"The End"
Is it just me, or are the times feeling like "the end of everything that stands"? You can always count on The Doors for a trip, and this song, with its eerie calmness that leads into hypnotic chaos, is no different.

"We Shall Overcome"
In the aftermath of one of the largest anti fascist (Drumpf) protests in U.S. History, this was again the anthem.

"Teenage Kicks"
Just one of those perfect songs. It builds and builds and builds.

The Cramps
"The Crusher"
Originally by The Novas, it's hard to imagine this classic dance tune without Ivy's signature guitar and Lux's rockabilly vocals. There's something so sinister yet groovy about the tone, like a '60s prom night taking place in hell. Rest assured it's never too late, or early, to revisit any of the band's classics off of Psychedelic Jungle, or any of their other killer albums.
