I have a rather corny suggestion. In the spirit of the Thanksgiving season, what if we got a theme going of songs you are thankful for? Note: Not songs about being thankful (although that’s certainly allowed) but rather songs that you, personally, are thankful for. Perhaps it’s because of a special memory that the song evokes. Maybe the song just slaps. Feel free to share, or not share your reasons.
The first song that I am thankful for is:
I’m thankful for these two jams because as soon as I put them on my little 9 month old daughter start dancing uncontrollably
Yes! Love it!
Big Thief has been putting out a few singles in prep for their double feature coming in February, this song, Change, has been on repeat for me since it came out:
Adrianne Lenker’s voice and lyrics have this effect on me that few other artists do
If you like U2 and/or Matt Nathanson, Matt released “Achtung Matty” last night. His new album is covers of the songs off of Achtung Baby to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the album release. I haven’t listened to everything yet - but it’s pretty decent so far.

Two songs from the first mixtape my wife-to-be ever made for me. Knew right then she was a keeper.
Jimmy Eat World have started releasing their Phoenix sessions (where they performed 3 albums live) from earlier this year on digital streaming.
Futures and Clarity out so far.
So good!!
Mrs. The Kid is starting to decorate for Christmas today.
I am thankful for these classics:
Not sure if this has already been thrown out but after lurking this thread for a while I can confidently say this band would appeal to quite a few on here… this live set is next level production too. NLU and Hate5Six are the two best creator on YT, hands down.
I found a few CD’s while doing some final stage packing for an upcoming move.
One of them was a burned Circuit city CD That had “AFI ANTI/Flag” written on it.
I threw it in on my drive this morning it was that an so much more.
Anti Flag AFI Sex Pistols and Ben Folds Five
Instantly remember who made me this CD and the year she gave it to me. I felt 14 again.
Music is powerful stuff.
Was at a local pizza spot this weekend with the family and this little number came on. Never heard of them before, but love how all I have to do is ask my phone what song is playing and it’ll tell me.
Starting to listen to more of their catalog, seems like a pretty standard indie pop sound (which I don’t say as a bad thing because I love it).
Oh hell yeah. Not sure how I came across them but I love This Is It. Great album.
I was prepared to enter a thread after hearing the first few songs of Adele’s 30 with some hot takes. I wasn’t a fan of those songs and wasn’t feeling the spoken word stuff
…but then…
she 
let it rip (save for one song in the back half) and I feel bad for ever doubting her. She’s so damn incredible.
Turnpike might be back soon?
As a guy that used to play the trombone (i guess i probably still could), this dude has some wild chops to sound that way in that octave playing that loud with everyone just hyped. What energy. So sick.
(P.S. - shout out the algorithms for flipping this my way)
Literal chills from that. So powerful yet really clean, pretty amazing.
HBCU bands are on another fucking level
