Welcome to the Third Song In version of Tuesdays at the record store -- new music day! It also works for whatever new movies or books were available at your local Blockbuster or Borders (neither of which exist anymore).
Since those experiences are now few and far between, we thought having a "Staff Picks" section for each of us to recommend new releases would be helpful.
Let us know what you think!
Tom is recommending this album from a relatively new group, which he described as "old school rock" comparable to Springsteen's "The River."
Tom is recommending another short film (thank you Amazon Prime). This won the Oscar for best live action short in 2023. Very well-acted and poignant, this is the story of two brothers dealing with their mother's death in rural Ireland. There is enough emotion and conflict for a feature here.
For Episode 7, Tom recommended this Oscar-winning short film from 2020, starring rapper Joey BadA$$. The film combines a Groundhog Day-style fantastical plot with the realities of police brutality magnified by the George Floyd incident. A must-see.
Tom viewed this retrospective of Tom Cruise's cinematic career in the guise of an advertisement for the upcoming film "Digger," which will release on October 2, 2026. Not sure about the film, but Tom loved the trailer.
Tom found this great new album from an up-and-coming artist at 3 am while watching a rerun of an episode of the Kelly Clarkson Show in Puerto Rico. You never know. . .
Slightly different sound from this band, but Tom really likes it, recommends "Dog Years" in particular.
Really cool cover of the classic Butthole Surfers song. Not an easy song to take on, but Goodman's version is really outstanding. Exactly what a great cover should be.
Koe Wetzel is becoming a bigger and bigger deal, further highlighted by this great duet with Ella Langley, who is herself becoming a superstar. I'm still listening for now but this growing popularity is making it hard...
New duo from Bozeman, Montana. Great songwriting combined with a Caamp-like vibe.
This collaboration of two 3SI favorites is an example of great Americana music. Chris is hoping for more combined work from these artists.
Chris recommends this collaboration between one of his new-favorite bands and the driving force of Wilco.
Chris recommends this album of re-recorded classics from one of his all-time favorite bands. Full album drops on August 28, 2026.
Interesting combination of songs and spoken word. Another great outing from a singer-songwriter with an unforgettable voice.
Another raw and rousing song by Seattle's Dragged Under. I love the banter caught on tape before the band plows into a powerful protest anthem fitting for our times
Guest picks for Season 11 coming soon.
