Song We Like: Artificial Things by Eerie Point

Song We Like: Artificial Things by Eerie Point

Indie music and blues rock crash together in a way that is both poetic and powerful. This guy has some big lungs and the band really knows what they’re doing. We love having this kind of company on the road to ruin. (Featured on our #38 podcast, Dating Advice)

Song We Like: Ego by Jeff Lipman

Song We Like: Ego by Jeff Lipman

Brash, and sort of sassy in a male way. Possibly the kind of song that would be featured in a cabaret or dancehall, but only if it’s sung exactly like this, by exactly this person. #beatles, #playa (Featured on our #38 podcast, Dating Advice)

Song We Like: Let Me Live in Your House by Ben Farley

Song We Like: Let Me Live in Your House by Ben Farley

Loud and crashing and fast and rhythmic; sometimes the rhythm is so loud and crashing that it changes, which is the best part. Ben Farley’s vocals make him seem like someone you wouldn’t want to live in your house, which is the second best part. (Featured on our #38 podcast, Dating Advice)

Song We Like: Fuckin Spaceships (the Sequel) by Acid Carousel

Song We Like: Fuckin Spaceships (the Sequel) by Acid Carousel

We’re fucking partying till dawn! This band likes to get nuts and sing about love in the style of the good ol psychadelic days. And they also like fucking spaceships. It’s the future! (Featured on our #37 podcast, Sitting on a Membrane.)

Song We Like: Black Rose by Lil Tone and the Unknowns

Song We Like: Black Rose by Lil Tone and the Unknowns

This song pushes all of the many, many buttons of almost-famous podcaster JP Kennedy. It also features male backup singers, a model for this new millennia of music. Good job, Belgium. (Featured on our #37 podcast, Sitting on a Membrane.)

Song We Like: Sleepyhead by Liz Cooper and the Stampede

Song We Like: Sleepyhead by Liz Cooper and the Stampede

The next big, big voice out of Nashville. Her soul is what makes it rock & roll. (Plus the drummer playing with those mallets.) (Featured on our #37 podcast, Sitting on a Membrane.)

Song We Like: I Just Can’t Say No by Echo of the Elms

Song We Like: I Just Can’t Say No by Echo of the Elms

A rock-band-rock-band from Lawrence, Kansas brings us the hookiest chorus we’ve heard in quite a while. Listen once and have it in your head forever. (Featured on our #37 podcast, Sitting on a Membrane.)

Song We Like: Like U Do by Seagulls

Song We Like: Like U Do by Seagulls

An extremely modern song about love and priorities, presented in an extremely-modern, thoughtfully-produced way. `Look after me like you do your car’ is an idea whose time has come. (Featured on our #37 podcast, Sitting on a Membrane.)

Song We Like: Open Door by North by North

Song We Like: Open Door by North by North

North by North sounds like Queen+Foreigner+Supergrass, plus a big dash of the White Stripes. Operatic and road-weary, they are a Meg and Jack for 2019. Featured on our #36 podcast, Revenue Streams.
