The Book; The Movie

 

Rob

Mos Def - "Body Rock" feat. Tash & Q-Tip

Mr. T

Sam Fender - "Getting Started"

G-Man

Jellyfish - "That Is Why"

The long list of great 90's songs that i'm discovering today continues!! Jellyfish seem to be one of those bands that were too early, or maybe too late. Were a little too left of centre of what people were heavily consuming at the time and didn't have a smash hit big enough to pull them through. However, thankfully their songs still live on and we can enjoy them again and again!

Rita MacNeil - "Working Man"

Dano

Alex Lifeson - "Strip and Go Naked"

Jonny HP

Tears For Fears - "Everybody Wants To Rule The World"

Mike D

DES3ETT & Serena Ryder - "Killing The Pain"

J.B.

Oliver Tree - "Cowboy's Don't Cry"

New persona for Oliver Tree this time around. To me, this dude has a perfect formula with his tracks and also a fine tuned online presence.

Komorebi

Mr. T

The Manhattans - "Shining Star"

G-Man

Goldfinger - "Mable"

Pure, unadulterated 90's punk. With a dash of ska sprinkled on top. Mabel was an important name to me and some friends during my High School daze. So this song is the perfect time capsule of those younger selves.

Doug

Flight Of The Conchords - "Business Time"

Dano

Colm McGuinness - "Jenny Of Oldstones"

Jonny HP

The Fratellis - "Whistle For The Choir"

Mike D

Seven Lions - "Don't Leave" feat. Ellie Goulding

J.B.

Alpha - "Firefly (Receiver Mix)"

Well, I had a few great tracks lined up for today but this one spoke to me. For a long time I knew this one as Portishead "Music To Fuck To", and though Portishead has a ton of amazing tracks for, uh, extracurricular times, the track was actually one of those mislabeled during the Napster/Kazaa days of the early 2000s. The song still pleases all sorts of parts for your Friday and can set the tone for anyone's romantic or non-romantic evening. Maybe it's a happy F*ck Friday track?

Note from G-Man: I Thought it was Portishead too!!

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!

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

Charlie Hunter - "Creole feat. Mos Def"

I know it's not Christmas themed yet a laid back track i've been wrapping gifts to tonight!

Mr. Tinsle

Bruce Springsteen - "Merry Christmas, Baby"

Rob

Foo Fighters - "My Hero"

Mistletoe T

Patricia Vonne - "Santa's On A Rampage"

G in a Manger

Trans Siberian Orchestra - "Christmas Eve/Sarajevo"

It simply is not Christmas until I hear this one. Usually I put off listening to Xmas tunes until the Tree is put up and that typically doesn't happen until early-ish December after my daughter's birthday. Every year though it is definitely worth the wait. Sit back with a nice drink and enjoy it friends!!

Rob

Alien Ant Farm - "Sticks & Stones"

Mr. T

TooManyLeftHands - "I Wanna Dance With Somebody"

G-Man

Lenny Kravitz - "Rock n Roll is Dead"

A lesser known 90's hit from fully-dreaded Lenny Kravitz. Has a real 60's,70's chunky feel mixed in with that stylistic 90's flare. When Lenny was on he was damn near unstoppable. Great underrated track right here

Doug

REVE - "CTRL + ALT + DEL"

Dano

Crown Lands - "Big River Road"

Jonny HP

Moxy Fruvos - "King of Spain"

Honourable Mention to Weird Al for a wonderful tune that made me think of this song. Check out his track "King Of Suede"
