“New Gold”, the wonderful collaboration between virtual band Gorillaz, Australian alternative psychedelic music project Tame Impala, and American rapper Bootie Brown, maintains it’s grip on the #1 spot for a third week, while “Ghosts Again” by Depeche Mode moves into the #2 spot. Jumping five spots each are “Kid” by The Revivalists, to #3, and “Eat Your Young” by Hozier, to #5. The raucous “Paid Off”, by British alt-rock band Oli Barton & the Movement, enters the top 10 at #10. They just released their biting new single “Left Alive in America?” on May 5th, and will be releasing their album Pipe Dreams on the 19th.
Making their debut this week are “Rescued” by the Foo Fighters, their first new release since the untimely death of drummer Taylor Hawkins, at #29, and “Hello”, by the always delightful L.A. band GROUPLOVE, at #30.

Nice to see that new Foo Fighters tune make your list. Ironically, I first started paying attention to Foo Fighters when they came out with what I think is a fun album of Bee Gees covers in July 2021, released under the moniker Dee Gees. Dave Grohl strikes me as a musician who appreciates great music by other artists, which I like. It’s something that’s not a given in the oftentimes ego-driven music business. I also want to take a closer look at Oli Barton & The Movement.

Fun in my RDX, started Spotify and the last three Eclectic Music Lover posts were at the top of the list, so I was rockin’ out to EML’s weekly best of, while cruising down the street. Thank you, sir. 💀

Definitely a solid line-up there! I fancy the PTM and Grouplove songs in particular. The Mike Shinoda collab track is something new though, that I wasn’t privy to. Looking forward to checking it out
