I feel a lot cooler for listening to this album nonstop when I was 11.

It’s a Frankenstein’s monster. It’s kind of an amalgam of everything that had been on the radio, all melded together into one song.

This is just what I need.

Martin Scorsese is attached to direct a new movie about the Ramones, one of several projects in the works to celebrate the upcoming 40th anniversary of the band’s first LP in 2016.

A one-off cover of “I Sold My Heart to the Junkman" with the E Street Band at the Harvard Square Theatre in Cambridge, MA, on May 9, 1974 -- the night Jon Landau saw "rock and roll future." To have been at this concert... Thanks, Bruce, for being my past, present, and future of Rock & Roll.

NEW TRACKS: GROUPLOVE, “Let Me In”

In about a month, teens are going to be flocking to the movie theater for the widely anticipated tearjerker The Fault In Our Stars. And regardless of how you feel about the movie, the soundtrack is gonna be good. The track listing was recently released and it features songs by Jake Bugg, Tom Odell, Birdy, and more. But even though all of the artist on the album are fantastic, I’d like to feature the GROUPLOVE track, “Let Me In.” The song is unbelievably dreamy but still embodies GROUPLOVE’s fun and catchy spirit. Also, the synthy ballad was recorded right here in the DC area! The band went to Inner Ear Studios, run by the hardcore legend Don Zientara, to lay down the track. So, whether you plan on seeing the movie or not, go ahead and get lost in “Let Me In.”

Departing from the usual R&B and Rock & Roll of Rock n' Roll High School, have a listen to some new (and new-ish) songs for a lesson in musical current events.

Here's a podcast of today's show. Listen up for some of my favorite new* music.

*To me, anything written in the past 15 years is "new" but have no fear-- all of the songs I played today were written in the past 10 years, if not more recently
