Today’s Tunage: TGIF
Sure, it's Tuesday ... but so what. And sure, we don't usually play poppy stuff like this on any day of the week ... but today we're making an exception. In honor of Katy Perry's big win at the American Music Awards this week, here's the absolutely infectious "Last Friday Night" off of her latest

Here's Bob Mould and Sugar - one of our favorite alt-rock bands of the early 1990s. This is "Gee Angel," off the band's 1994 release File Under Easy Listening. As always our jukebox is your jukebox. If you’ve got a song you want to hear, email us and we’ll be sure to get it plugged into the

We've always loved MGMT ... This song, "Time to Pretend," is the debut single off of the band's first major label album, Oracular Spectacular ... although it previously appeared on a self-titled EP. Formed by Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden while the two were freshmen at Wesleyan University,

This has always been one of our favorite Radiohead songs ... and it's definitely one of the band's cooler videos (a nifty CGI effort from director Alex Rutterford). Released in 2003 off of the band's Hail to the Thief album, the song is called "Go To Sleep." As always our jukebox is your jukebox.

Here's Sacramento, California-based alt-rockers Cake with their 1997 single "The Distance," the second track off of the band's second album Fashion Nugget. This is just one of those jarringly unique songs that people tend to associate with a particular time and place in their lives ... For the

The other day we received a particularly colorful piece of hate mail from a reader in Walhalla, S.C. alerting us to the fact that an "Angel of Southern Justice" were coming for us. We're not sure why, but getting that letter made us think of this song from Southern Rock Gods Lynyrd Skynyrd ... (yes,

Here's another song we lifted from the Vancouver 2010 Olympic video game soundtrack ... It's called "Sing Sing" by Canadian pop punk rockers Marianas Trench, and it's off of their second studio album Masterpiece Theatre. The band's new album, Ever After, will be released next month. As always our

Ask any Radiohead fan to tell you their favorite song by the band and "I Might Be Wrong" probably isn't it ... It's off of 2001's Amnesiac - the second Radiohead album to experiment heavily with electronica (the first was Kid A, released nine months earlier). We've always liked both the song and

We love Eminem. Always have ... And to celebrate the rapper's 39th birthday, here's our favorite scene from his quasi-biographical movie 8 Mile. As always our jukebox is your jukebox. If you’ve got a song you want to hear, email us and we’ll be sure to get it plugged into the rotation. In

We've always liked Coldplay. And we don't really care what that says about us. They're exceptional songwriters - and they've managed to become insanely famous in an era in which it's harder than ever to do that. This is their latest, "Paradise." As always our jukebox is your jukebox. If you’ve

If you've never heard of The Decemberists before, you're missing out ... We got turned onto the band a few years back when we heard the song "Leslie Anne Levine" (off of the band's 2002 album Castaways and Cutouts). Anyway, here's their latest single, the early R.E.M.-sounding "Calamity Song." As
