Track of the Day - 7/9/10

About Track of the Day: On a roughly daily basis, I'll be posting a link to a song. These will usually be songs that I like from things I'm not reviewing, or newly released singles, or great songs from olden times, or just whatever I feel like at the moment. They don't get a grade - I'm not looking to critique their lyrics or philosophize about their lasting impact on our culture - I'm just pointing my finger dumbly and saying, "Hey, check this out." Also: each song will have some connection to the previous day's song, and there are fabulous prizes (well, somewhere there are - I don't personally have any) for the first person to correctly guess the link.

"All To All" - Broken Social Scene
Listen Here

Off of their recent album, Forgiveness Rock Record, "All To All" is a fun little synth-y track from Broken Social Scene that rolls along dreamily with nice female vocal accompaniment. While I've never liked Broken Social Scene as much as their critical acclaim would suggest I should, there have always been a few tracks on their albums that I've enjoyed - and this is one of em! Take it for a spin!

Previous day's connection: Both The Velvet Underground and The New Pornographers have incorporated people named Nico/Neko into their work. Yeah, maybe a little bit of a stretch, but I'm counting it especially because Neko Case is only an occasional touring member of The New Pornographers, just as Nico was only present on The Velvet Underground's debut. Let's just move on to the next one, ok?
