Live at Plan 9 July 13th, 2006 – Drive-By Truckers I featured a Drive-By Truckers song that was really a Jason Isbell song, so I decided to make it up to them by featuring an entire album of theirs. I was debating about which studio album to look at, but ended up going with one… Read more

Kathleen – Catfish and The Bottlemen Catfish and the Bottlemen are another one of the groups that I listened to all the time in college, an indie rock outfit hailing from Wales. If I remember correctly, I first heard “Kathleen” while I was in high school. I really liked it but for whatever reason never… Read more

Saw Red (Acoustic) – Bradley Nowell (Sublime) I have been a huge fan of Sublime since middle school, and I think what really drew me to them was the fact that, at that time, I had never heard anything like them before. This sort of prototype of punk and reggae, with killer horns featured as… Read more

Almost Automatic – Good Looks Happy Friday! I was introduced to the outstanding indie group Good Looks by a good friend of mine, who showed me this song almost a year ago, and since then, it has been in regular rotation for me.

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

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

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

Midas – Wunderhorse Another short one today! Wunderhorse is one of my favorite new bands, formed out of a solo project started during the pandemic in England. Their first and, at the time of writing, only album, 2022’s Cub, (which I plan on featuring in an album of the month post at some point in… Read more
