Also, this song is really good and kept Alphaville from being a one-hit wonder, making them something that much more rare: a two-hit wonder.

...if we are talking about composers that are still alive I love Max Richter, Clint Mansell, Danny Elfman, Nils Frahm, and now, apparently Lorien Testard.

Black Nail Cabaret "Totem and Taboo"
Here, on the second anniversary of the release of CHRYSANTHEMUM, I wanted to highlight another fantasic track by this band that deserves far more attention...

Sturgill Simpson "Sing Along"
If you haven't heard this song or this album yet, you really should remedy that because, in my opinion, it's just that good.

Nine Inch Nails "Ringfinger"
I saw [Nine In Nails] in August with old friends and it was an amazing experience...

...As an adult I still do not fully understand the lyrics, but listening to this song (and entire album) on vinyl brings me deep, nostalgic happiness that I can't quite put into words.

California Gold "Stand Close"
Yeah, I know that today is Friday the 13th..., but it's also the day before Valentine's Day, so I have chosen to be sappy. Deal with it...

Sleek Teeth "The River"
I've been listening to Sleek Teeth for a couple of years now and they always bring the EBM goodness.

Ultravox βViennaβ
I donβt think that I appreciated this song back when it first came out because I was just too young. I don't think that I really heard it properly until I was in my teens/20s...

Pop Will Eat Itself "Ich Bin Ein Auslander"
I chose this song today because while these lyrics speak to me, they seem to be much louder in my head as of late.

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young "Ohio"
This song echoes through history to us today. If you stood with Kent State in Ohio before (either literally or figuratively), stand with Minneapolis now.

U2 "Pride (In The Name of Love)"
Clearly I should have posted a link to this yesterday, but on the day celebrating the life of Martin Luther King, Jr., it is appropriate to play this song.

The Dead Milkmen "Bitchinβ Camaro"
Once again, if you're Gen X & thinking about songs about cars, well, of course you're going to think of "Bitchin' Camaro" by The Dead Milkmen.

Ministry "Jesus Built My Hotrod"
Come August this song will be 35 years old but for me it feels as vibrant as it did when when I was in high school.
