American Nightmare – Misfits
13 November 2017
In our late teens, early twenties we were a group of loose life-styled, skate punks, surfers and alternatives. I don’t know if it was the exposure or culture of growing up on the tough working class streets, but somehow we all evolved into gas guzzling Muscle car drivers and Harley riders….. We brought our own special blend of noise pollution to the suburbs, supercharged Punk Rock and the deep gurgle of ratty V8 yank tanks.
Death Grip – Morosity
7 November 2017
During my break I was swamped with some seriously outstanding Submissions. This week I have Morosity with their track Death Grip…. This track immediately got my attention and for obvious reasons… it actually reminded me of the score from Cave and Ellis’s “The Proposition” and it’s probably worthy of sitting on a Cinematic soundtrack such this.
Country Heroes – Hank Williams III
31 October 2017
Alright Yall , while were on the Country Rebel Train, I have a little number from Country Royalty himself……Hank III
Hank and his for fathers have heavily influenced my sway into the Country seen and it’s not only the hard hitting reality of country lyrics but the no frills approach of the muso’s ….Raw fucking talent…
Ain’t a Road Too Long – Brent Cobb
10 October 2017
So while Chris is quite literally “on the road” I’m hijacking the list for this week! Had never heard of Brent Cobb before but this track blew into my ears and it’s stayed all there all bloody week!
Magnolia Mountain – Ryan Adams & The Cardinals
19 September 2017
For weeks now I’ve been trying to work a Ryan Adams track into the playlist, I suppose I could have thrown one in anywhere, but I’ve been waiting for an appropriate story or snippet to tie it back to the road… So…
Whole Lotta Rosie – Son Of Dave
12 September 2017
I’m sort of getting the feeling some of you might look at this playlist and go – where’s the Acca-Dacca and where’s The White Buffalo….Well there’s not!…There are no rules to a road trip and it’s probably the main reason – I’m trying to serve you something different each week.
Apache – The Shadows
4 September 2017
If you’ve read my Bio you’d already know of my love for The Beach Boys – even at primary school when my peers were singing along to the likes of Adam and the Ants and Bronski Beat, I was raiding my Mothers paisley record case and spinning
Brian Wilson and the like….
Golden Brown – The Stranglers
28 August 2017
Road trip playlists can have the potential to take you anywhere, stories, memories, latest hits and pub anthems, and last but not least the Classics. This week happens to be a request from the back seat, but if someone said to me write down a list of your ten favorite classics, its definitely been tattooed on my skin . Seriously, you know your listening to a brilliant piece of music when it can bring people together regardless of staunch Musical tastes and sub cultures.
Clinchfield Rail – Jeff Przech
21 August 2017
As a Curator here at Musicto, we not only get to chat and brainstorm with the rest of our team, whom are dotted around the globe but were lucky enough to meet and cross paths with some brilliant musicians.
This week Jeff Przech and I actually bumped into each other on Twitter and I got a chance to shoot him a few questions about his work.
16 Shells From A 30.6 – Tom Waits
15 August 2017
Calling long time Waits fans, first time callers and hitchhikers.
Apologies in advance for those of you expecting “Going Out West”….sorry but I’m a b side sort of guy!
San Berdoo Sunburn – Eagles of Death Metal
7 August 2017
So here’s another ditty from the Eagles of Death Metal.
Just what the doctor ordered to get you singing along on the road to nowhere.
A Little Cruel – Harry Manx
31 July 2017
I found myself seeking out this track yesterday with the passing of a friend. I honestly don’t know what to say or feel this week, I’m just numb…”
