Day 19 (unranked)

Midnight Oil - King of the Mountain (1990)

The Oils seem (sadly) more relevant than ever, especially this week with ExxonMobil petitioning the government to be able to hide how much they’re polluting the planet.

Paul Westerberg - Dyslexic Heart (1992)

Back to the Singles soundtrack for another favorite. I could’ve also picked any of several tracks from 14 Songs, but the turns of phrase in this one are just 🤌🏼

The Samples - Everytime (1993)

I saw these guys live 11 times during the 90s. Such a great band that deserved so much more recognition than they got

Day 15 (unranked)

Weezer – Say It Ain’t So (1994)

Quiet verse loud chorus was such a hallmark of 90s alt rock. And the two guitars echoing the fill at 3:30 is just one of my favorite musical moments ever

Besides introducing me to some great music, #NewWaveNovember has mainly shown me that peoples’ definitions of what’s New Wave are *wildly* different

The Bottle Rockets – Pot of Gold (1994)

I could’ve picked a lot of tracks from The Brooklyn Side, the best album by this criminally underrated alt-country band. They can get pretty loud, but I love this quiet ballad.

Béla Fleck – Up and Running (1995)

Taking a break from the alt-rock for some newgrass and my introduction to one of my favorite musicians. This song always puts me in a good mood.

I sought out a recording of one of Kip Winger's orchestra pieces (yes, the Kip Winger from the band Winger) and it is quite imaginative, totally competent in terms of the orchestration and form, not highly derivative in style - I'm impressed, Kip has something to say

I remember a road trip from Cincinnati to Chicago when the double CD from this concert was all I had with me, and I was never bored. Eddie Vedder’s “Masters of War” was always a highlight for me.

I’ve been on Team Messi for years, but Ronaldo accepting an invitation to hang out at the White House with Trump and the Saudi crown prince just cements that choice for me.
