I’m at work. On a Saturday. So in my final activity on the clock, and the only non-work-related thing I’ve done for the last seven hours, I present to you day 24.
Day 24: A Song by a Band You Wish were Still Together
I was gonna choose something by The Mars Volta, but my brain totally forgot they reunited. So now I’m stumped. HmmMMmm… How about something by Daft Punk? I was pretty bummed when they recently broke up, so I think it’s appropriate. Plus, I’m trying not to “cheat” and choose something by a band that ended because someone kicked the bucket.
“Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” is not my favorite song of theirs, but I do enjoy it. And it’s the first one that came to mind.
Enjoy.
Nevermind, this one is way better.
Hit me with one of yours.
Dry Cell. They broke up before their first studio album could even be released, but that album is amazing.

I find myself going back to this band now and again and wish that they were still making music together. I was going to say Ben Folds Five but the fact that I got into Soul Coughing right after they broke up made me feel a longing to experience what it would have been like to be waiting for their new release and see them live. I heard it was a contentious situation and likely best they broke up but still: I fucking love their jams.
I wanted to go with a deeper cut and kinda a weird one but I love this damn beat.
I remember I found this playlist of nerd rock from the early 80s and I realized I’d have been absolutely into it if I had been more a decade earlier. https://youtu.be/9bTWF7eirJw
This one is perhaps an odd choice since I really only know maybe half of the album that it came from but this one song in particular made me yearn for more. https://youtu.be/2ZY2JgWSesw
https://youtu.be/EkwD5rQ-_d4 Coolest mixed meter song ever about a serial killer. And it’s fucking awesome to play on drums.
I realize I’m probably lucky in how many of my favorite bands are still together. It took a bit for me to even think of who to add here.
Doobs.

Okay, GREAT choices! And all of them are new to me aside from Toadies. So now I have yet more new stuff to dig into. Always appreciated! ❤
