What’s her job?
She’s Strange - Cameo: I know there can be sticker shock when it comes to song lengths. Hell, I’m the kind of person to pass up great movies in favor of good ones just because I don’t want to be locked in to one story for damn near 3 hours. From one indecisive and impatient person to another, trust me on this one. Greasy and funky with some pretty fun bars during the verses and a sensual hook that’ll make your lady say, “I like it…”
Better Way - Turnstile: The Tent House Grand Council just decreed that Turnstile is the best band in hardcore right now. They make the most interesting music, and it all comes so naturally to them. I recently watched this video about them, and the idea is floated that they don’t make any one specific genre of music, just the music that they like to make. This cut is from their earlier catalog but it’s a strong showcase as to why these guys became the best band operating in the space right now
Laser Cannon Deth Sentence - Dethklok: So here’s the thing about Dethklok. They’re not even a real band and yet they’re sicker than an absolute dumpster load of other bands. I mean, yes, they’re a real band but Metalocalypse is a comedy; the music is tongue in cheek. Even with that being said, the Klok is ridiculously solid. Brendon Small, the creator of the show, makes sure that each of the characters on the show are actually making correct hand movements whenever they play their instruments. It’s all sick man every single episode of it. Here’s one of my favorite bits
Test My Patience - Donna Missal: Soft words exchanged over the shared last glass of the bottle, sitting on the same side of the booth, our hands interlocked under the table, your head resting on my left shoulder, our eyes closed in contemplative appreciation for the moment, a movie starting a few minutes from now, a drive to be made and a line to be waited in, a final search along numbered rows,
but not now, now we are sharing the last glass of the bottle, and we’re sitting on the same side of the booth, and you just interlocked your fingers with mine under the table, and you just rested your head on my shoulder and now we’ve both closed our eyes in contemplative appreciation for the moment,
(this track makes me feel romantic)
La Vecindad - Carin Leon: A friend of mine was invited to a kickback that wasn’t really a kick back at all. Get a load of these numbers: number of people present: 5, number of acoustic guitars being played: 2, number of experienced acoustic guitar players present: 0, amount of alcohol present (in fl. oz.): 0fl. oz. Unless Carin Leon is strumming one of those toothpicks and there’s at least 144 fl. oz. of beer for your guests, don’t invite me to your fuckin kickback.
Love is Everywhere - Pharoah Sanders: Tenor sax legend Pharoah Sanders brings the kind of firepower that the most technologically advanced military power in the history of the world would leave during a hasty retreat reached through a peace treaty that was more throwing their hands up in defeat and saying well we tried than anything after spending trillions of dollars and thousands of their citizens’ lives and countless more civilian lives, only for the people said military power was waging an endless war that no-one wanted against to find the firepower post-hasty retreat and use it on aforementioned innocent civilians in order to carry out a hostile takeover of their state and instill a theocracy. Good thing nothing like that has ever happened anywhere
Sam - Meat Puppets: Whenever I see some wild shit when I’m scrolling the feeds I am super quick to send it off to the chat so they have to see the same thing I did. This track is a bit of that same energy I think. I really like this song, and the album this song comes from, 1991’s Forbidden Places, is full of slappers to be sure, but sometimes you hear some wild shit that you need everyone to hear.
Gimme Little Sign - Brenton Wood: A buddy of mine is heavy into the electric organ right now and I’m excited to hear what he has to say about the bridge of this track.
Now I’m going to show you a playlist made by a man who got so wrapped up in his problem at work that he puts himself, and others, in danger. Now this playlist is a little old, it might sound a little dated, but I don’t want to hear any jokes about it, and don’t let the style of it distract you. AND I DON’T WANT ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE TABLES. Alright.
