The only thing I really can say is Manchin is a better option than the Republican that would most likely replace him. Kind of like how it is preferable to be stabbed through the hand over being stabbed in the face.

Another group that I want to say that the entire, Super Mega Fantastic, album is worth a listen.
And their follow up, Wasa Tusa, is a great chill out album
Here is one I was recently exposed through from Henry Rollins show on KCRW.
A cover of a Lavern Baker song.
From their Bandcamp page
The Casual Dots are a trio formed in Washington, DC in 2002, featuring Christina Billotte (Slant 6, Quixotic, Autoclave) on vocals and guitar, Kathi Wilcox (Bikini Kill, Frumpies) on guitar and backing vocals, and Steve Dore (Snoozers, Deep Lust) on drums.
Boot Liquor was the station that introduced me to groups like The Devil Makes Three. I haven't listened in a few years, but it was an oasis of non-bro country back in the day.
One I have listened to off and on for nearly 20 years now is Radio Paradise.
It's not an exclusively Alternative station, but a fairly wide ranging mix of classics, b-sides, world, electronic, etc. All fairly low-key but interesting.
They introduced me to so many bands over the years. And it is rare to not hear something I fall in love with any time I turn them on.
That's pretty awesome. I like that you've kept the tradition up for your anniversaries too.
I am a music obsessive. But to be honest my choices might make my wife's ears bleed. At least she is cool with me blaring music through the house every chance I get.
I remember people using new wave mostly when referring to the bands of the time that didn't fit into the standard genres. But, I was a kid and growing up way out in the middle of nowhere. Which means there was a lot I simply didn't know at the time. Now I am older, grayer, and still don't know much of anything.
Definitely aging myself.
I don't even recall the genre alternative being used at the time. This I consider closest to what became considered alternative from my pre-teen years.
La Costa Brava by Ted Leo and the Pharmacists. This song and album is in rotation no matter what else I happen to be listening to.

As a resident of this state it bugs the shit out of me to know these are the folks my neighbors vote for.
And when I see a reference to Utah in the news, I immediately wonder what kind of stupid or horrible thing have we done this time.
