Fuiam Catha by Oi Polloi from 1999.

Despite the Gaelic name, only one song is in Gaelic. The rest is in English.

Pro-environmentalism, anti-fascist, Scottish anarcho-punk.

Fuiam Catha means Sound of Battle.

Here’s a big eclectic mix of

Cubafrica by Manu Dibango

E MO TION: Side B by Carly Rae Jepsen

Home is Where Your Heart Was by Plej

Vampire Weekend by Vampire Weekend

Left and Leaving by The Weakerthans

Flood by They Might Be Giants

“Deadache” by Lordi ! I wouldn’t say it has their best songs, but it doesn’t have any definite “B-sides”, unlike most of their previous work.

( eg : is Hellbender Turbulence anyone’s favorite ? Dynamite Tonite ? I doubt that. Get Heavy is a much rockier listening experience. Some may even say it’s heavily front loaded.

Deadache has a bit of a slump in the middle but it’s picked right back up by the final third, especially the titular song and Raise Hell in Heaven )

Hybrid Theory is the strongest Linkin Park album, with Meteora in close second

The Hands That Thieve is great whether you listen to Streetlight Manifesto ska version or the Toh Kay acoustic version

My Head Is An Animal remains my favorite Of Monsters And Men album

Christian rock as a genre is generally bad, but rock that is Christian can be pretty good: ? by Neal Morse remains one of my favorite albums
