For some reason, it took me years to put together two and two together that this was the same guy who did Novocaine for the Soul in the 90s. Which was always a song I liked in the 90s even though I was too cool to say I liked it. Also, the favorite artist of my buddy who’s always trying to get me to give up pumping gas to fulfill Prime orders.
• My friends who aren’t dying are already dead. • Dreams they seem cost money, but money costs some dreams • When the Youth of Today and the early Seven Seconds taught me some of life’s most valuable lessons.
As a #MyGiants fan from the freezing yore ass off in Candlestick days, I’m still lobbying the team to make this their anthem instead of Journey’s Lights. Fits ATT Park more.
Poring out some of my Pamplemousse La Croix for Indie 103.1 in LA. Where I first heard this song during a summer of having my car radio being stolen while living in a cheap apartment in Venice that probably now rents for 5-figures a month.
There really no need for more Kings of Leon, at this point.
Fun story tim: I saw this band play when I was pumping gas in Toronto in 2007. They offered me a free T-shirt if I wore a pair of boy shorts through the mosh pit. I still have the shirt.
Continuing down the White Stripes auxiliary path, the singer in this band put Jack White in his cowpunk band and played Johnny Cash's guitarist in Walk the Line. This is still one of my favorite Alt-country tracks of the decade regardless.
A buddy of mine poasted Dennehy as a joke on the bored in the Fantasy Football league I was in at the time. But the joke was on him, I actually liked the album.

Bleach is still the coolest Nirvana album. De Stijl is still the coolest White Stripes album.
