In honor of SOS turning three, and the holidays, we made you a present

Track Of The Day: ‘A Real Hero’ by College featuring Electric Youth
Today’s track of the day was recently featured in the soundtrack for the motion picture Drive, and taken from David Grellier’s synth-driven project College, a five track episode into 80′s nostalgia – which in itself, plays like a pseudo-soundtrack. “A … [Read the Rest]
Track of the Day: ‘No Sad Tomorrow’ is pure hip hop gold
I’ll be honest. I don’t know much about the UK rap group, Big Rob & BLUNT! I came across the following track while listening to some un underground college UK Radio station. What I do know is that they have … [Read the Rest]
Track Of The Day: “Glitter In Their Eyes”
Who doesn’t love Patti Smith? The American singer-songwriter, poet and visual artist became a highly influential component of the New York City punk rock movement in the 70′s. Smith ranks among the most influential female rock & rollers of all … [Read the Rest]

Track Of The Day: Chromatics – ‘Running Up That Hill’

Track Of The Day: ‘Innocent Bones’
I guess you can say I’m in a mellow mood today. Honestly, things have been chaotic for us over at Sound On Sight and September will only get worse as we are covering four more festivals. So I will make … [Read the Rest]
Track of the Day: Electrelane, ‘The Valleys’

Track of the Day: ‘Don’t Gotta Work it Out’ by Fitz & the Tantrums
I have had “Don’t Gotta Work it Out” by Fitz & the Tantrums stuck in my head for the entire day. Today’s pick is an odd and indelible combination of soul mixed with punk-pop. Based out of Los Angeles, their … [Read the Rest]
Track of the Day: Balam Acab, ‘Oh, Why’
Yes, their/his music (it’s sort of hard to tell for sure at this juncture) been bracketed into the uncomfortably meme-y category of “witch house,” but Balam Acab’s excellent first LP Wonder / Wander isn’t so easily pigeonholed. There’s a sense … [Read the Rest]
