Black Grape - Dadi Wuz a Badi



Out of the dust (angel dust?) of the Happy Mondays came Black Grape in the early-mid 90s. And this was always my favorite song by them. Danceable and badass at the same time.

Carbon Leaf - Mellow Tone



I'm not a massive fan of Carbon Leaf, but the songs I do like by them, I really really like. Just now, walking down the halls of Shirlington House, one of me neighbors is blasting this song and it made me go looking for it. This is a homemade vid that's really interestingly done with some very creative elements.

Secret Machines - The Road Leads Where It's Led



Space rock shakes me to my core, and these guys are probably my favorite space rock band these days.

Mike Doughty - His Truth is Marching On



I don't know if anyone out there pulls chord progressions that snap me to attention any better than Mike Doughty does. Love the low sludgy bass.

Primus - Jerry was a Race Car Driver



I think I like this version even more than the original. Love the guy in the front with the orange wig for no particular reason.

Three Awesome Songs By Failure

Words can't express what a huge fan of these guys I am / was. The Tool-like sound and mix is not a coincidence, Ken Andrews, Failure's lead singer, collaborated and produced many of Tool's albums. Failure's cut from the same cloth, but I think they're more melodic. Enjoy!
