🎶 Crucial Track for today: "Voir Dire" by Die Spitz →
Some albums have a good opening track, but the 2nd track is totally killer. What's your favorite 2nd track song?
Choosing this one after seeing Die Spitz tonight. 🤘

What's your favorite new track released this week?
Really enjoying this album that came out last Friday.
🎶 Crucial Track for today: "Civilian" by Wye Oak →
Share a track by your favorite vocalist of all-time.
So many choices, but going with Jenn Wasner from Wye Oak. Her work with that band, Flock of Dimes and Bon Iver is top notch.
🎶 Crucial Track for today: "Pay To Cum" by Bad Brains →
Out this week: the earliest studio recordings from Bad Brains. 1979 at Inner Ear Studios in Arlington - still the early days during Don Zientara's transition to punk and hardcore music.
Love the part of the relaxing Saturday when I sprain my knee running from a German shepherd a few blocks from home. At least I was able to save my dog from getting hurt. 😡

🎶 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.
