The past week of releases have had some decent tunes. Also included are two bands covered by blogmates: Big Wreck by Max and Stackridge by Clive. Links to the posts follow below. Staff Party by Big Wreck is a close knock off of Soundgarden. It’s not putting it down; it’s more admiration for carrying on…

#SLS – “Cup of Tea” by The Verve Pipe from “Villains” (1996)
Before I go any further in the post, don’t think my choice of a song with tea instead of coffee means I like tea better than coffee. Both are consumed in equal measure through day and night, with hot coffee ALWAYS first thing upon waking. I think I would implode into a puff of vapor…
#SLS — Song that mentions either Cars or Trucks suggested by Clive of Take It Easy — “SiMM” aka “Motor,” by Cake
After seeing Jim’s prompt (suggested by Clive of Take It Easy,) my first thought was Cake songs, who seem to like to sing about cars. Over seven albums, they’ve done Race Car Ya-Yas, Stickshifts and Safetybelts, Long Line of Cars, Wheels, Carbon Monoxide, Easy to Crash. Cake is an environmentally aware group. They know how…

Tapping into that was a godsend – I began with that and the album just flowed. – Sting Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner (b. 10/2/51,) known as Sting, is an English singer, songwriter,…
#SLS — “Bones” by The Killers
When I saw Jim’s prompt, I had no particular song in mind but I wanted one that had bones in it. Something for the listener to gnaw on when they heard it. Doing a YouTube search with bone, this one popped up. Have you ever listened to an album and apprehended it via the musical…
FFF 55 — Release Radar week faves
I’ve started to listen to release radar again. Now that I have a ginormous number of liked music and musicians they can base customized new release playlists on them. The playlists run from Friday to Thursday, so this batch is from 10/10-10/16. Every one of these songs are winners in my book. DAMFINE :) I’ve…
