Some of y'all may remember MTV's Alternative Nation or 120 Minutes, awesome programs & incredible ways to discover #music back in the 80s & 90s...

I'm starting my morning off with some throwback rock with Ratboys "The Window". Despite the name of the band, it’s a woman-fronted slightly country-fried alternative band. It feels both fresh and familiar. Highly recommended.

Mars to Sirius my introduction to Gojira. Probably in the top 10 best metal bands of the 21st century.

Mötley Crüe Shout at the Devil. Their second and finest album. I doubt it would be appreciated here so I won’t link it.
