Waffles Staff Picks: March 2016 Edition

Waffles Staff Picks - March (November) Edition

Welcome to the March edition of the Waffles.fm Staff Picks. These were intended for November, hence the theme, but due to various site problems we've had, never got put up, so here they are now, and we should be able to get back on track with these picks going forward. 

Please remember we do not look to balance genres or purposely seek out diversity - these are simply albums by bands that we love, and hope that you find something you enjoy as well. Note that each pick may be an individual track, or an entire album (for the purpose of the theme). In every case, however, the entire album will be FL. Thanks go out to our resident designer groovyds for creating the collage for this month. 

If you notice that there are missing formats for any of these , feel free to add them, then, and this is important, report them using the report feature, asking for the torrent to be made freeleech. Remember, if you don't see the red FL banner on the torrent page, the torrent isn't freeleech. 

And in other news, we have a new mod...medicalfools! He's spearheading the Radio Waffles project, and hopefully that will be successful and will generate some activity around here. Welcome aboard!

icebox

Artist: The Chills

Album: Kaleidoscope World 

Track: I Love My Leather Jacket 

Originally released on a 12" in 1986, it was among the songs collected onto Kaleidoscope World for its 1989 US reissue. Martin Phillips wrote this song about the leather jacket bequeathed to him from former bandmate Martyn Bull, only 22 when he died of leukemia in 1983. This jacket is, as he puts it, his only concrete link with an absent friend, therefore, a rememberance of him. He wears the jacket in the music video:

 

Kaleidoscope World is an excellent anthology of early Chills singles. Other excellent tracks here include Pink Frost, Doledrums, Rolling Moon, and the title track.

lostsupper

Artist: Hüsker Dü

Album: Metal Circus

Track: Real World

"Hüsker Dü" means "do you remember" in some Scandinavian language. I do. I remember hearing this band for the first time during Jason Lee's part in Blind's Video Daze. I can close my eyes and replay most of his part by heart still. Those times were golden. We were healthy, loud, and honest.

radicaldino

Artist: The Used

Album: Artwork

in a world constantly knocking one down, with people thinking they know what is best for you shooting down your dreams and telling you to give up, learning to persevere and pick ones self up is invaluable to ones mental health and success within ones environment - after losing someone important to me and my dreams to relocate overseas falling apart, this album helped me through an extremely difficult time and reminded me there is always light at the end of the tunnel no matter how bleak things might seem at the time.

"sharpen up your teeth your dreams are more than worth defending, in a fight thats never ending..."
