Netherfriends - Uptown Boys
Meat MD: This dude deserves a shout. V prolific and incredible knack for song and album titles. In 2016 he made 13 full albums with titles like 808s and Harpbreak, one called Swish where every single song is just the name of a basketball player, Don't be a Fuck Boy, and my personal favorite Nocomputer with track titles like "My computer was stolen in Atlanta" "All of nocomputer was recorded live using loop pedals" and "Buy nocomputer so I can replace my stolen computer".
The Lagoons - California
Devo: Add to memorial day playlists immediately.
HAIM - Want You Back
Pooh: Retro banger.
Adrien Brody: Rob Lowe in St Elmo's Fire is such a fucking stud. That weird yellow Batman tank he rocks playing the sax would cost A$AP Rocky $2k today.
Astronaut - No Place For Lovers
Meat MD: They remind me of Big Black Delta, who I love. (ignore the video, which obviously sucks).
Allman Brothers Band - Whipping Post (9/23/1970 Fillmore East)
Mobile Mike: There are a few Fillmore albums, all within a few years of each other, that fall into most top ten lists. Hendrix, Santana, Derek and the Dominoes -- and of course the Allmans. Untouchable.
Greggs brother, Duane, is still widely considered the greatest slide guitar player of all time. He used an empty pill bottle, showed the world what it sounded like with Statesboro Blues, and co wrote songs like Layla with Eric Clapton.
Tonight we drink to Gregg and the Allman Bros. RIP.
