Last Week’s Jams (10.28 – 11.1)

Just when we thought the year was dragging to a close, we managed to find enough hits to fall in love with and make you a proper playlist! We even have a few of the tracks we covered from Maneater and Boyracer missing, so be sure to check those out. I loved the opening song from Prism Shores; it’s definitely a bright spot on last week, along with the reemergence of Mogwai on the scene. We managed to get in some Austin love for Whalers and Gus Baldwin and the Sketch, not to mentioned representing for the local festival with Levitation interviews from Hello Mary and the Strange Lot. Plus, our pal Michael Maly was able to swing some coverage for Air‘s 25th Anniversary performance of Moon Safari, giving me a chance to slide “Sexy Boy” into yet another playlist. Check it all out below.

Minorcan Preps Rock Alone + Shares Scorpio Sting

Yesterday was a sign of the times, as I got my first “Year in Review” pitch, meaning it is officially time for us to jump in our transporter and head into 2025. One of the records we’ll be looking out for is the new Minorcan record, Rock Alone, which features the tasty treat we’ve got streaming down below. Listening through the tune, the musical style falls somewhere between the work of Bruce Springsteen and Eels, offering up a left of the dial version of classic songwriting. It’s an apt time for the release here, as it’s a love song, disguised as an arachnid attack, with the love interest striking our narrator. If you’re looking for a little tasty morsel inside, might I suggest the little guitar shuffled at 1:43; it totally brightened my day over here. Rock Alone is out in February of next year my friends!
