ALBUM COVER OF THE YEAR

Here goes your evening. Still In Rock posted their top 100 songs of 2019. How many had I heard? Zilch. How many bands did I recognize? Not surprisingly, few. But it sure is fun browsing. And the quality is there. This one by Amyl and The Sniffers got me going. And the Iggy cut was good, if only to see where he's at these days. I gotta say, hearing Violent Femmes again after not hearing them for years, coupled with the cover they did, "God Bless America"; it was just weird. I couldn't stop thinking that they've licensed "Blisters In the Sun" so many times over the years, it's almost like this particular cover, done in a novel way, is just begging to be put in the soundtrack of a movie or the background of a commercial. Shit, what about the simulcasts for the fireworks shows on July 4th? Money in the bank for those stinking acousticrats.
