Secret Song of the Day
So, there is the new UrHo and one exciting thing is that the new SSOTD player is on every UrHo page with navigation and it should work for all browsers now so I don't think I will be posting the mp3 here every time I update because the new UHX doesn't have automatic mp3 player in it.
Also, I will be doing a little wrap up SSOTD post for the front page of UrHo every week (where if I do the little write up for the songs if I want to do a little write up). Hmm...but then you won't be able to hear the old ones. I wonder what the best way to do this is.
Hmm. Maybe I will do the little write up still here so people can listen that day and then compile them for the less hardcore UrHo visitors on the frontpage weekly. Thanks for being there for me while I talk myself through this.
Anyway, the ones for this week so far have been:
Nudge - My New Youth
White Williams - New Violence

Herb Alpert - Rise
So smooth you might think I'm crazy, but just ride the groove and about midway through it gets so funky and you will recognize something from another song you know. Glide into the weekend.
Daniel Collings - Doing Something
He’s Daniel Collings! He’s 14 years old! He’s from Australia. He wrote two songs and sings them acapella in his backyard in front of a drum set. Clearly inspired by the deepest of underground house musics.
This is a beautiful thing.
I really like both songs. The SSOTD is the second one he sings.
Billabong is an australian term for a specific kinda lake/body of water. It's where the brand got its name, but that doesn't make "i'm eating a billabong" any less mysterious but at least he does rhyme it with ping pong.
True fans should check out:
Arp - Pastoral Symphony: I.Dominoes II.Eternal Room
Righeira - Vamos a la Playa (Dub Version)
This is a song from 1983 by two Italian guys named Stefano sung in Spanish. It's about atomic war and also going to the beach. This is the dub version for the dancefloor. It was a minor hit in UK/Europe.
New England Roses - Blood Blood Blood
This is a group that features JD Samson from Le Tigre + MEN, Brendan Fowler from BARR, and Sarah Shapiro. They made 1 album and 1 7".
Ollie & Jerry - Breakin'...There's No Stoppin' Us
What a great band name! What a great song! Ollie & Jerry consists of drummer Ollie E. Brown & singer Jerry Knight.
I'm definitely naming a child Ollie E.
This was the theme to the breakdancing movie "Breakin'."
This is a slightly different mix than I posted but the vid is pretty great!
Radar Bros. - Camplight
Hype Williams - Rescue Dawn II
Mysterious shrouded band from Europe that makes hazy re-appropriated weed screwed synth jams. Is this witch house? Not exactly, but shares some similar influences.
they are this:

I put together UrHo Secret Song of the Day Volume 11, the zipped up folder file!!!
http://www.urbanhonking.com/song/SSOTD11.zip
GRAB IT!
all over volumes still available
398 songs in all the volumes. Pretty sweet!
Privacy - Goodnight Fox
Positive K - I Got a Man
Top 10 underrated party starters.
From 1992.
Male/Female Dialectic
Landing - Coming Down
It's totally Landing time of year. This song comes from their first official LP, Circuit. Fall Fall Fall Fall Fall Fall.
Men at Work - Overkill
Ghost Town DJs - My Boo
This group only released this one song. It was on a compliation on Jermaine Dupri's So So Def label called "So So Def Bass All Stars." Great song.
Kurt Vile - In My Time
Modern dude. He does solo stuff and has a band called The War on Drugs.
This song is the perfect combo of like mellow Dino Jr./Meat Pups and like Petty for me.
Ray Lynch - The Oh of Pleasure
from the album Deep Breakfast (1984)
Maze - Joy and Pain (Beltway 8 C&S Mix)
Orange Juice - Rip It Up
Been meaning to delve into this Scottish early 80s act for a long time as many people I know think they are great. Edwyn Collins who went onto a solo career was in this band. Feeling it.
Ô Paon - Aéroport/Évolution
Really enjoying this album "Courses" in this season that it fits so well.
GO JO(EY).
2 songs from this collection were calling out to me today. The other one was short and perfect. The one I chose is 9 minutes long and presents a struggle. Sometimes that is needed.
Teddy Riley & Tammy Lucas - Is It Good To You?
DJing tonight at Valentines and I've been just swimming in New Jack Swing songs. I didn't know this one before a couple days ago but its pretty slamming and a pretty perfect representation of the genre.
(Teddy was premier producer of New Jack Swing, made a lot of the big hits, was a member of the group Guy which had a bunch of jams, and later he was in Blackstreet)
Chic - Everybody Dance
This disco song makes me feel good. Also Nile Rodgers makes me feel good.
This is the 8 minute 12" version! VINYL RIP!
BASSLINE!
Yume Bitsu - Wabi Morning Side A
I dare you to wake up on a Sunday morning and put this on and it not be the most refreshing beautiful accepting damn way to start a day ever.
Side A of an improvised minimal 2 piece Yume Bitsu vinyl release. Side A feature trumpet and electric guitar. Side B is acoustic guitar and voice and bells I believe.
Isan - Cutlery Favours
The Superions - Fruitcake
This is a current Fred Schneider side project. This is the only holiday song I'm really feeling right now. It's boss. It's dumb and so fun.
Ze Malibu Kids - I Won't Forget You
A weird project by the McDonald brothers from the great punk--->power pop group Redd Kross, and Anna Waronker from that dog, and a 7 year old drummer. This song hits a perfect sad love note for me.
Beck - Super Golden Black Sunchild
Teenage Fanclub - Mad Dog 20/20
That wine was the best girl I ever had.
The Three Suns - Skaters Waltz
From the album A Ding Dong Dandy Christmas. I got this from James Voges!
R. Kelly - Lost in Your Love
This is from Kelly's brand new Love Letter album that is SOOO GOOD. It isn't the ridiculous dumb sex analogy Kelly of recent years. It's his attempt at being super classic r&b. There are songs that are reminiscent of Sam Cooke. There is sultry 70s style soul. It's like the unofficial sequel to his Happy People album. I love it.
I LOVE R. KELLY (ALL VERSIONS)
I LOVE "WHEN A WOMAN LOVES," BUT THIS ONE IS GOOD TOO.
Good call, Steve.
Where he says that he just wants people to know the momma's boy side of him!
That he wants to be able to be "Robert," not "Kells," not "The Pied Piper," not "the Weatherman!"
"I hate hate. I love love."
It both broke my heart and blew my mind. Hats off to you, Robert Kelly.
I made a tiny weird NYE micromix (10 minutes)
Auld Dang Sine (Amps for Mariah)
Saturday January 1
Little Dragon - A New (Tropics Remix)
Heart - Never
Nothing to get you through the first Monday of TwentyElevey than some midtempo syncopated 80s rock synths and STRONG lady vox.
