Drum Show - Twenty One Pilots

Twenty One Pilots - Drum Show

"I feel like Twenty One Pilots have a bad reputation in many online music circles, but without them I would not like 99% of the music I do now. This is from their last album, Breach, which I think is one of their best. I went to its early listening party for my birthday, the owner of this blog (my dad) and I even made a custom tye dye shirt with the |-/ logo on it for the occasion. There were so many people at the listening party, it was one of my favorite experiences I've had at any record store."

Got To Get You Into My Life - The Beatles

"I am sure you all know The Beatles. This version of the song is stripped back to just drums, guitar, bass and vocals, giving it an entirely new feel as opposed to the horn-driven album version. To me it feels very 1990s, almost like if Weezer wrote it."

I've Got A Dark Alley And A Bad Idea - Fall Out Boy

"I am convinced that (at least up to 2008) Pete Wentz is/was the Pete Townshend of my generation (pun maybe intended). My dad has said that Townshend can write about how teenagers are feeling better than anyone else, and while I do agree and love The Who, I think Fall Out Boy and Wentz were just as good at doing the same."

$300 - Soul Coughing

"This song is so good, y'all. I don't know how to describe it, just listen!!"

The Inevitability - OK Glass

"Surprise dropped for free on April Fool's Day of last year, OK Glass' fourth album, Same, heavily critiques modern day consumerism and captalism while incorporating so many samples that it legally cannot be sold or put on any streaming service. Fans of a certain Beach Boys album from 1966 should be able to find the big sample used on this tune."

Soul Suckin' Jerk - Beck

"Been getting into Beck pretty heavily this year. It's a shame this song was cut from Mellow Gold in favor of the album version, I very much prefer this one."

Sleepcure Theory Advancer - Capstan Shafts

"I was introduced to this song through a cover my favorite musician, Marc With a C, did in around 2012. That cover is no longer in circulation so I went with the original. If you like the work of Robert Pollard, this is for you. It's rough and super lo-fi but poppy and very very catchy."

It's Fun To Steal - Mono Puff

"They Might Be Giants are one of my favorite bands, so you'll probably see them more often than not when I do these takeovers. This is a song from a 90s TMBG side project I only got around to listening to a couple months ago, but I've been obsessed with it. Super funky and super funny."
