42 – Jungle

October 12, 2018October 12, 2018 joegard1Leave a comment

  People tell me I’m a somewhat of a vanguard – I blaze my own trail. When people zig, I zag. I march to the beat of my own drum. The grain? I go against it. So at Lollapalooza a couple months ago, when it was time to either join the flock of people to… Continue reading 42 – Jungle

41 – 2018 Lollapalooza Preview

It happened again… I vowed to never again go a full four days, yet here I am chugging water and blasting Lollapalooza playlists on Spotify in anticipation of this weekend’s big event. Look, I think there will be a day where my FOMO will subside, when the rigors of going to a music festival for… Continue reading 41 – 2018 Lollapalooza Preview

40 – Cut Copy

  My favorite bands typically possess a few common traits – a cool name, an instantly-recognizable sound, a song you can throw on at a party, an engaging live show, a not-so-subtle hint of some older hip artist like Talking Heads or David Bowie. You get the point. Being able to cross the majority of… Continue reading 40 – Cut Copy

39 – FIDLAR

It’s no big secret that punk rock has changed quite a bit over the years. The once-edgy, anti-authoritative sounds of The Clash and Ramones now ring loud across karaoke bars in America. The breakneck speed and snarl of Reagan-era punk bands like Bad Brains and Minor Threat gave way to the more melodic, poppy sounds… Continue reading 39 – FIDLAR

To all the haters out there: Yes, this is indeed the third female singer/male instrumentalist duo featured on this wonderful website. I’m not ashamed, I’ll be the first to admit – I’m just a sucker for duos. Black Keys…Royal Blood…Japandroids… White Stripes? Hall & Oats?! Come ON people, duos are amazing. There’s just something about… Continue reading 38 – Beach House

  Unlike like so many others in the world, it wasn’t hard for Molly Rankin to join the family business. Young people everywhere struggle with the decision to either pursue their dreams, or “play it safe” and follow in their parents’ footsteps. I get it, its tough. However, if your dad played fiddle in one… Continue reading 37 – Alvvays

  HO HO HO everyone! We made it, the holiday season is finally upon us! For weeks, we’ve been subjected to near-constant, nausea-inducing advertising on our television and billboards on the drive home. Each day, we’ve been fighting a losing battle as we try to avoid picking at the leftover food delivered to each of… Continue reading 32 – Christmas Songs

30 – LCD Soundsystem

November 10, 2017 joegard1Leave a comment

​     LCD Soundsystem is a textbook example of a band who has found unlikely music super-stardom. Nothing about the group and their rise to glory has been traditional in the slightest. The songs themselves, often 6 or 7 minutes in length, alternate between electronic, riff-driven dance and noisy punk rock. Their blend of… Continue reading 30 – LCD Soundsystem

      Thomas Earl Petty was more than just a musician – he was an American institution. I didn’t just grow up on Tom Petty, EVERYONE grew up on Tom Petty. No joke, I’m pretty sure every American child already has full knowledge of the lyrics to “Free Fallin” and “American Girl” when they… Continue reading 28 – Tom Petty

      There’s a growing trend in the electronic indie world these days: male producer teams up with female singer to create fun indie-pop dance music. It’s a simple, fun formula. It works. Look no further than the success of Phantogram, who just played the main stage at Lollapalooza for the zillionth time, or… Continue reading 25 – Sylvan Esso
