Cool titles for crazy-hot times.
Hello again. Another exceptional list here if I may say so myself. A lot to get excited about. Be sure to look carefully through the list as there are cool titles on top of cool titles. You’ll know what I mean.

As you know, it’s been crazy hot out but the cool sounds of rock ‘n roll should help soothe the senses and restore order to the universe. It always has before!

Without further ado, let’s get right to it.

LYRICS of the MONTH:

Hard to choose when a band has so many good songs but here are the lyrics for the new single from one of my very favorite newer bands: The Gaslight Anthem.

“Have you seen my hands?
Just look at 'em shake.
And the song just keeps on repeating,
Drop the needle again.
And I dance with your ghost,
Oh, but that ain't the way...
I can't move on and I can't stay the same.

And all my friends say...

"Hey hey, turn the record over.
Hey hey, and I'll see you on the flip side.
There you go, turn the key and engine over.
Let her go, let somebody else lay at her feet."


Have you seen my heart,
Have you seen how it bleeds?
And the nights are so long, baby,
Out here in the deep.
The tick, ticking of hours, lonely.
I hear the alarm
I used to hear when she would sleep in my arms.

But "better sense" says...

"Hey hey, turn the record over.
Hey hey, and I'll see you on the flip side.
There you go, turn the key and engine over.
Let her go, let somebody else lay at her feet."

And all my friends say,
"Hey hey, turn the record over.
Hey hey, and I'll see you on the flip side.
There you go, turn the key and engine over.
Let her go, let somebody else lay at her feet."

Where you used to be... here with me.”

The Gaslight Anthem, the song “45” from the album Handwritten released this month.
