Excrement.<\/p>\n<p>But here\u2019s the good part\u2014there are so many human beings that statistically there\u2019s an astounding amount of great electronic music in the 1%! So much so, in fact, that I can\u2019t possibly play all of it even on a weekly one hour program. There\u2019s just too much of it! Seemed a shame to keep it to myself so I started Tweeting whatever tracks I was listening to at the moment that I thought were worth hearing.<\/p>\n<p>Problem solved, right?<\/p>\n<p>Not quite.<\/p>\n<p>I listen to a lot of music when I\u2019m on the go and it was frustrating to not always be able to link to the song or album I was listening to.<\/p>\n<p>What to do?<\/p>\n<p>After giving it some thought I created a new section on my blog where I featured the <a title=\"solipsistic NATION: Song of the Day web page\" href=\"http:\/\/solipsisticnation.com\/category\/blog\/song-of-the-day\/\">song of the day<\/a>. That gave me the freedom to not only link to the artist but also include the song or a video of the song of the day, and whenever it\u2019s possible, a free MP3 download of that song.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve posting a song a day for the last month or so and now that I have enough of them under my belt I thought it was time to share some of those songs with you on today\u2019s show. And like the tracks I feature on my blog, the music on today\u2019s show will skip from genre to genre and every track is top notch.<\/p>\n<p>On today\u2019s I prove it to you.<\/p>\n<p>Below are links to purchase music from on today\u2019s show. If you like anything you heard, why not spend a buck or two to support the artists?<\/p>\n<p>See you next week!<\/p>\n<p><i>Photo Credit: \u00a9<a title=\"mr_cactus Flickr page\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/mr_cactus\/\" target=\"_blank\">mr_cactus<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"120\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mixcloud.com\/widget\/iframe\/?hide_cover=1&amp;light=1&amp;feed=%2Fsolipsisticnation%2Fsong-of-the-day%2F\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong><a title=\"Morgan Page iTunes page\" href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/album\/in-the-air-bonus-track-version\/id498830826\" target=\"_blank\">Morgan Page<\/a><\/strong> \u201cLoves Mistaken feat.
