Issue #143
Featuring tracks from Yer State Birds, Slow Pulp, Grits & Greens, Hot Mulligan, and The Starting Line.
I ended up catching a great show completely unexpectedly at a bachelor party in Steamboat Springs last weekend. We ended up at a bar called Schmiggity's where a band called Grits & Greens was playing. They ended up playing two sets of face melting guitar of which “So Much Fun” was my favorite. I had a similar experience at Schmiggity’s back in 2016 when I stumbled into the bar and caught Yer State Birds. They know how to book shows there!
What is my favorite track of the week though is “Island” from The Starting Line. I don’t know how I missed this song when it came out in 2007 but it has a chorus you can listen to over and over and over again. It is getting me hyped to go see The Goo Goo Dolls and Dashboard Confessional tomorrow night which started as a joke but now that I am re-listening to music from that era, am thinking could actually be kinda good.
Happy listening. Stay nostalgic.
Looking for new music? Love art? Every week I create a short, five track playlist of the songs I am feeling at the moment along with a beautiful, found postcard. It’s a spark of joy for your eyes and ears.
