Music to Kill the Boredom
By Marnie Stern
1. Z's - "Concert Black"
They make really challenging and complex stuff and the compositions themselves are amazing.
2. Male Bonding - "Pirate Key" - Listen here
I really like the repeating guitar riff in this song.
3. Arab On radar - "My Mind Is A Muffler" - Listen here
One of my favorites off this album, but the whole record is great.
4. Pterodactyl - "December" - Listen here
I like the way the guitar riff repeats in such strange time and the fact that they were able to build a good song around it.
5. Royal Trux - "I'm Ready" - Listen here
This song is just bad ass.
6. Animal Collective - "The Purple Bottle" - Listen here
This has been inspiring me a lot for the past few years. It's heartfelt and uplifting
7. Elvis Costello - "Pump It Up" - Listen here
His singing style on this song is just the coolest on this track.
8. Ex-Models - "Chrome Hearts" - Listen here
I love the repetition and trance vibe of this song .
9. T-Rex - "20th Century Boy" - Listen here
The opening riff couldn't be simpler, but remains one of the best .
10. Ponytail - "Celebrate the Body Electric (It Came From an Angel)" - Listen here
The way the guitars intertwine is beautiful and so energetic
11. The Rolling Stones - "Monkey Man" - Listen here
The barking at the end is the best. Attitude!
12. Van Halen - "Unchained" - Listen here
This is great to dance around to at a gas station when you're filling up.
