcia
6/16/2022 A traditional Sea Shanty dating back to 1896 in a London newspaper. This is where the first few lines were written. Many versions have been made, and often the story is set in San Francisco. It is mainly having to do with the time a sailor spends on land and the boarding masters that provide them a place to stay. Much of which was not very pretty.
S.O.D. "Floating" by Mac Miller
6/15/2022 Another very short life due to drugs. Malcolm James McCormick certainly made the most of the time he had. Born in Pittsburgh and died in Los Angeles, a common resting place for many musicians. He was a songwriter, singer, rapper, and record producer. Turns out he was also a decent actor, securing roles in TV and film.
