| Shelter from the Storm Bob Dylan |
Classic folk. via the movie "St. Vincent", though I also read a Harper's article about a guy who might be Bob Dylan's secret son, his mom is clearly referenced in a verse. |
|
| ★ ★ ★ ★ | Call Me By Your Name (Montero Cover) SuperKnova |
A beautiful layer of guitar added to the song. maybe via this reddit but mostly from tumblr maybe? |
| Worried Blues Gladys Bentley |
Blues. I adore the trumpet singing she does, it's so rich and detailed. Via this cracked article. |
|
| Mind Your Own Business Delta 5 |
New Wave Girlz. via the recent Apple Ad about privacy |
|
| ★ ★ ★ ★ | Chug Jug With You Rok Nardin |
This sweet fan song about the game Fortnight redone with a huge how to make a blockbuster movie trailer vibe. via tumblr. |
| Traffic Cone Traffic Jam Moon Hooch |
Funk band stuck in traffic. Johnny the drummer mentioned this crew to me. |
|
| good 4 u Olivia Rodrigo |
sk8r boi / early 2000s energy here. Introduced via her exposure as artist and reference on SNL. |
|
| ★ ★ ★ ★ | Fine Azz Kamillion |
Dig the percussion in this strong woman hiphop. Title to HBO's "A Black Lady Sketch Show" |
| Riches and Wonders (Remastered) The Mountain Goats |
The lowfi aesthetic is amazing, like I just love how you hear the recording machine itself. I forget how I stumbled into this song but I always think about how much author John Green adores this group. |
|
| Highlights Courtney Love (Lois Maffeo + Pat Maley band) |
I think this band's name is kind of hilarious. Like the song's Goofus and Gallant reference. Idiosyncratic backing music for this Simon Biles slow motion video. |
|
| I'd rather have a bottle in front of me (than a frontal lobotomy) Randy Hanzlick |
A Dr. Demento Classic...probably kind of insensitive now. |
|
| Got It Boomin Oren Major & The Grand Mess |
I like the big blatt horns of this hiphop. from a "Love Death and Robots" episode. |
|
| Prove It On Me Ma Rainey |
Interesting early gay anthem. Trumpeteer Annie of "Annie and the Fur Trappers" mentioned this song after I mentioned Gladys Bentley's "Worried Blues" |
|
| Yard Sale, No. 1 The Exploding Voids |
Indie pop. I ran into The Exploding Voids when they used what became one of my Top 5 ever songs As It Comes. And they just released a new album which I am adding to my collection a song at a time. |
|
| Watermelon Man Maynard Ferguson |
Jazz and Mayo on the high trumpet. A staple of some of my honk bands, ken from "New Magnolia" mentioned this version when I suggested he had it to his band's set. |
|
| Lean (Quickie Mart Remix) Boyfriend |
A bit too repetitive but some nice sounds. from "Awkwafina Is Nora from Queens" |
|
| How Come My Dog Don't Bark (When You Come Around) Dr. John |
Great storytelling in song form. My friend Sophie asked if "I ain't got nobody" was well known, and my other friend Dave mentioned the line referencing it in this song. |
|
| ★ ★ ★ ★ | Home Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros |
Cheesy fun faux folksy romance. From songs you hate more than anything. |
| Accusations The Exploding Voids |
I do like the soft voice of the Voids. |
|
| ★ ★ ★ ★ | Black Betty Ram Jam |
Dig the drums and general rollicking nature. From songs you hate more than anything. Guess I'm a contrarian. Though even after looking on the wikipeida page I'm not sure if there's a weird racial portion of this. |
