2. THE PRODIGY “Spitfire” — That’s another song that gets me pumped up before the rock show. I like that band.
3. HARD-FI “Middle Eastern Holiday” — They’re kind of like a new version of the Clash. They’re from the UK, they’re badass. They’ve just got that grimy attitude with a little dance raga sound to it.
4. WEEZER “Troublemaker” — That’s me and my son’s theme song when we’re together. It’s the jam. He just jams out in the back of the car every time when I’m playing it. It’s cute.
5. SOCIAL DISTORTION “Highway 101” — That’s just a put-the-top-down, cruising type song. I think Mike Ness is a great storyteller. If you break it down, they are one of the most influential punk rock bands.
Live versions of Jacoby’s picks: The Beatsteaks, The Prodigy, Hard-Fi, Weezer and Social Distortion.
Other Digital Playlists:
Troublemaker is a great song! Hanson just did a cover of this song! They infused their own unique pop style to it–it’s very fun and enjoyable. A really refreshing take on the song. View it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGEPhtcSzlU
