So I watch the show Royal Pains. In their most recent episode, they had a song playing during one of the scenes. I found it entrancing and had to find out who it was.
I've discovered a cool new indie band, Poliça. Their whole album is pretty good stuff.
Anybody know songs written by bands about other bands? Some that came to my mind: "R.A.M.O.N.E.S." by Motörhead (about The Ramones) "S.R." by Reel Big Fish (about Suburban Rhythm) "Bruce, Eddie & Paul" by NOFX (about Iron Maiden) "Jonny Two Bags" by The Vandals (about Jonny "Twobags" Wickersham and Social Distortion) "Journey to the End of the East Bay" by Rancid (about Operation Ivy, dunno if that counts since two of the members of Rancid played in Operation Ivy)
Not looking for diss-songs really, more like songs of appreciation.
There's a song called "Robert Zimmerman Playing Guitar in Front of the Mirror," but it's not actually about Dylan. I don't remember if it even has lyrics.
"The Gaslight Anthem are like something out of speculative fiction: this is what pop music would be if Springsteen hadn't listened to his producer, let The Ramones record Hungry Heart, and launched the C.B.G.B.'ers into megastardom.".
I've been downloading a lot of music recently and recognizing songs from artists I thought I had never listened to before. It's quite strange. I'm not sure if it's stuff posted here or what. Specifically I've noticed it with Hide and Seek by Imogen Heap and The Power's Out by Flogging Molly.
Edit: Actually now that Hide and Seek has gotten to the chorus I recognize this as a pretty popular song. Maybe I heard it on the radio?
If you're digging Flogging Molly, there is a world of celtpunk/rock out there that you'll likely enjoy, like Dropkick Murphys, The Tossers, and the Cherry Cokes.

Just discovered these guys. If you like folk punk, this is required listening.
Aw man, you're just now finding out about them? I've been preaching Pat the bunny's stuff on here for a while. I assume you've listened to his other bands, Wingnut Dishwashers Union and Ramshackle Glory, as well?
