 The Pogues - Body of an American
I've been watching The Corner on HBO Canada. The Corner originally aired in 2000 and was a pre-cursor of sorts to The Wire, The Greatest Show On Television, Ever™. Naturally, when watching The Corner, I think a lot about The Wire.
Thinking about The Wire always gets me thinking about The Pogues' Body of an American. Damn I love this song.

Allman Brothers Band - Jessica
All week I've had this song bouncing around my head. I just have to hear the name Jessica and I hear it.
It's a great track.

The Statler Brothers - Flowers On The Wall
If you're anything like me, you know this song from Pulp Fiction. I have to confess, the only Statler Brothers song I've ever heard is this one and I only know it from the Pulp Fiction movie and soundtrack.
But get this... I totally dig this track. Because it was in my favourite movie of all-time and appeared on one of my favourite movie soundtracks of all-time.
Did anyone out there know this song before Pulp Fiction was released?

K-Dot-O-Dot - Mr. Brownstone
I wrote about K-Dot-O-Dot before. He's a friend of my brothers and he's got a great sound.
Here he is covering my all-time favourite Guns N' Roses song.

Grapes Of Wrath - All The Things I Wasn't
It's hard to believe Kelowna's Grapes of Wrath released the most excellent "All The Things I Wasn't" over 20 years ago.
It still holds up.

Joy Division - Transmission
Ian Curtin killed himself 30 years ago yesterday. He was Joy Division's songwriter and lyricist and he took his life on the eve of Joy Division's first North American tour.
A few Joy Division tunes seem to always make my playlists. "Atmosphere" and "Love Will Tear Us Apart" are great, but I like to start with "Transmission".

The Hold Steady - Stay Positive
Last week, Hockey Night in Canada opened with this tune. It worked perfectly against a montage of action from the best sports has to offer: the NHL playoffs.
The Hold Steady is a Brooklyn-based rock band comprising Craig Finn, Tad Kubler, Galen Polivka and Bobby Drake.

'Til Tuesday - Voices Carry
Last week I wrote about the Twitter fight between Ice T and Aimee Mann. If you don't know Aimee Mann from her work on the Magnolia soundtrack, and if you're my age or older, you may remember her as the lead singer of 'Til Tuesday.
The definitive 'Til Tuesday track is "Voices Carry", mainly because it had a great video that was played ad nausea and that very cool part near the end when Aimee yells "He said, shut up! He said, shut up! Oh God, can't you keep it down?"

Frank Black - Headache
My absolute favourite post-Pixies song from Black Francis... I mean, Frank Black is "Headache" from Teenager of the Year.
If you haven't heard it in a while, you'll be surprised by how good it still sounds today.

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark - Enola Gay
I always liked this song from OMD.
The song is named after the USAAF B-29 Superfortress which dropped "Little Boy", the first atomic bomb to be used in an act of War, on the Japanese city of Hiroshima at the end of WWII.
