Today’s installment of “Song of the Day” is brought to you by yours truly, Virgil Dickerson.

Friends, today, i am turning back the clocks to 1996 and rocking out with one of my favorite bands from that year, Digger. This Pennsylvania pop-punk outfit came out swinging for the fences with this debut and I wore out the compact disc. Their live show was just so much fun and this was back when they had Phil who was such an energetic co-frontman. I really miss these guys and while thinking of a song for this fine Monday afternoon, my head conjured, “I Want My Hat Back”. This song is a pretty goofy anthem about getting your hat back but at the time, it was my jam. Listening to the album in 2009, it still holds up. I miss these guys. To me though, Powerbait was their best album and as much as I liked their later records, I always compared them to this record. if anyone talk to Chris Benner from Digger, tell them I say hi.

I think I am waxing nostalgic since I am gonna see the Nobodys tonight who were labelmates of Digger.

The album, “Powerbait” is available in the VC store, you can find it here.

The song, “I Want My Hat Back” is the 4th track off of “Powerbait”. You can download the song here.

As the Song of the Day continues, you can find past installments here. You will also notice that each week’s streaming player will have each Song of the Day added so that by week’s end, there will be 5 songs. We hope you like the track.
