Mux145: One For The Teenagers

Consider it one of those Back To Rock muxes. Sans the title change.

Subsequent listens of my initially-eh impression of Cloud Nothings' Here And Nowhere Else are reversing. Who knew an album like that could actually be called a grower? But since my new mux rules state that no band can be on two consecutive muxes, I'll likely go through their whole album one track per month and eventually toss it up to the Hall of Fame (where they'd join Japandroids' Post-Nothing and CN's own Attack On Memory). Helps that two advance tracks have already been muxed.

And the Green Day-to-Rage transition? Get outta here.

Boom.

9. Green Day - Brain Stew (Insomniac) (For JMG, because, eh, why not?)
10. Rage Against The Machine - Bulls On Parade (Evil Empire)
11. The Stooges - 1970 (Fun House)
