Song We like: Fall Into You by Fox Grin

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)

Song We Like: Get it On by Pinky Doodle Poodle

Song We Like: Get it On by Pinky Doodle Poodle

These two Japanese kids are embracing American culture so hard that they spend their whole lives touring around small clubs in the southeast. From what we’ve seen, their show is even better than their sound. Here’s the itunes link to Get it On. Check it out. (Featured on our #42 podcast)

Song We Like: If He Don’t by Reese McHenry

Song We Like: If He Don’t by Reese McHenry


A ferocious hurricane of a woman who will appear in your living room and scream at you. She completely overwhelms (and sometimes trades out) the three men who back her up. We want to hear her music playing until we feel so bad that we feel better. (Featured on our #41 podcast, The Revolütion Will Be Puppetized)

Song We Like: If You Were Mine by Nova One

Song We Like: If You Were Mine by Nova One


Lighter and sweeter than cotton candy, just the way a pretty pink-haired girl wearing black underwear and black stockings should sound. Particularly if she’s backed up by a band of identical pink-haired people of various genders wearing the same outfit. (Featured on our #41 podcast, The Revolütion Will Be Puppetized)

Song We Like: My Girl (Pass the Mic) by Gabriel Bernini

Song We Like: My Girl (Pass the Mic) by Gabriel Bernini


Hello, hello everyone’s so beautiful out there tonight! Here is a good song to listen to if you are sure that life is terrible and everyone hates everything. (Evidently not.) Gabriel Bernini keeps it simple while making it all unnecessarily complicated at the same time. So full of love. (Featured on our #41 podcast, The Revolütion Will Be Puppetized)

Song We Like: Back Alley Brats by The Retinas

Song We Like: Back Alley Brats by The Retinas


The Retinas invite us to the back alleys of Philly, or maybe just to your bedroom to really get through some thoughts. These thoughts are thicker and fuzzier than your favorite winter sweater, with some deep 21st century melodies and harmonies down in there somewhere.(Featured on our #41 podcast, The Revolütion Will Be Puppetized)

Song We Like: Bombay Sapphire by This Electric Reptile

Song We Like: Bombay Sapphire by This Electric Reptile

John swears that this is Roxy Music in deep, deep, top secret disguise. Cinnamon thinks that talking to a horse and certain other phraseology hints at Eastern European origin. But any way you listen to it, this song will stay in your head, and it will make you want to drink gin. Right now. (Featured on our #40 podcast, A Human Disaster.)

Song We Like: Checkin’ Out Late by Maxpain and the Groovies

Song We Like: Checkin’ Out Late by Maxpain and the Groovies


A harder, bluesier festival kind of song for these harder, bluesier, post-festival times. This is a slightly sad-edged, fast-groove song about partying on the road, perfect for those times when you’re thinking wistfully about your beer-shotgunning days.(Featured on our #40 podcast, A Human Disaster.)

 

Song We Like: Velcro by Thresher

Song We Like: Velcro by Thresher


Post-hardcore means when you add big guitar melodies on top of monotone, distorted, driving grooves. At least that is our calculation, based on this song. John’s special pick of the week. (Featured on our #40 podcast, A Human Disaster.)
