🎶 Crucial Track for today: "blocking a scene you can't remember" by PISS →

Share your favorite song that never says the title in the lyrics.

I wasn't sure if I was going to write about the new release from PISS for Crucial Tracks. It's one of those records that has songs that I think would be much more impactful in a live setting... and from what I read that's very much the case with this band.... but I also didn't want to skip it either, because the songs ARE impactful and thought provoking. Which seems to be more of a rare thing these days....

Then tonight, I was giving the latest Week in Review mixtape a listen (it's really good, btw) and this song came on... and it reminded me why I do need to include this album. There aren't many hardcore/punk songs that can drive you to tears, but this is definitely one of them...

More to come.

🎶 Crucial Track for today: "Bulls On Parade" by Rage Against the Machine →

What's your favorite protest song?

Weapons, not food, not homes, not shoes Not need, just feed the war, cannibal animal, I Walk the corner to the rubble That used to be a library, line up to the mind cemetery now What we don't know keeps the contracts alive and movin' They don't gotta burn the books, they just remove 'em While arms warehouses fill as quick as the cells Rally 'round the family, pockets full of shells

I've only posted one RATM song and this prompt definitely needs to change that...

🎶 Crucial Track for today: "I Know You Are (But What Am I Thinking)" by @ →

Bought this record yesterday on Bandcamp and today learned that Doug Dulgarian has been diagnosed with cancer. 😞

So this entry goes out to him and a full recovery.

Fuck cancer.

🎶 Crucial Track for today: "Marianne" by Fontaines D.C. →

Dog walk soundtrack.

🎶 Crucial Track for today: "Pemberton Red" by Regulator Watts →

A song you've seen performed live, or would really like to see performed live?

I luckily got to see Hoover at their reunion show in 2004, after missing them during their original run. Regulator Watts I never got to see, so when this song came on during our road trip today, I knew it was the pick for today's prompt.

🎶 Crucial Track for today: "Demolition" by Fontaines D.C. →

Picked up the new Fontaines on vinyl today via Bandcamp. I hated not supporting local shops, but my usuals were charging a big markup and the Bandcamp version gets you the MP3s... so I went that route this time. Loving the new record so far.
