Against Me! is one of those bands that I can enjoy almost everything by. Pick and record they release, front and back, every song. This is one of their earliest tunes, a b-side off a single from 2002. One of the most honest and heart wrenching songs in their catalog. And thats a competitive category

Said The Whale - "Camilo (The Magician)"
Dano
Hermano Guiterrez - "Esperanza"
Jonny HP
My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult - "After The Flesh"
Michael Franti & Spearhead - "Love Will Find A Way"
G-Man
Millencolin - "The Ballad"
A song about high school reminds me of when I was in high school. Mixed emotions follow. Holding on to the last thread to make it through, all the while knowing some day i'm gonna look back and regret it all. Great track though. This band deserves more recognition
As pure an honest as Against Me!'s songs normally are, this one is about as bareboned honest it gets. A b-side to one of their earliest singles, the turmoil singer/songwriter Laura Jane Grace dealt with most of her life is bubbling under the surface of this one. Completely stunned me the first time I heard it. Just an absolute banger.

Whitney Houston & Clean Bandit - "How Will I Know"
Mr. T Chronixx - "Spanish Town Rockin'"
This one came up on the Sirius XM last week and I was like "Oooohhhhh I like"
G-Man Metallica - "All Withing My Hands" w/ The San Francisco Symphony Orchestra
It's been a long wait for the release of Metallica's S&M2. Recorded back in September 2019, it was well worth the wait. To make it stand out from their first concert with an Orchestra back in 1999, Metallica took a few more chances with the songs they chose this time around. Featuring a bass solo, James singing with just the Orchestra and Metallica playing with the Symphony to a piece composed by a Russian composer in the in 1920s. I think the most impressive feat was turning one of my least favourite Metallica songs into one of my current favourites. Taking a track off of St. Anger, turning it acoustic and adding a full Orchestra, leaves "All Within My Hands" one of the stand outs of an already fantastic album. Finally, something good in 2020
Doug Babylon Zoo - "Spaceman"
Apple Music brought it to my attention just this morning and it needed sharing!
Dano Lucas Stricagnoli - "For A Few Dollars More"
Jonny HP Against Me! - "Transgender Dysphoria Blues"
Mike D Doris Day - "Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)
In honour of my Grandfather
J.B. Grimes - "Reaiti"
In case you've been living under a rock for the past year or two, to me five years. Grimes is a Canadian musical genius creating and writing music for some pretty high level music heads. Maybe you've seen her next to a certain mega-billionaire/rocket ship and car maker. She has some amazing tunes though and this one is a guilty pleasure for sure. If you want to about musical arc, her repetoire definitely has matured and changed dramatically. Enjoy
Mr. T TBD G-Man Big Business - "Let The Grind"
The album stood out. It was on display above the milk crates full of vinyl in the heavy metal section. The cover art intriguing, a large bejewelled owl, hand drawn or so it seemed. Reminded of "Prey" by Planes Mistaken For Stars. Another album I purchased solely because of the album art. Brought it home and let it spin. I thought to myself...how did I let it all slip by me?
Doug Cake - "Mahna, Mahna"
Dano Big Sugar - "Leadbelly (Dub)"
Jonny HP The Allman Brothers Band - "Ramblin' Man"
G-Man Against Me! - "We Laugh At Danger And Break All The Rules"
Harkening back to Jonny & G whatever the fuck year this was from
Doug Fiction Plane - "If Only"
Dano Lucinda Williams - "Can't Let Go"
Killer killer
Jonny HP The Pixies - "Palace Of The Brine"
In honour of these beautiful Utah mountains that have graced my view every day this week
Riiiick TBD Mike D Ozzy Osbourne - "Crazy Train"
After hearing about this up-and-coming artist from Post Malone I thought i'd look into some of his earlier works
