I tried really hard earlier this year to do a highlight on music, but it didn’t pick up like I would’ve liked. Along comes Captain Flintheart and suddenly music works for TCM. I liked his post on what he’s been listening to and I think this is a good way for readers to become exposed to new bands. Click on the links to listen to the songs.
Listed in no particular order is what I’ve been rocking to this fine, sexy summer:
- The Eels – “Mr. E’s Beautiful Blues” Daisies of the Galaxy
Very catchy tune. A plus if you remember the movie Road Trip. - Beck – “E-Pro” Guero
Very chill, just like Beck. Good music to drink beer on a roof to. - The Ramones – “Cretin Hop” Ramones Mania
Rush hour traffic song. I usually pop this on when I break away from the herd. - Green Day – “East Jesus Nowhere” 21st Century Breakdown
Very simple song, but Green Day still rocks. - The Killers – “Smile Like You Mean It” Mr. Brightside
Quality song and always pops on when I’m traveling somewhere new for some reason. - The White Stripes – “Black Math” Elephant
Jack White’s guitar riff can give a man the power to run through a concrete wall. - Mudhoney – “Twenty Four” Superfuzz Bigmuff
Matt Lukin is dominant on bass. Enough said. - The Yeah Yeah Yeahs – “Maps” Fever To Tell
Karen O. has a very sexy voice – no denying that. - Eddie Vedder – “Far Behind” Into The Wild
Good song to play at the beginning of a road trip. - Foo Fighters – “My Poor Brain” The Colour And The Shape
