Song We Like: I Hate Christmas by Tight Solid
Songs We LikeThis song is as depressed and excited and angry as Christmas probably should be, and certainly is. His girlfriend went to Hawaii. Swear by the Devil never to spend New Year’s apart. (Featured on our #33 Podcast, Satan’s Eggnog.)
Song We Like: I Hate Christmas by Default American
Songs We LikeA short, mournful Christmas carol that won’t remind you of Christmas at all. Beautiful. (Featured on our #33 Podcast, Satan’s Eggnog.)
Song We Like: Epilogue by Kurse
Songs We LikeGet your druid on and stand around a fire. The music will make you move, in a rhythmic, kind of thrashy way. It’s delicious, particularly in darkness. (Featured on our #33 Podcast, Satan’s Eggnog.)
Song We Like: Autopilot by Errol Bateman
Songs We Like
Errol Bateman is blessed with one of those haunting girl-singer kind of voices, but she doesn’t take it for granted. Her songs are well-constructed, have an organized flow, and take you someplace with meaning. (Featured on our #33 Podcast, Satan’s Eggnog.)
Song We Like: Amazing Grace by Vienna Ditto
Songs We LikeWe love everything Vienna Ditto does. It’s almost certain that this production was not as effortless to make as it sounds…But maybe it was. Talent should be easy. (Featured on our #33 Podcast, Satan’s Eggnog.)
Song We Like: Hombre Sin Nombre by Los Barbos
Songs We LikeDon’t ever tell us what this song means, because we prefer to believe they’re revealing the secrets of the Freemasons and the location of the ark of the covenant. The singer is gutteral and passionate and we actually don’t care what he’s singing about.(Featured on our #32 Podcast, Dave Grohl and Frenemy Derek)
Song We Like: You Never Check Your Mail by Greenia
Album Reviews, Songs We LikeGreenia is a great, expressive band, – or person -, creative in all directions, revealing and obtuse in its listenable weirdness. We’re fans. (Featured on our #32 Podcast, Dave Grohl and Frenemy Derek)
Song We Like: I’m Clean by Poet Radio
Album Reviews, Songs We LikeThis is a long song, played with a few instruments that go in and out like an orchestra in different waves and movements. Poet Radio is a good band to listen to if you think everything about pop music has already been explored. (Featured on our #32 Podcast, Dave Grohl and Frenemy Derek)
Song We Like: Mary by The Big Dumb
Album Reviews, Songs We LikeShe threw the condom out the window and it caught the light of a passing train. What else needs to be said. This country/rock band from Nashville can capture the imagination and also sing a really good, tuneful, catchy song.
