Song We Like: The Sea and the Sky by Holiday Music Motel


It’s really a motel, and they songwriter events four times a year. This song was created by four resident geniuses who were playing spin the bottle. Every single thing about this is great. (Featured on our #43 podcast.)

Song We Like: Moving Pianos by Direct Hit!


Direct Hit! are four feminist men from Milwaukee who want to sing at you and scream at you. They are so easy to like that we feel not super smart about liking them – most people seem to. (Featured on our #43 podcast.)

Song We Like: Let The Reigns Hang Loose by Roy Arbuckle


A sixty-something dude from Northern Ireland who sounds like Johnny Cash’s mournful brother. Roy Arbuckle is so legit that John suspects maybe he is fake. Thumbs up! (Featured on our #43 podcast.)

Song We Like: Yesterday is Dead by Fantomex


Math rock in a digestible form, brought to you by some good looking, aerobically-inclined people from Morganton NC. Just watching their set will give you a workout. (Featured on our #43 podcast.)

Song We Like: Lady Liberty by Dressy Bessy


A band that does all kinds of rock and roll expression has a Wilson Phillips moment: Big, direct melodies and harmonies get right to the point here. Dressy Bessy has been rocking Denver since 1996. (Featured on our #43 podcast.)

Song We Like: Can’t Do Drugz by Megative

Sorry, we’re cooler than you because we found this band before you did. Ha. (Featured on our #42 podcast)

Song We Like: Wales by Voodoo

Our first Costa Rican band brings you a great, great, great song to lie down on the floor to. Not that we’ve tried lying on the floor and listening to it. But if we had, we could attest that it is a nice experience. Set it to repeat and let it last an hour, like it should. (Featured on our #42 podcast)

Song We Like: Obnoxious Gas by The Satanic Togas


Honestly, having a farty-sound on the song is not enough to make us like it. (Yes we like the farty sound, who wouldn’t. But it’s really good music too.) So much screeching, so much fuzz, so much enthusiasm, so much melody, so much farting. (Featured on our #42 podcast)

Song We like: Fall Into You by Fox Grin


This song is indie-indie music. (Indie-indie is a term that we just made up. You’ll know it when you hear it.) And this song right here is the apotheosis of indie-indie music. We adore it. (Featured on our #42 podcast)
