This Track Is Fire!

I discovered this track thanks to the custom playlist that was created for me by the excellent  Turn & Work blog , so be sure to check them out! You can find the entire awesome playlist  here .   This song has this muffled drum sound that breaks into femaile vocals before this loud, guitar-right-up-to-your-ear-while-I-scream-in-your-face-but-also-kinda-poppy aspect jumps in. I don't know what to call that, but I love it. Throw your hands! Angel's Mess by WAAX

It's been almost a year since Shalee and I were able to see one of our bucket list acts, Jack White, and as I was reflecting on that this morning I realized there here on my music blog (which started after said show) I have neither posted a Jack White nor White Stripes track. What is wrong with me? As we approach that personal musical milestone for us I am reminded of heading to Detroit last year to visit Third Man records, where I finally grabbed this album on vinyl. True, I often like the boop-boop-beep, but there's just something about the raw rock'n roll of it all when it comes to Jack White. I fucking love this song. Oh! And he's the musical guest on SNL this weekend . Note: I'm not saying you have to buy it on vinyl, and I have no science to back me on this, but it certainly feels like all of Jack White's music is best experienced on vinyl, but that's just me. Enjoy! No Name by Jack White

I first heard of The Bobby Lees from my friend Lisa, whether it was this track specifically or another, I am not quite certain (welcome to your 50s, amiright?), but what I do know is that I would never have even heard of The Bobby Lees if it hadn't been for her. So, life lesson, there, kids: get you a great group of friends who share awesome music with you, because it will pay off in spades. Oh, and I just bought this track during Bandcamp Friday last week. Happy Monday! Napoleon by The Bobby Lees

A peek behind the curtains here: I usually write up these posts well in advance. Because of my ADHD I go through bursts of creativity followed by dayslong, or weekslong, fallow periods. More on that here . I wrote up my post on Lambrini Girls on September, 7 (Sunday night) as well as my forthcoming post for Friday and two other posts. I realized there was a common thread between my Monday and Friday posts (feminism, irony) and I thought to myself, "the entry I have scheduled for Wednesday doesn't really fit the theme I unintentionally created; I wonder if I have other songs that I love that would fit that bill?" Readers, of course I do. I think I looked for less than a minute. Here comes THICK to the rescue! I was first introduced to THICK years back by my dear friend Sean, who seems to know all of the up-and-coming punk bands, which is pretty impressive for a dude in his 50s. He thought I'd like THICK, and yes, yes I do, so very much. While this isn't the first s...
