Here are a couple of tracks from Dr. Dog's newest album, B-Room. I haven't had time to really dive into the new stuff yet so I lack an opinion. I do recommend seeing them live, and it just so happens they're hitting some of the WGOM's hometowns this winter, with two shows at First Ave.

Helmet – Milquetoast

Video

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzF_KzSlAAM

For my last day, I decided to pick a song of pretty great importance to me. I first heard this song on 120 Minutes when I was up way too late in elementary school. I was instantly in love. It was listed as being on the soundtrack for The Crow, and I went out and got it immediately. Eventually I found out it was also on their album Betty, which I got as soon as I could.

That album changed my perception of what rock could be. It was heavy, dense, and unrelenting. I was only 12 or 13, but I'd never heard anything like it before. After that album, my tastes started forming to what they are today. I owe a lot of who I am to a song I just happened upon on TV. Helmet is a band who had a huge influence on the rock scene. I doubt it would be a big deal to them, but they had one on me too. And it all started with this song.

And thus ends my week at the controls. I hope you enjoyed it.

The Intelligence – (They Found Me in the Back Of) The Galaxy

Video 2 Comments

I couldn't really put a week of music up and leave out The Intelligence. They're probably the band whose work I look forward to the most these days. Their album last year, Everybody's Got It Easy But Me, was worth the (excruciating) two year wait. This was the first single from the album, and was my favorite song of 2012. I figured it was a fitting choice for FMD.

If anyone likes this song, and is interested, I've got download codes for their last three or four albums. I'd gladly send them to you when I get back to Fargo so you can enjoy them. They're also all on Spotify. You know, if you're so inclined.
