Fallout Boy - "Bang The Doldrums"

Eve 6 - "Nocturnal"

Mr. T

Led Zeppelin - "Baby Come On Home"

G-Man

Wilco - "California Stars"

I know it's the dead of Winter. And I mean DEAD. But I had to go with this one after I heard it on my morning commute this morning. One of my favourite Summer time chill songs. After the darkness comes the light. Warm sun on your face. Cool drink in your hand. Soon, right?

No Doubt - "Simple Kind Of Life"

This was going to be my pick before I heard the Wilco one this morning, but still thought I should give this one it's moment. Totally forgot about this track until I saw the video last night. Nothing's tougher for a band than trying to follow up a smash album. For No Doubt 1996's Tragic Kingdom made them (and singer Gwen Stefani) overnight sensations. It took them 4 years to come out with their next album Return Of Saturn. I always enjoyed it and thought it didn't get enough respect. I think this song gets forgotten, but it's a well written, well crafted alt-rock song. One of No Doubt's best.

Note From Rob: "Talk about a rod-stiffener"

Doug

Headstones - "Heart Of Darkness"

Dano

The Secret Sisters - "Mississippi"

The Secret Sisters - "He's Fine"

Jonny HP

Lana Del Rey - "Gods & Monsters"

Mike D

Loon Choir - "Full World"

J.B.

Le Tigre - "Deceptacon"

Electronic Dance Punk anyone? Le Tigre was a late 90s mindchild by the leftwing sociopolitical Kathleen Hanna (See Bikini Kill). I've heard this song covered by some pretty awesome front ladies over the years and even a high school garage band which was honestly epic. If you haven't heard it, it'll definitely help your Friday morning!

Red Heaven

 

Happy New Year folks!!!

Rob

Eve 6 - "Nightmare"

Mr. T

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - "Walls"

G-Man

Gojira - "Flying Whales"

Gotta love bands that start with G! Gotta love metal bands that start with G! I feel like Gojira have been on my radar for a while, but I only gave them an actual listen just recently. Really like what I've heard from them. Concise and melodic, yet brutal and at times unforgiving. "Flying Whales" was where I was recommended to start, so i'll pass it on to you! Happy New Year!

Doug

Taylor Swift - "New Year's Day"

Notorious B.I.G - "Party & Bullshit"

Teddybears STHLM - "Yours To Keep"

Well, thought i'd dig deep for some non-rager fueled vibes for your New Years Eve since the world is still a little bit on fire. Have a great one and we'll see you next year!

Xmas By The Amplifier Hum

Rob-nosed Reindeer

Eve 6 - "Noel Noel"

Mr. Tanenbaum

Run DMC - "Christmas In Hollis"

Giftwrapped-Man

No Doubt - "Oi To The World"

Not sure if i've picked this one for Xmas in the past or not. Ah, screw it. Nothing more fun than that infectious bass line and Gwen Stefani's vocals recanting a tale of race drive gang violence quashed by the magic of Christmas. It's originally a Vandals tune, but I dig this version's energy a little more.

Stone Sour - "Through Glass"

Still had a few tunes in the chamber to get through before dealing out the Christmas Cards. Maybe next week. Stone Sour is touch and go with me, i'm a huge Slipknot fan and think Corey Taylor is great. Come What(ever) May is a solid album. Got some gems

Baroness - "March To The Sea"

Thanks for introducing me to these guys Dano. I'm having a blast digging through their first 4 albums. I have a feeling i'll be hearing Purple in the near future.
