“Riley” – The Corin Tucker Band

At first The Corin Tucker Band’s song “Riley” sounds like a chaotic, cacophony of noise. But stay with it. It has an interesting punk sound that will grow on you.

“World Gone Crazy” – The Doobie Brothers

It’s one of those freebie weeks where the-powers-that-be decided to open the vaults and let the good music run wild. “World Gone Crazy” is classis Doobie Brothers. It has great harmonies, a memorable chorus and a beat that will happily be in your head all day long.

No synthesizers here, just straight up rock and roll with some blues thrown in. Get it.

“Best Song Ever” – Katie Armiger

“Best Song Ever” by Katie Armiger is no boast. It’s a great track to rock out to. With a mature sound Armiger is above the Swifts and the Bieber’s currently saturating the airwaves. A pleasant surprise.

“I Walked” – Sufjan Stevens

The long intro to “I Walked” is a turn-off and the song goes downhill from there. Stevens is self-indulgent in his self-pity. No the wonder his protagonist was left without so much as a “kiss goodbye” – he’s just to whiny to stay around. Skip this.

“Arena” – Suuns

You spend five minutes trying to figure out when the song is going to start and then it’s over. If you’re patient enough for the last twelve seconds of this track then go for it. Otherwise don’t bother.
