Devendra Banhart

A very intoxicating song. There's something so eerie and peaceful about this song. Loving the folk.

"Insect Eyes" by Devendra Banhart

Paul McCartney

Paul McCartney does have many gems. This is one of them I happened to run across as I was seeking out the "100 must have albums." So as I find other songs that rock I'm all over it. I first became obsessed with Paul's solo career with a little diddy called "Maybe I'm Amazed."

"Oh Woman, Oh Why" by Paul McCartney

The Kinks

I just love this song. It's uplifting and helps me think about what great things might be coming my way. It should do the same for you.

"This Time Tomorrow" by The Kinks

Flamin' Groovies

Didn't hear about this band that has been around for almost 40 years. You got to love the lyric, "she's a teenage love machine." It speaks of the beginnings of the era in so many ways.

"Teenage Head" by Flamin' Groovies

The Gossip

One of the most powerful voices you have heard in a while. I was lucky enough to see them almost 5 years ago and couldn't believe what an amazing show. I wanted to celebrate their new album out by tossing in a classic.

"Standing In The Way Of Control" by The Gossip

The Animals

I've been diving into some older albums to try and find those gems that have eluded me for all these years. Well...I found one thanks to a guy that handed me The Animals Retrospective album. I immediate new even before the lyrics kicked in she was a good one. Saaaaandooz

"A Girl Named Sandoz" by The Animals

HTRK

Not sure how to explain this but I just love the sound and subtlety of the lyrics. I think they are extremely new so try and find their stuff and let me know. Ha.

"Ha" by HTRK

TAB The Band

Found these guys through a beer chuggin' friend. They do rule and have an almost hard nerd rock sound to them with a hint of blues. And I say nerd rock only because some of their lyrics, but they still rock. And besides what doesn't rule about Weezers first and second albums. So relax.

"Looking Pretty, Pretty" by TAB The Band

Bush Tetras

There are three great things that came out of the 80's: Myself, the return of the leotard, and this song. This is one of those songs I'd classify under "sexy."

"Snakes Crawl"(Burglar Tom Edit) by Bush Tetras

Wreckless Eric

Speak of the devil. This speaks for itself.

"Whole Wide World" by Wreckless Eric

Kleenex Girl Wonder

Just found this band the other day and I keep going back to this song. It got this gritty college sound to it that works great while driving. For some reason it reminds me of "Whole Wide World." Perhaps because I want to scream it at the top of my fucking lungs. "And the future might look quit horrid, but the truth is that I don't mind"

"Tendency Right Foot Forward" by Kleenex Girl Wonder

Grizzly Bear

I've know about these guys for a bit, but was never really in the mood to listen. They have a melodic sound that sort of weaves you through a peaceful journey that I wasn't ready to go on. This song caught my attention because of the title, then listening to it created this haunting reality. It's a wicked story, one that's probably all too real. And besides the guitar riff is amazing.

"He Hit Me" by Grizzly Bear
