70s Arena Rock Under Neon: "Smokin'" by Boston (1976)

Feature Song of The Day = 'Sad Song' by The Cars (2011)

Today's feature song goes to American rock band The Cars and their recently released new track Sad Song.  which formed back in 1976 onto what was called the new-wave music scene. Coming out of Boston, Massachusetts the members were Ric Ocasek (vocals and guitar), Benjamin Orr (bass guitar), Elliot Easton (lead guitar), Greg Hawkes (keyboards and synth) and David Robinson (drums). Sad Song will appear on their new album Move Like This, which is set to be released on May 10th 2011, and it has been a long time coming since their last album was  Door to Door, which was released way back in 1987. Very exciting for Cars fans everywhere!

Mentionable Mashup of the Week = 'I Got More Than a Feeling' by MadMixMustang (MMM)

This week's mentionable mashup is I Got More Than a Feeling by VJ/mashup artist MadMixMustang (MMM). This mashup features the 1976 hit More Than a Feeling, by American rock-band Boston. It is mashed with the more contemporary 2009 #1 hit I Gotta Feeling, by American hip-hop/pop group the Black Eyed Peas. This is quite a mashup, and if you like what you hear then I recommend heading on over to MMM's website and have a listen to some of the other mash-ups residing there.
