14. Inhaler - “My Honest Face” - Single
15. !!! - “UR Paranoid” - Wallop 

Cage the Elephant came out with a AMAZING album that I couldn't stop listening to from start to finish.  Love that TR/ST did a Robyn, releasing to albums in parts.  The Drums "Pretty Cloud", is so different from what they do and I hope they continue with a dancy track again.  The Faint "Quench The Flame" reminds me of a freestyle tune for 2019.   And, if your a U2 fan, you should checkout, Inhaler!

As always, to hear the tunes, go to my website at: www.JDN73.com and go to PODCAST.  You can either download it or just press play.  Happy New Year and see you soon.

Cheers,
