From Max:

SONGS THAT I NEVER HEAR ON THE RADIO. EVER.

-Beck "Pressure Zone" (One of many songs from Beck's super underrated Midnite Vultures that I've NEVER heard on the radio, KSLG or otherwise.)

-Sonic Youth "Sacred Trickster" (Just a month old, I'm crossing my fingers that the newest SY will get a little radio love. Twenty-five years deep, and still churning out exceptional music.)

-New Order "Crystal" (Fun fact that almost everyone knows: The Killers got their name from the fictional band that played in this New Order music video.)

-St. Vincent "Now Now" (Perhaps the one on this list who may be "too indie" for mainstream play, Annie Clark is still a winner in my book. Really lovely voice, too.)
