Ten Terrific Tunes Under Two Minutes Long
After Twitter, Facebook, paying your bills, mowing the sheep, completing your bug collection, and waxing your eyelids, do you really have time to spin “Whipping Post” or “Alice’s Restaurant Massacree”? Deep down, you know you’ll never get to the second disc of the Can box set

Listening to the mix today, it sounds like in-jokes and variants in the same place and and… “what I was seeing wasn’t what was happening at all but for awhile our paths did seem to climb.”

“It’s getting very hard to stay” is how a lot of the people in the dust bowl felt. “Every child had a pretty good shot to get at least as far as their old man got, but something happened on the way to that place means that children used to have futures, and they used to have good opportunities for when they grew up
The Great Depression: More Relevant Than Ever (Pt. 1)
Our teacher played the class the tune “Dust Bowl Dance” by Mumford and Sons; she said to use that for inspiration and try to find songs that had some relevance. I banded together with my best friend and fellow music lover, Tristan, and we created the best playlist that teacher will ever see.

Happy St. Morrissey Day
You can send it to the Zooey lookalike of your dreams with a note, maybe a heart being burnt to a cinder in a car wreck and not a word, not glance. You can walk by them in the school gym and smile to yourself safe in the knowledge that nothing is revealed…
Joyce Manor: Something I Will Never Grow Tired Of
It’s just the band is so tight that it feels ridiculously close-knit and well rehearsed. That in an of itself is beautiful; listen to any of their songs, and you’ll hear how many little intricacies there are that put JM above and beyond hundreds of other bands.
It (Was) The End Of The World As We Know It
Cliche, but necessary. Of course no one knows the words to the whole thing, ’cause it’s pretty much impossible, but the chorus is sure to induce a sing-along. Definitely the best apocalyptic song ever written

Prince Rogers Nelson also became a pop sensation with his double album 1999 and that little ol’ band from Texas conquered the MTV generation and had their greatest success after a decade plus of recording. Ray Davies and The Kinks had the most heartwarming comeback of the year
US Top 10 Albums, December 29, 2012
Wow! The charts this week are as stale as a fruitcake but then again so is popular opinion. Did you happen to catch Michael Buble when he was on Saturday Night Live doing Christmas Duets?

Memorial Songs, A Playlist of Memorable Things
The tune incorporates the lines “You are my sunshine, my only sunshine,” and “You make me happy, oh when skies are grey”. That’s a song that my grandmother used to sing to me all the time, and hearing it has always stayed resonant.

Mary Magpie's "Ten Best Songs Of All Time"
This is the greatest anthem ever. Whenever I hear it I just want to yell out the words. It’s the best teen angst song of all time- it has glimpses of punk, but is much more progressive indie. Its’ wicked catchy and just makes me want to dance.
The World According To Hel: Top Ten Smiths Songs

Nostalgic Tunes, Lookin' Backwards
Bad Religion is always a good band to listen to when you’re in a punky mood, and this song is perfect for it. It’s a big middle finger to society and being judged, which is the epitome of teenage angst.
A World War One Playlist: Downhearted Yet?
The dead and deadly wounded were being shipped home and the army were coming to a town near you and just plucking out the men of the town and shipping them off. Those not gullible enough to believe the recruitment concerts.

My Love Is Your Love – Whitney Houston – I ‘ve seen Whitney precisely once and she kinda sucked, but I have a friend who saw her at Radio City in her prime and she never stops rubbing my nose in it. This is the birth of hip hop production values in r&b -without this, no Beyonce
