Survivor's Malcolm Freberg
We're not shy about loving the reality tv competition show, Survivor. Last year we took that passion and reached out to see if we could have one of the show's all-star players, help up pick our song of the day.
So, we gathered our tribe here together and waited as each member put the name of their favorite contestant in the jar. Amidst the gleam of our fluorescent lights, we listened as the names were read: Malcolm, Malcolm, Phillip (Shock! WTF! lots of looking around),Malcolm…(Waiting)…(where is that drumbeat coming from)…(Waiting)…”Oh, come on!’ – The winner of our DaysTune guest feature is, Malcolm Freberg.
Now, of course the real winners here are you and I. You never know how guests are going to respond to our six little questions, but the fan favorite didn’t let us down. He’s picked a great song and took time to give us what will probably go down as the best Q&A here ever.
Malcolm Freberg Picks Today’s Song For September 13th
Song Choice: “Thunder Clatter” by Wild Club
1) Tell us why you picked this song to feature today?
I chose this song for purely selfish reasons: I have a really cool story about how I discovered the band, and I’ll look really cool when they blow up huge and I can point to this article and be all like, “Oh yea, I totes was into them back before they made it big and sold out.”
So story first: I was in Nashville visiting my little brother. We’d gone to the Basement to see a few shows, drink cheap Tecate, and have a generally mellow evening. But at one point we’d stepped outside and chatted up the bouncer, who told us he was closing a show at another venue late night. We got the address for the place off him, and headed over after closing drinking establishment #1.
