Song We Like: Dreams by Fertile Hump

Song We Like: Dreams by Fertile Hump

We broke our rules for this song. We don’t ever play the same band back-to-back, but Cinnamon and I disagree on our favorite song from this band. I love “Run Free” and Cinnamon loves “Dreams.” (I also adore “Green eyed girl.”) “Dreams” is stripped back and showcases the vocal talent. This woman is the female Eric Burdon of The Animals. She makes me believe in past lives, cause this voice has witnessed war and peace, the rise and collapse of civilizations, and a thousand years of broken hearts.

Song We Like: To The Lonely Ones by The Crazy Squeeze

Oh this is my song. Massive catchy glam garage rock riffs, shouted sung verses, and a huge bar brawl sing-a-long chorus. This must be such amazing fun to play and total fun to walk into a club/bar and have this gem playing on stage. This is a clear example that underground music is the best art form on the planet.

Song We Like: I’m Not The One You’re Mad At by Wallin-Jison

More legit Southern Appalachian dancing blues from our friends in Sweden. Jesus. I want these boys playing in a barn as I take my honey for a spin around the room. Guaranteed to bring color to her cheeks. So much love and sweetness from two of the toughest looking bastards on the planet. Featured on our #75 podcast at www.hlycrp.com.

Song We Like: Frances by The Disposables

There was always something undoubtedly funky about Derek Frye – his previous band The Dirty Badgers was the funkiest hardest-rocking mountain blues band ever. Frances leans further into the funk, going electronic drum beats and hooky synth – like Prince or INXS. Oh there’s something about Frances – and the way that she dances.

Song We Like: Out Of Touch by Fruit & Flowers

Song We Like: Out Of Touch by Fruit & Flowers

Super cool post-punk pop. The minimalist groove funk combination of the drums and bass utterly kills me. I’d go out on the dance floor all by myself if this kicked off from stage. Nice chiming 80s guitars and wonderful harmonies. Oooooohhhhhh-oooooooohhhhh. Featured on our #74 podcast at www.hlycrp.com.

Song We Like: Bad Ideas by Willa Rae & the Minor Arcana

Wanna know how I know that this song has hit a heart? – Because I drove around with Cinnamon this week and she played it on the car stereo every time. This whole song – specifically the lines “I get ideas, very bad ideas” is just a divine moment of inspiration. Willa Rae is a total badass – and sweet baby Jesus she has very “bad ideas.” Featured on our #74 podcast at www.hlycrp.com.

Song We Like: Wounded Wulf by Nathaniel Riley

Thanks to Nathaniel Riley for bringing some heartbreaking beauty and darkness to our podcast. The dynamics in this song are truly gorgeous, building up waves of massive guitar and then silence, and slowly building back into this bleak groove. From someone who also walks the dark pathways – thank you this beauty. Featured on our #74 podcast at www.hlycrp.com.

Song We Like: Straight To Your Heart by Nasty Rumours

Some songs just make me so jealous. I want to write something this simple and catchy someday. We love the song, the clapping solo, the melody and hooks – and especially the back-up singers. I defy you to find something as fun and catchy anywhere. Great guys and great song. Featured on our #74 podcast at www.hlycrp.com.
