"Here’s a song that I’ve been listening to lately. It’s a throwback, but still very relevant."

Dr. Emily D. Hill

"Picture this. It's 2002 and 16 year old me wanted to attend Warped Tour in Fargo to see Flogging Molly with her punk rock friends and boyfriend...'"

Holly Blosser Yoder

"The South African dance song Pata Pata has been re-recorded, sampled, and covered many times since it became as a world-wide hit more than 50 years ago. The original by singer and anti-Apartheid activist Miriam Makeba is my favorite, but there is also a +Spanish collaboration with Chayanne, an all-instrumental version by the Muses, a choral one by the Soweto Gospel Choir, and a lounge-band version by the group Pink Martini, any of which will get you up and moving after weeks of studying!"

"I just like this one because Nic D and Connor Price both incorporate word play in their songs, and this one is a fun vibe!"

Veronica Sanchez

"These two have completely changed my perception on music. They are so incredibly talented and dynamic, and I love this live version of one of my favorite songs by them."
