I really liked Speedy Ortiz's last album, Major Arcana quite a bit, but it meant a hell of a lot more to me after seeing them last October. This was the first song released off their forthcoming record Foil Deer and I'm pretty sure I'm going to flip over that record if this is any indication.

Wrestling references? Sure, occasionally.
It's my turn at the controls, and I figure we'll start things off with a cut from one of my favorite records from last year. And to be up front, International Women's Day lost an hour to DST, so expect a focus on female artists this week as I do my part to make up for that. It's still Women's History Month after all!
