My son is a new DJ at college radio station WCSB. Instead of sending requests to him every week, I am creating a list of 20 obscure songs for him to choose from. He can ignore the list or play every single one. I am trying to only include songs from the year 2000 forward.
Prog Jenny by Alice Donut (2009)
From Alice Donut's last proper album, the beginning of Prog Jenny is a bit slow, but the end captures the death throes of a once-great punk band.
How About the Weather by The Plurals (2015)
The pride of Lansing, Michigan.
Just Breathe by Dead Bob (2023)
Out of the ashes of the classic punk band NoMeansNo, Dead Bob shouldn't exist, but it does.
Cleveland Polka by Mr. Gnome (2009)
Every college radio kid should have a favorite local band.
Mr. Grey by Pirate Signal (2018)
The video is actually really good.
Stereo Fire by Dreams From Gin (2010)
Probably the most obscure song on the list, I think I heard it come up on my Pandora mix once the first week it came out.
Black Hole by Puppy (2018)
Puppy is actually right on the edge of mainstream success....in the English Midlands.
Legion of Serpents by the Fatal Flying Guilloteens (2007)
One of the most abrasive punk bands you're ever going to find.
Procession of the Wounded by Old Man Gloom (2020)
This song is obscure.. for Aaron Turner
Snacktacular by Bolonium (2019)
A fairly obscure novelty song.
Do You Wanna Go to Heavan by Cancer Christ (2021)
Hmm, not sure if I should be promoting this.
I Must Break You by the Svetlanas (2015)
They're not the best band, but their lead singer is amazing.
Hawt Dawg by Milk Street (2024)
Bonus points for exploiting the Mickey Mouse copyright expiration.
Modern Drummer by Ungdomskulen (2007)
Into the Night by Death by Unga Bunga (2018)
Exit Sun by Shining (Norway) (2010)
Make sure you play Shining (Norway). Shining (Sweden) sucks.
Eclipse by Arenna (2012)
One of the Top 10 Songs over 10+ minutes.
Crack Baby Blues by Angst (2012)
Not the classic punk band Angst, but a different obscure punk band called Angst.
Dance of the Anunnaki by Itchy-O (2014)
Itchy-O isn't so much a band, but a musical collective.
Institutionalized by Brak (2018)
I've heard this version a thousand times. But on other formats it's not quite as popular.
