Friday Playlist

After a slight lull, the music has really started to pile up again, so we are back to the thick and juicy playlists.

“Celebrated Summer” - Hüsker Dü (Nods head.) Yeah, this is the good shit.

“Did I Say Too Much” - The Beaches Serious Song Of The Summer vibes here.

“Inland Ocean” - Matt Berninger With the NBA Finals featuring two teams from the middle part of the county, it seems like a no brainer to include this song. Especially since Indiana is right there in the lyrics. OMEN?!?!

“Not In Surrender” - Obongjayar All kinds of goodness in this track. His voice reminds me a little of Sananda Maitreya’s (FKA Terrence Trent D’Arby).

“Chemical Reaction” - Debbii Dawson Stereogum described this song as if “…a mad scientist blended a bit of ABBA, Dolly Parton, and a sprinkle of Queen.” You can’t go wrong with that combo!

“I Don’t Want To Die” - Good Looks GL just released a Deluxe Edition of last year’s Lived Here For A While album. No surprise that every new song is exceptionally solid.

“Don’t Want To Know” - World News This sounds like the result of combining a jam band with U2.

“Real Power” - Golomb Dumb band name. Nothing wrong with this song, though. Yo La Tengo + Izzy Pop, maybe?

“That Summer Feeling” - Jonathan Richman A summer classic.

“Come Out And Play (Keep ‘Em Separated)” - The Offspring This week’s Alternative Number One, an absolute ripper that still rips now, no matter how silly and regrettable The Offspring eventually became.
