Rob

Incubus - "Promises, Promises"

Mr. T

Shooter Jennings - "Walk Of Life"

G-Man

Staind - "Me"

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"

The Tragically Hip - "Cordelia"

Dano

Blues Caraceno - "Devil's Got You Beat"

Jonny HP

TBD

Mike D

Dolly Spartans - "I Hear The Dead"

J.B.

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!

Rob

Incubus - "Make Yourself"

Mr. T

Mt. Joy - "Astrovan"

G-Man

Slipknot - "Everything Ends"

Every now and then I need to blast a song that matches my ire and violent urges. These days it seems more the norm than not, and i'm noticing that other people seemingly are on the same wavelength. Someday, like everything else, this pandemic will end, and I will post a song with tranquil and serene vibes as we celebrate a return to normalcy. Today is not that day however. Slipknot. Iowa. Track 5. Engage

Doug

Dano

Larkin Poe - "Blunt"

Jonny HP

Owl City - "This Isn't The End"

Mike D

A Day To Remember - "Paranoia"

J.B.

The Worst - "Man"

This is one hell of an obscure band with only one notable track that I could find. Pretty grim tune, but it's catchy as hell

Centurion

Rob

Incubus - "A Crow Left Of The Murder"

Mr. T

Blind Faith - "Well All Right"

G-Man

The Rentals - "Friends Of P."

I think I initially dismissed this song because Weird Al made fun of it when he did his Much Music take over back in 1995/96. Revisiting this one again, because honestly it is purely a rapturous 90's pop experience. Also it's Matt and Patrick from Weezer!

Doug

JP Saxe & Maren Morris - "Line By Line"

Dano

Dragonforce - "Cry Thunder"

Jonny HP

Blue Oyster Cult - "Burnin' For You"

Mike D

Tokio Hotel - "Ready Set Go"

Bouncing Souls - "True Believers"

Just an all around awesome tune. Unfortunately, I didn't have much luck finding more super solid tracks by The Bouncing Souls. Happy Easter Friday ya fools.

Fall Out Boy - "Of All The Gin Joints In All The World"

Mr. T

Sammy Johns - "Chevy Van"

G-Man

The Cranberries - "Free To Decide"

This song has been in my head a bit lately. Not exactly sure why. It was definitely one of the videos in heavy rotation back when I was first getting into music into 1996. Memories of those times, that Summer in particular, are always welcome. RIP Dolores O'Riordan

Jonny HP

David Bowie - "I'm Afraid Of Americans"

Mike D

Incubus - "Pardon Me"

The Kids In The Hall - "Daves I Know"

Sometimes we have a certain song that really brings things home for us. Maybe it's a song that was playing for your first dance with a girl. Maybe a first anything? Well....this one's for all the Dave's out there

Incubus - "Have You Ever"

Alexisonfire - "Sidewalk When She Walks"

Been really having a love affair with Alexisonfire lately. These 2 songs are from their 2 strongest albums in my opinion, but they're all good really

Alexisonfire - "Keep It On Wax"

Doug

My Chemical Romance - "Welcome To The Black Parade"

Gerard Way is the lead singer of MCR and the author of the Umbrella Academy. A great graphic novel and a decent Netflix series

Rob

Incubus - "Nice To Know You"

Mr. T

Rihanna - "Cheers (Drink To That)"

Boston - "Foreplay/Long Time"

G-Man

Boston - "Peace Of Mind"

This song can stop me in my tracks. Mr. T and I got to talking about Boston after we made our picks. The self-titled album by Boston is not only one of the best ever, but perhaps the best ever debut album. Who else ya got? "Peace Of Mind" is a rocking good track, but can also mellow me out. Just what i'm looking forward to for the long weekend

Metallica - "No Remorse"

I play ultimate twice a week. It wouldn't be Summer without Ultimate Frisbee. Nothing gets me more pumped before a game than my ol' fave Metallica. I always felt Kill 'Em All was a punk/metal infused album. So Good. "No Remorse" is exactly what we gave that team tonight

Doug

Johnny Cash - "One Piece At A Time"

I heard it this week and made me think of an old coworker stuffing his pockets with stainless nuts and bolts from the stock because "No one cares if you only take a few"..

The Lackloves - "The Radio's Mine"

Don't know much about these guys. Possibly Canadian? No longer around? This song if from the 90's I think. Maybe 2002. Potentially 2007. Anyone's guess. I like songs about radio. Stereos. Boomboxes. Delve into my past.
