Music You Can Use

0

Love is music. Music is Love, which is why we like to keep you on the up and up on all the stuff you should be discovering.

On our September 21st, 2017 episode, we reviewed a few albums starting with the granddaddy from the Foo Fighters, Concrete and Gold. This album is straight out of the 70’s, taking influences from bands such as Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Prince, and even the Mamas and the Papas. Plus, the guest appearances are quite the array with spots by Sir Paul McCartney, Boyz II Men’s Shawn Stockman, and Justin Timberlake!

Then we went to a newer band, Greta Van Fleet, who are so young, some of the members just graduated high school THIS YEAR! So far all they’ve given us is a 4 song EP called Black Smoke Rising, but if that’s a taste of what’s to come, we’re in for a treat from this band.

Queens of the Stone Age gave us our next offering with the album Villains, which isn’t too far from the wheel house we’ve come to enjoy from them.

And we gave some love to a local band to us named Behind the Gray. Not because of nepotism, but because their new album, Treason, needs to be heard by the masses.

Finally we ended things out with a new single from 30 Seconds to Mars called “Walk on Water”. No word on when the album will get released, but if the single’s here, you’d have to imagine it’s not too far away.

So there you have it. Now, you need to listen to the episode linked above, and see if your opinions side with ours.

You may love the Carolina Panthers, or you may loath them, but one thing cannot be questioned, and that’s their love for the Fresh Prince Of Bel Air.

Starting on July 7th, and through 3 days, the team sent out a bunch of tweets, which seemed like nothing at first glance, but take a moment and connect the first word in each one.

Chris Christie Just Wanted the Beach to Himself

Last weekend New Jersey’s government had to shut down because of not agreeing on the budget, which also caused all state parks and beaches to close as well. It’s unfortunate, but these things do happen from time to time.

The real problem came into play when a camera caught Chris Christie, and his entire family, enjoying a beach all to themselves because of it. Not exactly the most respectable thing for a governor to do.

(Funny note: Look how Chris Christie is looking straight up at the camera taking the shot. It’s almost like he knew he was about to get screwed)
