So since I now have today off I figure I now have the time to come up with a song of the day.......well....uhm.....ok I got nothing people but there is a thought that came to mind today while I was doing my driving and listening to Americana by the Offspring and it's how I find it interesting how the song The Kids Aren't Alright has been the most or one of the most played songs by them even after You're Gonna Go Far Kid has managed to get so many rotations this dark little number about wasted youth going to bad places has managed to still remain one of their most familiar.
Now with that in mind I'm curious why do you guy's think that is? What's your opinion on this song? Just comment below or on the Facebook Page and tell me what you think but until then enjoy your weekend people...

Song of the Day 10/14/14
I was at a thrift store a couple of day's ago and I came across a copy of Americana by the Offspring for $2 so I decided to pick it up because I've been listening to quite a bit of them for the past few day's and thought why the hell not and upon giving the album a full listen I realized it's really freaking good and amongst many decent tunes one that stuck out was, "She's Got Issues."
It's kind of like a retelling of Self Esteem in that it's some twisted relationship tune about some crazy chick who has more problems then I think Holland and company really care to deal with and it's cheeky sensibilities and what not are fairly typical when you look at most of their output at that time but it's still a fun and charming song none-the-less that probably strikes closer to home for most of us then we'd care to admit, also it's video has a young Zooey Deschanel which is quite funny to watch....

Song of the Day 9/23/14
Man I've had the longest week in a while people and I honestly just kind of seem to not really know what to do these day's so last night I found myself working on this story I've been writing for a few years now and listening to The Offsprings and for some reason found this 2000 cut to just hit the fucking spot.
Want You Bad it's from Conspiracy of One which was awkward because it had to follow up Americana and that shows in that not too many songs from it are really remembered but there's a charming quality to this tune because while it's a very fast paced punk rocker that we all have come to expect from these guy's it's also quite a cheesy little bit of romance with subtle bits of offsprings themed humor and desire for Hollands partner to be a bit of a dominatrix to him.
It's a fun tune people and for some reason or another I've enjoyed it more than most of the things going on in my life so fuck it let's actually post about it considering I've seemed to of been hitting a bump when it comes to these things....
