Track of the Day: “Mai Thai Surprise” by The Cosmic Strange

Being half Thai, I could not pass up on song titled “Mai Thai Surprise”. The band is THE COSMIC STRANGE from Johannesburg and features Romaine Soobramoney on drums, James Shorten on bass, Josh Chettiar on guitars, and Nick De Beer on guitars/vocals. “Mai Thai Surprise” is from their EP OTHER WORDLY and it’s fun song with a very infectious groove.

Track of the Day: “Chrissie Hynde” by Butch Walker

For me, BUTCH WALKER ranks up there in prolific songwriters like RYAN ADAMS and MATTHEW RYAN. He knows how to write a song that touches ones soul in whatever form of a band he’s in and he’s been in a few: BYTE THE BULLET, SOUTHGANG, THE FLOYDS, MARVELOUS 3, 1969 and BUTCH WALKER AND THE BLACK WIDOWS, and as a solo artist.
