Weekend Wildcard - A Matter of Trust by Billy Joel

This Weekend's Wildcard is A Matter of Trust by Billy Joel off of his 1986 album The Bridge. This song is unique in that is features Billy on electric guitar instead of piano which is why he says it's his favorite music video.

Scott's Metal Track of the Day - Krigsgaldr by Heilung

Well I said yesterday's Metal Track was strange but I think this one definitely has it beat. This is Krigsgaldr by the Danish folk-metal band Heilung. I don't even know if this qualifies as metal but it's making the cut tonight. If you couldn't tell by the antlers and bones used for instruments, this band had a primal approach to music. The vocal performances are great.

Scott's 5th Anniversary Metal Track of the Day - Angry Again by Megadeth

Today marks the 5th Anniversary of my music blog. As of today I have posted over 1700 different tracks by well over 400 different artist. There are still plenty of great tracks out there and new tracks coming out so I hope to keep it going for awhile.

My very first post was a Megadeth track so I figure another one for the 5 Year Anniversary would be appropriate. Today's Metal Track is Angry Again from the Last Action Hero Soundtrack which is one of my favorite soundtracks. I have it on cassette around here somewhere. Here's to another 5 years of Metal!

Scott's Metal Track of the Day - Jaguar God by Mastodon

Today's Metal Track is Jaguar God by Mastodon. This is the closing track off of their 2017 album Emperor of Sand which is still in the CD player of my car as we speak. Just a great overall song that is a little different that most Mastodon songs with the slow intro. The high point is that fantastic solo by Brent to close out the song and the album.
