I discovered this classic-sounding upbeat ska track by the Steadytones over the weekend thanks to Craig Charles’ Radio 6 show, and can’t get enough of it. I couldn’t believe it when I found out it only came out last year. It’s blatantly going to be my song of the summer - it’s got such a great laid back summer vibe!

Stelvio Cipriani is an italian composer Ive been listening to recently, and he goes purely all out in all his music. He is famous for composing for old movies, and his soundtracks are beautiful. My favorite song from him is Mary’s Theme - From The “Femina Ridens” Soundtrack

I’ve been listening to all of Billy Joel’s live albums, and I especially enjoy Kohuept, his 1987 performance from the Soviet Union. Glass Houses is also still in heavy rotation. Apart from It’s Still Rock and Roll To Me, I feel it’s pretty underrated, especially Close to the Borderline and Sleeping With The Television on.

The One by Taking Back Sunday has been hitting all the right boxes for me, which is something I never thought I’d say. It almost feels like U2 meets the Killers at parts. I really dig it.

Blackwater Holylight is another new discovery for me. Heavy riffs, smooth melodies, great vocals. I’m gonna explore more of these ladies’ stuff this week.

Finally, I found myself returning to Killers by Iron Maiden a lot this week. Such a great sophomore record, and the intro of Wrathchild gets me going more than any other song in a long time! Genghis Khan is also one of my favorite metal instrumentals ever. Check it out if you haven’t heard it before!
