On Monday Metallica surprisingly dropped a brand new single on the world and announced not only an upcoming world tour, but a new album in 2023. 72 Seasons is to be released in April! These past few days have been real exciting!
Staind has definitely gotten a bad rep these days. If they're even still around. Whatever haze has surrounded the band as of late has made people forget about just how fantastically devastating their first 2 albums were. In a time of rap-infused Nu-Metal, Staind's Dysfunction kept the slow crunch of grunge and the blistering, pain-soaked vocals of true metal alive with songs like "Just Go', "Suffocate" and "Mudshovel", but even the deep cuts on the CD were worth a listen. Like the self-immolating "Me"

Elliott Smith - "Angeles"
For me Elliott Smith was refuge during my early 20's. I find myself neatly packing away his albums thinking, "That's enough for now". But I always return to the well timed, somewhat hollow sound, with lyrics that clearly come from all the insecurities that I know we've all had. Nothing better than to take a deep dive returning to a sound and space you really felt close to. Happy Friday!
G-Man Elliott Smith - "2:45am"
Lately one of my favourite times to listen to music is early Saturday mornings. A time typically reserved for sleeping in. It's nice to spin some easy going, retrospective tracks with a mug of joe. I realize this song's title is a time of day that doesn't add up, but the vibe fits perfectly.
Doug AC/DC - "Highway To Hell"
We should have used the recent heat wave as a theme for this week! Stay cool brothers!
Dano Everything Everything - "Arch Enemy"
