This Track Is Fire!

  Here's all of the music that I covered for the month of July, 2025. As always, I highly encourage your to actually  purchase  the music that I share here on this blog.  Enjoy!

There was this wonderfully weird time in the 90s when British rock bands infused their songs with dance music. For me, it was wonderful. Sure, there were hits and misses, but in my opinion, this is one of the better ones. While I get that Happy Mondays were pretty huge in the UK, other than this song I don't think tey made much of an impression here in the States. But at least we got this, and it's a gem! And, pardon me for the dad joke, but HAPPY MONDAY!

I've been aware of Yusuf Islam (fka Cat Stevens) for as long as I can recall. I remember that I had a friend in high school that adored him, but other than cursory knowledge of his hits I admit that I did not know much about him nor his oeuvre. That changed slightly this past Spring/Summer. I went to a vinyl/CD sale here in town and fingered through various vintage albums when I came across Teaser And The Firecat  for the small sum of $5. I had started my affinity for vinyl recorded and pressed during the 70s because those albums and the songs on them were produced for vinyl, and honestly, I think they sound better on said medium. Sure, the cover was a bit beat up, but the record itself was in pristine collection, so for a five spot, why not?

This is a young blog, so I am hesitant to highlight a band more than once, but at the same time I want this blog to naturally reflect those songs that I am currently enjoying. So, while I've already linked to multiple songs by Pixel Grip ,  Nine Inch Nails, and Boys Noize already this year, we can add HEALTH to that list now . I think one of the things that I like about HEALTH in particular is that they are so hard to pigeonhole. Are they metal? Are they industrial? Are the electronic? Are they noise rock? The answer is an emphatic YES to all of the above, and more. This is the first single off of their forthcoming album Conflict DLC  and if the entire album is like this I will be a very happy man indeed. I can feel my face melting already, and for me, that's a good thing. Enjoy! CONFLICT DLC by HEALTH
