Ratboys – Making Noise for the One You Love
2023 saw a lot of excellent new albums from bands with a female lead and dudes playing indie rock. Bully, Wednesday, Blondeshell all had amazing albums (and local shows). Bully and Wednesday also made the 2023 Summer Mix. Ratboys also had a great new album and I really like this opening song.
Talking Heads – Warning Sign
Ok, now we are moving into a more arty not, necessarily rock direction. I love this video in that the crowd seems to be surrounding the Talking Heads. Also, David Bryne throws down some crazy licks on the guitar. The album More Songs About Buildings and Food was a sign that there was something different out there that was really interesting musically.
Van Halen – Feel Your Love Tonight
I’m going to start the week with rock and roll because for the most part, rock still dominated popular music. Van Halen came out in 1978 and blew my 15-year-old mind away. This is still one of my favorite songs of all time and this performance really shows what early Van Halen was like alive. I flipped out when I found this video. This album is important because rock was getting a little stodgy (I’m looking at you Foreigner and Styx). Van Halen gave rock a much-needed kick in the ass. The drum solo got a little long, unfortunately.
The Postal Service & Death Cab for Cutie – Enjoy the Silence
Wednesday – Quarry
I like this song's narratives.
(Sorry, no great live versions out there.)
Childish Gambino – Feels Like Summer
Bar Italia – punkt
Soundgarden – Let Me Drown
Blood Incantation – Slave Species of the Gods
Maybe I'll just do this all week
