New songs for June 15th 2026

 here they are:


"Dollar Bill" by Jack White:  The opening 30 seconds of this song sounds like someone trying to play psychedelic blues-rock out in the desert! From there, Jack White channels his inner Jimmy Page in a world where fuzz guitar meets slide guitar. In "Dollar Bill"'s brief span of 2 minutes and and 42 seconds, the song still manages to be a zonked out mindblower! The lyrics of the song seem like they're comparing being controlled in a relationship to being controlled by money.


"Twizzler" by Cigarettes After Sex:  Our only other song of the week also has a time span of under 3 minutes, but it sounds vastly different! Instead of ear-splitting blues-rock, "Twizzler" is ear-calming atmospheric indie-pop. With Greg Gonzalez' seductive vocals repeatedly crooning "kiss so hot" in this song, this song is the perfect one to dive into a world of intimacy in just under 3 minutes!

New songs for April 6th 2026

 here they are: "A Perfect Storm" by Jose Gonzalez:  "A Perfect Storm" IS a perfect storm - a perfect storm of melancholia, intensity, and calm in a single song! And it doesn't take that many instruments to do it either! In typical Jose style, acoustic guitar is the dominant instrument in this song, but he uses it in such a powerful way that I can't help but be drawn in. Jose's storm, lyrically, is a force of nature in more ways than one! The song is an eerily self-aware meditation and lament on how we are to blame for being the victims of our own impending doom. Phrases like "race against time" and "gambling with our common fate" indicate how Jose realizes that the human race has put itself in imminent danger. At least we get a good song out of it! "Back in Love" Suki Waterhouse:  One of the most insanely catchy songs of summer 2024 was Suki Waterhouse's indie-pop anthem, "Supersad"! Though her next single, ...

New songs for April 27th 2026

 here they are: "American Dream" by Alabama Shakes:  Releasing a song called "American Dream" at a time when that sort of dream seems divided was intentional on the part of Brittany Howard and co this time. This swirling soul-rock slow jam expresses how disillusioned Brittany has become with both politics and how they affect other areas of life ranging from gun reform to abortion to the environment. She repeatedly refers to this dream as "the impossible dream," but not "impossible" in the sense of "sounds farfetched, but we can get there." More in the sense of how it really has become impossible now! "I can't keep dreaming," she says towards the end, reluctantly wanting to reconcile her dashed hopes with the harsher realities of American life at present. This one hurts, but in such a powerful, relatable way! "Any Old Fool" by Thee Sacred Souls:  TSS do what they do best on this song, and that is how they sound li...
