Never heard of this guy -- and he's from Indiana. 

I’m the words that’ll hit ya; it’ll get ya where you're going so you never go there alone
I’m the melody glued to the memory that you can’t shake when it comes on

Wow

I started listening to him a few months ago and he’s fantastic. The whole album is worth checking out. 
 

He’s from Seymour and the new album was inspired by his dead. Some of the videos have old footage of them with old IU shirts.

Since it’s that time of year, gotta bust this out. That Darlene Love never became a giant star will always befuddle me. What a ridiculous talent. Saw her maybe 6 years ago, had to be pushing 80, and she filled up the freaking room. One of my favorite shows ever.

Pretty big Christmas music guy and that song tops the list. I had never seen that performance before, great stuff.

Came across my feed today and I can’t decide what’s the most awesome thing about it: 1) That this is just an objectively great live cover, 2) That Carmine Appice was 1 of the original wild man drummers, 3) The perfect Austin Powers vibe. Whichever, love it.

Amazing performance

Never seen a drummer hold a drumstick between their fingers like that

Good find!

[Class of '66 Old Fart 84,774]

Never seen this clip before.  And as an ex-drummer fascinated by the drumming in the song.

[OliviaPope40 6,520]

Played this for the reopening.

Sometimes truly superb production and audio engineering can lead to greatness. With that in mind I give you the swirling 1987 power pop classic The Good Earth from the Feelies:

This time of year isn’t complete without the greatest Christmas song ever. The vocals are fine here, though a touch precious, but my goodness, the band is great.

[RaceToTheTop 25,841]

Live version of "Majestic" by Wax Fang.   Long intro and great song.

One of my favorite Xmas things is the family gathering with our Niece’s family. At some point the Nephew in Law and I will start talking music. The dude listens to and recalls more music across more genres than anyone I know. I asked him for a band that was inexplicably IHO not a big deal and he busted out these guys. STRFKR is a Portland indie act with half a dozen or so albums since 2008. I listened to their 1st 2 albums today and they’re terrific.

They are awesome, and their live shows are can’t miss. Just wildly fun. Long ago, when I started really getting into them, they were called “Starf*cker” (with the “u”), but they soon surprised themselves by becoming popular, so they wisely decided to make their name more marquee friendly.
