The Silversun Pickups are one of those alternative bands I love listening to when I’m driving my car. Their songs seem to get me in that good mood and they sound great loud. Their CD Carnavas is a great one and has an amazing collection of tracks starting with Melatonin and ending up with Common Reactor. All the songs in between are equally as good so lets listen to their hit Lazy Eye below show dates.

When the normal folk listens to Severed Heads the reaction is always (Huh, what the hell is this?). They can sound like just plain noise, then move to heavenly melodies that blend together like creamy butter. Call it what you will but the master mind behind the Australian electronic band Severed Heads is Tom Ellard. I happened to meet Tom back in 1990 in a small industrial dance club in New Brunswick, NJ when the Severed Heads were touring the states. The show was awesome and I was extreemly delighted to actually hang out and talk with Tom for a while before he went on stage. Here is an atmospheric song by Severed Heads called Dressed in Air off their 1987 album Bad Mood Guy.

I remember back in the late 80’s, actually it was 1989 when I first listened to Monkey Gone to Heaven by the Pixies. My brother bought the album Doolittle at an alternative record store in New Jersey and when he got home we cranked it up and loved every minute of it. Take a listen below.
