Music to stay sane by.
It’s been a tough week. Here are 10 songs that helped me keep what’s left of my sanity.
Cheap Trick: Dream Police
Pure pop for then people.
Lagwagon: Razor Burn
Growing one’s beard out to mourn a break-up isn’t a bad idea.
B-Movie: Nowhere Girl
Forgotten early 80’s synth pop. Except, I never forgot.
NOFX: Creeping Out Sara
Fat Mike attempts to pick up a tried and true lesbian. And tries all the wrong moves.
The Carrie Nations: Look On Up At The Bottom
Fictitious movie band with a “groovy” sound sets the stage for Josie And The Pussycats.
Thin Lizzy: Cowboy Song
Epic, as only an Irish kid dreaming of the open plains could dream.
Spizzenergi: Where’s Captain Kirk
One day, William Shatner will depart for the cosmic rainbow bridge. On that day, we shall all mourn.
Slayer: Guilty Of Being White
As supposed Satanists cover a straight edge song, take a step and miss the whole first rung.
*Dinosaur Jr.: Tarpit
Aptly named.
Johnny Cash: The Mercy Seat
One would think that Nick Cave would trade fates with The Man In Black if the lure was to have sung this as well as Cash did.
