Got Nostalgia?

Yeah, we made it to 2025, and I know most of us are dragging ass trying to get back in the swing of things, myself included. Need some music motivation? I’ve got you.

1. 1000 Homo DJs - Supernaut

When Al Jourgensen was asked to contribute a song to the Nativity in Black: A Tribute to Black Sabbath album, he chose to cover ‘Supernaut.’ The first version recorded featured Trent Reznor on vocals, but when Trent’s label caught wind of his contribution to the song, the vocals were changed out with Al doing them instead. I prefer the Trent version, but that’s just me. Great cover, though.

1990

2. Scarling - City Noise

Are there any Jack Off Jill fans? Scarling is one of those hidden gems that, unless you know … then yeah … you just don’t know. Formed by vocalist Jessicka Addams and guitarist Christian Hejnal, Scarling is a noise pop/shoegaze band formed in Los Angeles in 2001. ‘City Noise’ is one of those tracks you can’t fully appreciate by listening to only once. No, you must repeat this song to enjoy it truly. Turn it up loud!
