The Black Halos
"Three Sheets to the Wind"
Gloriously trashy, sleazy punk 'n' roll courtesy of one of Canada's best, this anthemic, booze-fueled gem is one of the Black Halos' best.
Associate Editor Ruby Risch
Brandi Carlile
"The Story"
Every now and again, Carlile pops up on a playlist and I'm reminded just how powerful and viscerally soulful her vocals are.
Operations Manager Robin Rose
Simon & Garfunkel
"I Am a Rock"
A Folk-Rock rendering of isolation and detachment. With stories set to enduring music, Paul Simon has been not only an influence on generations of musicians of varied genres, but will be remembered as one of the greatest songwriters of his generation, a national treasure. This is only one of a multitude of storytelling through so many different musical avenues that have touched many hearts and minds.
Editorial Intern Anna Jordan
Faye Webster
"Jonny"
It's easily one of my favorite songs of all time and always makes a comeback in the late summer.
