music:response

Ok so Im gonna try and regularly drop music picks. This is the first installment. I won't necessarily be making recommendations on new music, just whatever Im really into at the moment.

Rise Against/Siren Song of the Counter Culture
Some of the best punk I've heard in a long ass time. These guys have a political agenda (as you can tell from the name) but don't we all? Check out tracks "Give it all" and "dancing for rain"

Motion City Soundtrack/Commit this to Memory
A recommendation from Vito and Booger. Airy vocals over synths and a killer rhythm section their newest album "Commit this to memory" is definitely the soundtrack of your next road trip.

Dinosaur Jr./Without a Sound
One of the quintessential albums of the early 90's alt rock movement, J Mascis found his niche with the slacker following that bands like Malkumus' Pavement later capitalized on, embodies with lyrics like " I feel the pain of everyone/then I feel nothing"

Oasis/What's the Story Morning Glory
The band's infamy that stemmed from a comment by frontman Noel Gallagher saying how they were better than the beatles is what was ultimately their commercial downfall. Luckily from a musical standpoint they rock and rock hard as only brits know how. WOnderwall is prob. the worst song on this album and its definitely one of my all time fav songs if that helps putting things into perspective.
