For the record I don't think the phrase OPE! hasn't really been an actual thing until the last few years people just act as if they've done it forever like Elf on a shelf or gender reveal parties there's some weird group think mentality that is forcing a fake sense of nostalgia on something that never really was a thing and it's especially a thing here in the Midwest considering we don't have much to get hype about when the thing most often coming from here are basic white folk and racist pieces of shit which I know someone out there is asking what's the difference to which i respond....uh....
SO one year ago today I announced the end of Song of the Day and in one years time things honestly didn't change in terms of the worlds impact at the leaving of my blog life went on and a lot of local acts I covered broke up, went into hiding, or just kind of been stalled out with a couple deciding to really hit the grind and as for the national music scene....it's a thing but this isn't really about all of that instead we have a case of what am I gonna do with this project.
I am starting to think that the hosting site for this has deleted some of the post I've made on here without warning due to something likely covered in the fine print that I didn't notice which is kind of shitty but when you don't post on here for around a year you kind of can't complain too much but with that in mind I'm just posting on here to say that while I'm here and I've made a post I can't one hundred percent say that Song of the Day is completely back because I still need to redefine what I am writing about and I'd kind of prefer this thing move onto a more creator controlled medium with possibly a group of people to help with the load which would mean leaving this medium and moving onto another platform but that's kind of dependent on a host of factors that need an effort to be made to actually do something.
Those things are irrelevant right now because it's Christmas eve and I got shit to do so I just wanted all of you to know there's gonna be one kind of lost in the shuffle post I was going to put on the year end list but it couldn't be included because a top 5 made more logistical sense in the week structure I use on here and the song covered came out in some mystery point in 2018 so yeah that's a thing but with that in mind happy holiday's, stay tuned for that post a little later today, and see ya'll next year when I try to go through a back catalog of cool songs you need to hear.

Don't Call it a comeback.....
Life has a weird way of making you have to reassess it all whenever you decide to quit things and that's where I am with this whole writing thing. I basically had a host of anxiety and depression lead me to have to end a thing I was doing because the lack of proper fulfillment was a real son of a bitch and a half that's for sure and after being such a narcissist that had to end his personal project in a the most self fulfilling way that was throwing a show completely on my own dime with enough people awkwardly patting me on the back for what I kind of wasn't sure was really all that special I was kind of left in an awkward state of being relieved that I wasn't trying to write something substantial anymore but at the same time crushed in the knowledge that I had completely lost a personal connection to listening to music or going to shows so much so to a point that I may have grown to personally detest going out and listening to live music in general.
I have nothing to really add to the discourse and nobody around me has any essence of an idea of what I am trying to express in this passion of listening so many individuals are just overly dismissive or numbed to a point of just making a meme out of it all that I don't honestly see a fucking point to even trying to do this thing anymore that's kind of why I just ended up taking my ball and fucking going home there was no reason for me to even put an effort in anymore.
The thing about life is that it goes on and even if I'm not covering things there's places and people who are doing things there's local podcast doing their thing to expose local acts who are putting out great stuff and there's plenty of online critics gaining headway in some capacity and I get this feeling the sonic landscape has changed....the only thing that doesn't change is every dickhead that want's to tell me that it's alright to like what you like because we all have different taste to which I say with the most gleeful expressiveness I can conjure up to shut the fuck up, let people who know some iota of what they're talking about do the discussions, or at the very fucking least provide an interesting point that's not you just being an internet troll otherwise I kind of don't really care to deal with those things in my life I'm getting on in years and I already deal with my fair share of dumb non-intellectually stimulating discussions on the daily.
Unlike politics entertainment has a certain aspect to it where you can disagree and argue but you're not actively putting the lives of millions at risk for thinking some band/film/video game/ect. Are good, great, shit, or trash you're just simply expressing some level of passionate discourse that helps provide some sense of purpose in giving a flying fuck all about these things and a the end of the day we all need some sense of worth and validation otherwise we're just shell's walking on by listening to fluff.
I don't have anything to achieve anymore so fuck it let's just say something ya bunch of fucking assholes strap on in and give me something to talk about otherwise it's not like I ain't use to nobody paying attention to me anyways.
Mark your calendars Monday December 16th 2019 I got some stuff to cover more specifically the best of this quiet year.

New Year New Format
What is up world it is me Sam of Sam's Song of the day here to give all of you the much anticipated update post for this humble little blog of mine.
As the years go by I find myself progressively posting less and less on here which I've complained about that for the past 2 years and constantly say I'm going to fix that and you know I'm not really concerned with that hardly any more because I realized after last year that while there's a shit load of things I need to cover I would rather present to you the reader a quality piece rather than a rushed together series of 150 words about some random ass song that I may eventually cringe over years later and after rereading all of my year end list and realizing that this year's series of post had a good bit more substance in terms of word count and were of a more personal nature I figured I'd take a different path when it came to posting for this little website of mine.
SO with that in mind I'd like to announce today that Sam's Song of the Day it'll still have Song of the Day's those are a thing but like last year they'll be rare and only when I really feel the need to thoroughly describe something and speaking of things to describe the KC showcase it's still going to be a thing and if you go to the Facebook Page you can message me your band or bands in the area you think I should cover and given enough time and interest I'll make sure to write something.
On top of the usual post where in I talk about musical acts or songs I also plan on trying to use Sam's Song of The Day to kind of keep track of the large number of shows I'll hopefully attend this year so expect the occasional kind of terribly photographed series of show covers that I plan on starting most likely next week depending on the weather which in all honesty I'll only be doing so much planning ahead in terms of what shows I'll attend only because Murphy's law is a thing and it's a bitch when you plan something and everything goes wrong.
Yeah Sam's Song of the Day is my pet project and I earn no money from this but if I had one goal it's to basically support my community and let people know what's worth listening to and while I understand I have a few years to REALLY decide to do something big or pack my bags and leave the domain of online public writing I can attest that last year I followed the guidelines I'd said in the year priors post about how I wanted to become more involved in the community and to a degree I did which was fucking awesome and I plan on continuing that with this little blog of mine so here's to more post about show's and the bands that make them up but until then here's a song I've had stuck in my head for a minute.
