Ezra Furman and the Harpoons - “We Should Fight”

I don’t come across enough music like this these days: clever, storytelling lyrics with a heavy dose of rock-and-roll. So when Josh dropped these guys into our submission queue, my immediate reaction was jealousy. I was jealous that Josh had been enjoying these guys for who knows how long and I’d never even heard of them. Well, that’s all fixed now, and I’m well on my way to overdosing on the Bob-Dylan-mixed-with-Clap-Your-Hands-Say-Yeah-mixed-with-pure-rock-and-roll-energy that is Ezra Furman and the Harpoons.

Picking a song from Furman’s latest album, Inside the Human Body, was really difficult, so when you’re done with this gem, do yourself a favor and check out anything else you can get your hands on.

The Coral - “In the Morning”

I can’t think of any other way to describe the Coral’s music except to call it fun. The UK band’s music style varies fairly wildly—at times it’s poppy, other times a little psychedelic, and I’ve even detected a hint of sea shanty before—but it’s always fun and upbeat. This song, a perennial Monday favorite, comes from The Coral’s 2005 LP, The Invisible Invasion. If you can keep still while listening this song, you might want to check your pulse.
