Catching up. I missed this post somehow.
I like Hot Chip. DIIV isn’t too bad from what I’ve heard on SXM.
Misty is a bit too folky for me, but I’ve never noticed the lyrics before. Fun! I’ll pay more attention when he’s on again.
I like PJ. This one is good too.

Another post that slipped past me! It was the day after vacation, so that’s a lame excuse but it’s what I got.
Snoop! Snoop-a-Loop!!! Come on guys. We’re all goin streaking! Bring your hat. Let’s go!
Everything is better with a little Snoop Dogg.
I was indifferent to this the first couple of times I heard it till I noticed the solo. Then I really got into it. I like it when a song can pull off a shift like that and take it in another direction. When I found out it was Vai, it made sense. He recorded 3 takes of the solo and sent it to the band. They spliced different parts of the various takes together to make the final recording. Their guy does a really good job of it.
Love De La Soul.

This is KILLER! I it reminds me of Lo-Fi All Stars, Kasabian, and a few others. I need to add some Jagwar to my collection.
It was a overplayed for a while, but I still like it.

Same here, in the XMU rotation, it would come on, and be just like 100 other dance/electronic songs. But after a few times, I said to myself "wait, that's one awesome guitar solo at the end". And I looked into it, and it was Vai. And then I saw the video, and those Mai Lan girls ain't half bad looking.

Awesome, fitting, contrasting, and genuinely lovely.
Vai.

And with this, I think I’m caught up!
Shes another one I know her name, but not the music, even though I see her pop up on SXM.
I like her. She’s like a cleaned up nice-girl version of Courtney Barnett. I like Courtney better, but I’ll pay more attention when Angel shows up.

When I first covered Spoon, I mentioned that they had some really good stuff that's come out more recently. Well it's time to get to those!
In 2017, they made a big impact with the album Hot Thoughts. It has a bunch of songs that got radio airplay, such as Can I Sit Next to You, and these
Like many Spoon songs, the title track has a nice groove to it
Spoon – Hot Thoughts (live)
And this is another one of their slow grind funk tunes
Spoon – Do I Have to Talk You Into It (live)
As a bonus, they put out a compilation album in 2019, and it had this great new song on it
Spoon – No Bullets Spent

I've covered St. Vincent up to 2014, but her 2017 follow-up, Masseducation, was another strong album. It had a theme of places; these were the two premier tracks
The video is integral to the song
St. Vincent – Los Ageless
This may hold the record for most bleeped song on broadcast radio rotation
St. Vincent – New York
She put out another great album just this year, but I'm going to hold-off on that for now.

Wild outfits. Pretty cool song!
5 F bombs? Sorry but not even close.
I heard this on a rock station back when it came out and thought, "Why [SILENCE]-ing bother??" 5 edits already within the first 35 seconds. I counted 21 total.
Then there's the clean version of this one (8 edits). Here are three different ways they edited it. I like the first one best.

Guess I should have added that it got played on AC radio.

Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
This was played on the radio back in the day. Mostly beeps. I think there are almost more swear words than real words, Here is the unedited version.

After you posted that one in your thread a while ago, I was intrigued and did some research then wrote a song bio for it. Interesting story.

I love this song. The break is killer. I think they added a second one for the radio edit. (Or removed one for the video edit.)
Shes great. I hope she keeps doing cool stuff.
I was going to mention Rage Against the Machine, but they didn’t quite manage to cross over to AC radio like they had hoped. Bummer.

Correction: Autocorrect tried to handle the album title, and muffed it up. It's Masseduction.
The management deeply regrets any confusion which may have resulted from this error.

Here's another update of a band we've covered here. But in this case, the band had broken-up after their 2010 album release. They even did a farewell tour. Like Sleater-Kinney had done in 2005, LCD Soundsystem hung it up in 2010. Then, two years after S-K's 2015 return, LCD released American Dream. Singles from the album include the dance-club-ready Tonight, and these
Another album, another epic LCD Soundsystem tune
LCD Soundsystem – Call the Police (live)
While not a favorite song of mine, the movie-like video was directed by Rian Johnson, and stars Sissy Spacek and David Strathairn
LCD Soundsystem – Oh Baby

Correction to my correction: Annie Clark (St. Vincent) put out an acoustic version of the album, and called it MassEducation. So, whatever.
