We start the playlist this week on a more sombre note in memory of Taylor Hawkins, who sadly passed away just over a week ago. Hawkins was one of the best drummers in rock and we felt that ‘Low‘ off of Foo Fighters fourth album is a perfect example of why he was held in…
The new album is talking about “the other”. Fear of “the other”. Unnecessary fear. Unwarranted fear of “the other”.
This isn’t factory fodder, it’s one of the better EPs released in a stellar year of music.
