Please give one nomination per post. Formatted as āArtist Name - Song Nameā and a link to the song.
Winners:
Alabama - Candi Staton - Young Hearts Run Free
Playlist:
One of the trickier ones up next. Did Sarah Palin have a music career?
Portugal. The Man - So American
Not much into this Alaskan band for the most part but a friend at the time convinced me to see them live and that Iād like them as a fan of The Mars Volta. I enjoyed their 2011 album In the Mountain in the Cloud and some of their earlier stuff, which is hit or miss. Skipping through the tracks of this album now it sounds like a mix of TMV, Yeasayer, and Peter Bjorn & John.
yes i am going to post a rapper for every state. pretty sure that joker the bailbondsman is the only notable one from alaska. there is a rapper called alaska, but i think heās from new york
Oh shit, hopefully I can nominate one from another band since there might not be too many and it just dawned on me.
311 - Fuck the Bullshit
You know Iāve never visited Alaska
Huh, where the oil was spilt
That drunken captain should be killed
For polluting the sea, an atrocity
He still walks free, well
This one goes to all the birds that drown
Fuck the bullshit itās time to throw down
A little misguided but their hearts were in the right place!
