Everyone Do the Shuffle
For old times sake, I'ma do one of my favorite things of old: put my playlist on shuffle and talk about music. And away we go...!
"Bag of Hammers" - Local H
Humble beginnings for the duo. Maintains to be one of my favorite songs from their debut Hamfisted album. Straight up garage-y and all around raucous. I'm sure I would lose my mind if they ever played it live while I was in attendance. It has been done, as I have a video clip of the insanity. But to witness it would be awesome.
"Hypersonic" - Jane's Addiction
Anyone else hear that apparently Jane's Addiction is getting back together... ...again? And apparently even Sean Avery is joining the ranks this time. While it's awesome, I get tired of hearing about this band's break ups and reunions. It's almost as bad as that couple in high school that broke up every three weeks only to get back together the next week. Props for the band, but still make up your mind.
"Drag" - Placebo
Solid album track. I still find it a little ironic that I'm getting into this 90s staple band via their latest album, released in 2007. Oh well, whatever works.
"Born Like This" - Three Days Grace
If not too cliche, then a listenable track. I don't immediately hate 3DG. And in Bobbo terminology, that is a compliment.
"Serial Thrilla" - Prodigy
Love it. Hard-trance is one of my guilty pleasures, but I haven't found a lot who does it better than this era of Prodigy.
"Night Bird Flying" - Jimi Hendrix
When surrounded by all the other greats, it's hard to notice how good this song is, particularly the guitar breakdown toward the end. I look up and smile as I see my newly minted Jimi Hendrix poster displayed right over my computer. Huzzah!
"Hours" - TV on the Radio
Essentially the track that pushed Cookie Mountain from good to amazing. Low key yet rollicking. This band is so strange. They'll pluck out amazing gems like this one. But then they go freaking crazy looney toons two tracks later. I suppose that's part of their charm though.
"Drag the Waters" - Pantera
Props for Rex Brown. Not just because of this song, but for being, essentially, the fourth man in a four man band. But when you play behind absolute legends like Dimebag, Phil Anselmo, and Vinnie Paul, somebody's got to hang their hat last.
"Dread Rock" - Oakenfold
Hard-trance making itself known this time, it seems. I can't agree with all of Oakenfold's stuff. After all, he collaborated with the douches from Crazy Town. But for the most part, I give him my approval.
"When it's Over" - Sugar Ray
Synonymous with my summers in Connecticut, Sugar Ray is. Granted, this song isn't so keen. And Mark McGrath is still a tool. But still, I verily listen to this pop-whore band once in occasion.
"Always On My Mind" - Phantom Planet
Let it be told: post-Jason Schwartzman Phantom Planet >>>>>>> Phantom Planet w/ Schwartzman. It was a distraction to the music. "HAY GUYZ! I am pathetic actor, but look, I DRUM IN COOL BAND!". Good job for ditching him, guys.
"Transformer" - Smashing Pumpkins
One of my least favorite Pumpkins' b-sides. And yet, it's still better than anything they've done recently. Fuck you, Zeitgeist.
"Hey, Johnny Park!" - Foo Fighters
I have been on a huge Foo Fighters kick lately. It's just reaffirming my love of everything Dave Grohl. I'm about to delve into his Probot side project in hopes that it's just as good.
"Good Morning, Beautiful" - Deftones
From their self-titled album; an album that gets no praise whatsoever. There is nothing wrong with that. It really only has a couple good songs and the rest is just skip-button fodder. This song is not among the good ones.
"The World You Love" - Jimmy Eat World
Silly emo kids. It grates if you listen to it too much, but every once in awhile, sometimes that jimminy sugar dripped vocals makes you smile.
"Let's Fight" - Super Mario RPG
Maintains to be the most happy-go-lucky fight song of any video game.
"Remote Control" - the Clash
This song brings me back to Lyndon State College. One time, the teacher was late. So I put my CD player on, playing this CD, and put my head down. When I picked my head up, not only was she there, the class was half over. Whoops! Thanks, Clash!
"The Lunarians" - Nobuo Uematsu (Final Fantasy IV)
The beginning of this song used to spook me out.
"Told You So" - Drowning Pool
Why do I still love nu-metal? I just do. <3
"Combustible" - Rustic Overtones
As modern rock as the Tones ever get. If ever there was a song they should've played at the concert, I wish it was this one. Still, a perfect concert experience regardless.
"Institutionalized" - Suicidal Tendencies
This song is absolutely hilarious. ... Just... hilarious... "All I wanted was a PEPSI!"
"Old Man and Me" - Hootie and the Blowfish
For some reason, I really think that this was once a Garth Brooks song at one time. I know it's not, but it has the built-in twang that he would abuse in a version he would do.
"Inner Light Spectrum" - 311
Ah yes, I wish everyone a belated 311 Day! I celebrated by listening to all of the band's material, as I do every year.
....Alright, I'm done. Enjoy your day!
