My Favourite Front Man: Honouring Steve Harwell
Today we wake to the news of 90s alt behemoth, and lead singer of Smashmouth ,Steve Harwell's untimely death. As I have talked about on these pages, I am a music nerd. I'll listen to anything once, and many things twice. A lot of things, several. I've played piano since I was a child, so the ear was prepped, but still, Smashmouth remains the most pleasing to the ear for decades, and true masters of the story song - genre jesters doing their thing on every single one of their tracks, whilst staying true to their 1960s, easy listening vibe, even incorporating ska and punk elements, with that 90s edge. To me, true pioneers.

If You Don’t Read This …
If you don’t read this you will probably never know of these songs or these artists. People are often restricted by the media, what they grew up listening or other factors, I am the same, although Janelle Monae’s “Dirty Computer” is one of the most impressive albums I have ever heard and that is relatively recent but there will be none of that on here, this is taking you off the beaten path and down the unsigned road and I could drag in something for the #LikeNoOther series that I started on Seven Days In.

Musical Alphabet Letter I
“(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” by The Rolling Stones became the song that every garage band just had to play if they were going to be successful. In the 1970s it was a standard at every high school dance I went to. The song was written by band members Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and recorded by the English rock band The Rolling Stones. It is featured on their 1965 album Out of Our Heads and became their first number one hit in the US. Rolling Stone magazine has it on their list of The Greatest Songs of All Time and it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998. The Library of Congress has added the song to the National Recording Registry.
