“Get Out of My House” – Miya Folick
\nFolick described this song as an exorcism. Which makes it a perfect metaphor for the last weekend of winter, a time for throwing out all the unnecessary things that have collected over the past little while.<\/p>\n
“Tell Me To Go” – John-Allison Weiss
\nThis track is over three years old, but also appears on Weiss’ new album. It reminds me of the bedroom pop from 20 years ago.<\/p>\n
“Lose You” – Bully featuring Soccer Mommy
\nI’m sensing a theme of sorts; so far every song is about loss or leaving or throwing out. <\/p>\n
“The Way” – Manchester Orchestra
\nMO have a new album coming out in April. Along with it will come a VR film that the band describes as downloading a dream into your head. Which sounds kind of freaky. This track sure does have a dreamy quality to it, so I’m interested to see what the visuals set to accompany it will look like.(Actually the album came out today. Apparently the film comes out in a few weeks.)<\/p>\n
“Nobody” – Black Belt Eagle Scout
\nKatherine Paul\u2019s new album is all about growing up as a Native American without any role models in American pop culture that she could identify with, and how a recent trip back to her ancestral homelands forced her to consider her place in the music world. Heavy stuff to turn into such a beautiful song.<\/p>\n
“Bleed Together” – Soundgarden “Disappointment” – Blondhsell
\nFrom the sessions for 1996’s Down on the Upside<\/em>, Soundgarden saved this for their post-breakup greatest hits collection A-Sides<\/em>, released in late 1997. It’s the Pearl Jammiest song Soundgarden ever made. I still think that’s actually Jeff Ament playing bass, as it sounds exactly like his style.<\/p>\n
\n“Disappointment” – The Cranberries
\nI don’t necessarily love Blondhsell’s cover. Sabrina Teitelbaum’s certainly can’t match Dolores O’Riordan’s. Them again, who can? Since it is March 17 and I just heard the cover for the first time earlier this week, seems right to include some Irish, and Irish-influenced, music. It is interesting that Blondshell makes her version sound more ’90s than the 1994 original.<\/p>\n
