I’m old enough that this is happening now. 

In light of that, I’m going to spend the rest of the year highlighting our scriptures.

New Testament.

Not all of these are going to be super fun jams, but that doesn’t mean they are not sing-along songs. I love this song, and depending on my mood, it can get to me pretty hard.

I’ll admit that “This Year” is probably the more obvious choice, but if I’m making this whole thing pseudo-religious, This Year is a Sunday School song.

There will probably be more Mountain Goats in this series.

Originally by The Melvins

This is my first and probably last Mastodon post. Their last couple of albums have bored the hell out of me. I have no issues with bands growing and changing, but don’t expect me to follow a long just because I liked the old stuff. I get to grow and change, too, or not at all. That shit is my call.

This song is taken from the mostly mediocre “We Reach: The Music of the Melvins” tribute album. There are some standout tracks like this one and the Isis/Agoraphobic Nosebleed track. Sean Ingram of Coalesce also makes an appearance on Blessing The Hogs’ cover of “Hog Leg.” Dude can’t stay away from cover songs.

Originally by Morrissey

I’ve got no love whatsoever for The Smiths or Morrissey. Not a drop. Every time I hear some cover I end up liking it, and I think “shit, maybe I was wrong and need to give it another go.” And every single time I get screwed by how much I hate it.

This song is from a 2005 EP called “Colin Meloy Sings Morrissey,” 6 tracks, all Morrissey covers.

Full on balls to the wall rock. So good. 

This was taken from a split Coliseum did with Doomriders called “Not Of This World,” in which both bands covered Danzig songs. Hunt it down, it’s worth it.
