Drudgeons | Resurget Cineribus: A Detroit Compilation I’m heading off to Detroit this weekend to see friends and Thrice at St. Andrew’s Hall. Thinking about Detroit and its immensely deep musical history sparked some research and discovery of more great performers I hadn’t heard. Countless greats in jazz, blues, and gospel were spawned from the Motor City, as well as a unique and prolific electronic music scene, but what I really love about Detroit is its Motown, garage rock, and punk heritage. Bands like MC5 and Death in combination with Motown acts like the Temptations and Wilson Pickett would inspire acts like The Gories and The Dirtbombs, and they in turn would influence a certain Jack White, who has his hands all over the current rock scene. I could waffle on about the influence the Detroit music scene has had on popular music but just give this a listen. It’s not exhaustive by any means, but these are all songs I dig by Detroit Natives. The White Stripes - Blue Orchid Parliament - Together The Dirtbombs - Ode To A Black Man MC5 - Gotta Keep Movin’ Gore Gore Girls - I’m Gonna Get You Yet Martha Reeves & The Vandellas - Mobile Lil the Dancing Witch Temptations - Ain’t Too Proud To Beg (Live!) The Detroit Cobras - He Did It Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - Mickey’s Monkey The Go - On The Corner Deastro - The Shaded Forests (Gift Giver’s Version) Wilson Pickett - Land Of 1000 Dances The High Strung - What A Meddler! The Four Tops - 7 Rooms of Gloom Unrelated Segments - Story Of My Life Death - Keep On Knocking The Raconteurs - Steady As She Goes Ted Nugent & The Amboy Dukes - Surrender To Your Kinks Sufjan Stevens - The Perpetual Self, Or “What Would Saul Alinsky Do?” [DOWNLOAD] High-res

Drudgeons | Resurget Cineribus: A Detroit Compilation

I’m heading off to Detroit this weekend to see friends and Thrice at St. Andrew’s Hall. Thinking about Detroit and its immensely deep musical history sparked some research and discovery of more great performers I hadn’t heard.

Countless greats in jazz, blues, and gospel were spawned from the Motor City, as well as a unique and prolific electronic music scene, but what I really love about Detroit is its Motown, garage rock, and punk heritage.

Bands like MC5 and Death in combination with Motown acts like the Temptations and Wilson Pickett would inspire acts like The Gories and The Dirtbombs, and they in turn would influence a certain Jack White, who has his hands all over the current rock scene.

I could waffle on about the influence the Detroit music scene has had on popular music but just give this a listen. It’s not exhaustive by any means, but these are all songs I dig by Detroit Natives.

Drudgeons - Like Mummies Fighting Mix

These songs are taken from albums that have been in pretty heavy rotation on my iPod and turntable over the last couple months. It’s been a highly uninspiring and unmotivated time and music always helps in the midst of that. Summer’s almost here so grab a beer, put the screens on instead of the storm windows, and turn this up to right where the neighbors can slightly hear it.

  1. New Young Pony Club - Chaos
  2. Bombay Bicycle Club - Magnet
  3. Dum Dum Girls - Yours Alone
  4. Bad Veins - Falling Tide
  5. The Walkmen - The Rat
  6. Doves - Sky Starts Falling
  7. Band Of Horses - Islands On The Coast
  8. The Black keys - Sinister Kid
  9. Phantogram - Futuristic Casket
  10. Metric - Stadium
  11. Open Hand - Cool
  12. Matt & Kim - Lessons Learned
  13. Lars & The Hands Of Light - Three to the Floor
  14. Broken Social Scene - Chase Scene
  15. Gorillaz - On Melancholy Hill
  16. Stars - Ageless Beauty

I pulled the trigger and registered drudgeons.com and pointed it here. I also made a mix today of a bunch of spring-inspired songs. There’s a bunch of new stuff I’ve been listening to a lot as of late, and also a few slightly older songs I dust off this time of year. Check it out. I hope you enjoy it. This is the order it should be in (itunes issues on my end): Apples In Stereo - Hey Elevator Max Justus - Please Please Please Discovery - Osaka Loop Line Kid Static - But To Do It Again Headphones - Natural Disaster Delta Spirit - Strange Vine Noah And The Whale - Shape Of My Heart Harlem Shakes - Strictly Game Shout Out Louds - Fall Hard Fang Island - Daisy Japandroids - Young Hearts Spark Fire Surfer Blood - Swim Kissaway Trail - Sdp The Besnard Lakes - Albatross LINK
