Hey that one's on the Scrubs soundtrack (#2 on your list)
Yup. From an absolute heart breaker of an episode that I haven't been able to watch since my sister passed.
Hold On Hope is probably one of the more "controversial" songs in the GBV canon. The band has denounced this version as over-produced and trying too hard to goose a hit single from the label. So the fans have glommed onto that. Which all is a little too much of "Indie band sell out," gripe for me, which get's tiresome. Probably isn't in my top 50 GBV songs but it's decent. I get why people like it and why can't we just leave it that?
There's something to be said for accessibility. I've listened to more GBV because of this song than I would have without it. That said, I can understand the plight of the passionate fan who wants everyone to love GBV for who they are, not what they put out one time - that's a pretty normal human experience.
I agree.
Now that I have your attention, have you heard Soul Barn, it's off Suitecase #2, full of unreleased and demo versions of Pollard songs. In this collection you'll find Pollard testing new boundaries of song making...... (oops, sorry got a little carried away there.)It's sad when someone's Tuesday's gray and Wednesday's blue.
I'll +1 that first song. Almost made my personal summer mix this year.
I'm going a different route. Sorry.
Have you heard "American Crisis" by Bob Mould? I almost put that as my number one.
That should be on the list
"Point the Finger" by Body Count featuring Riley Gale from Power Trip should be on this same playlist.
Here's my Summer Mix promos:
Um yeah very different, but yeah this summer.
Oh, your number 3 .... .... ............. .... oh mama that's a good tune.
definite not safe for work.
Would have been my number one, but I went another direction.
Seriously not safe for your work laptop or your young kid's ears.
