Forgotten Favorite is a somewhat nostalgic look at rediscovered classics. The only rule is that each recording be at least five years old. This is my comfort music.

Avail - Tuning

“I think I misunderstood the magic of this town…”

Back in ‘94, I spent my freshman year NYE at an Avail show and it remains one of the best New Year’s nights I can remember.  The best anthemic hardcore band ever?  Probably.  The best emo band ever?  Maybe.  (Emo hadn’t been appropriated by mascara-wearing teeny-boppers and wasn’t a bad word back then.)

Possum Dixon - Watch The Girl Destroy Me

This is the only song I ever knew from this band but it still pops back up in my head every couple months. This is the original video which doesn’t highlight the singer’s crazy creepy blue eyes.

Desmond Dekker - Rudy Got Soul

Great song for a rainy Thursday evening and worth posting for that album cover alone.
