My Taste in Music

Songs of the day, albums of the month, and why I like them

  • paralyzed – Souly Had I love a good falsetto. I love neosoul music. This is a perfect song for me to enjoy. I’ll admit, I don’t know any others by Souly Had, but I really dig the vibe and sound of this one. It’s one that I listen to a lot of times in the… Read more

  • Hays, Kansas – 49 Winchester I believe I first heard “this song”Hays, Kansas” about two or so years ago, and I initially fell in love with the opening guitar riff, then soon after lead singer Isaac Gibson’s voice (seen on the cover of their album, III). As soon as it was over, I think I… Read more

  • Wait So Long – Trampled By Turtles The first time I heard this song was actually performed live by TbT themselves, opening for Zach Bryan the first time I saw him in May 2023. I had no idea who these guys were (shame on me) and was enjoying their music, but hadn’t really given much… Read more

  • Lump – The Presidents of The United States of America The first time I was introduced to this song was actually through one of my childhood heroes, Weird Al Yankovic. Before I heard Lump, I heard his parody, called “Gump”. About Forrest, of course, it is so well done that it’s sometimes hard to tell… Read more

  • John Redcorn – SiR SiR’s “John Redcorn” is a great R&B/Soul track from his 2019 album Chasing Summer. I believe I found this song by accident while searching for King of The Hill clips on YouTube. The song is named after a character on the aforementioned show which features the character, John Redcorn, who is… Read more

  • Dead & Bloated – Stone Temple Pilots If you’ve listened to a rock radio station, or streamed some sort of 90s rock radio on Spotify or Apple, chances are you have come across STP and probably this song. Best known for its jarring and blunt intro, vocalist Scott Weiland is actually singing into the pickup… Read more

  • Apologies

    Once again, i apologize for the lack of post yesterday.. Will make up with bonus songs today at some point. This won’t become a trend, I have just had a real lack of time this week. Read more

  • Wu-Tang Clan Ain’t Nuthing ta F’ Wit, C.R.E.A.M, Method Man, Protect Ya Neck – Wu-Tang Clan In my post yesterday, I said I would include a bonus song since I missed the SOTD yesterday. However, I decided to choose four songs from one of the greatest and most influential rap albums of all time, by… Read more

  • Due to a move and internet issues, unfortunately there will be no today July 15th, 2024. I plan on being back tomorrow and potentially will do a double post to make up for it! Read more

  • Decoration Day – Drive By Truckers I don’t think I could ever write any post that aptly does this song justice, as it is an absolute masterclass in storytelling by Jason Isbell. (If you’re not familiar, he got his start with one of my favorite bands ever, the Drive-By Truckers.) I firmly believe that Mr.… Read more
