Human Radio - Me & Elvis
NOTE: embedding this video is forbidden, but you can click on it to go to the proper YouTube page. Please do, it's cool.
For some reason, whenever I get nostalgic for the 1987-1995 music time frame (in my mind, the greatest period of musicmaking in my lifetime), this song comes to mind. Gotta love a band with electric violin. Yes, they came long before DMB, shut up.

The Call - Let the Day Begin
Audio only. In the stint between my first and second attempts at college, this song was one of my friends' favorite drinking games. I'll let you guess how it was played.
The Pursuit of Happiness - Cigarette Dangles
These guys always blew the roof off the Bayou when they came to town. Just straight up rock and roll.
The Refreshments - Banditos
These guys are still cranking out stupid-fun rock and roll, though not with each other.
Judybats - She Lives (In a Time of Her Own)
these guys had a run of minor success making bizzarro world pop music. Kinda like the 1990s version of Fountains of Wayne.
Mary My Hope - Wildman Childman
These guys were about four years too early for the breakout of grunge. A hidden gem in the back of my CD collection.
World Leader Pretend - Bang Theory
Another band who I'm not sure even exists anymore. They hit from New Orleans just before Katrina hit. I know they played some benefit shows just after, but if they've done anything since, I don't know.
Failure - Stuck On You
How these guys never broke big is beyond me. Ken Andrews, the lead singer, does more producing than performing now, but he left an archive of tremendous tunes. Look for their (original) version of The Nurse Who Loved Me coming soon.
