This week's picks by Danny Dorko
02/16/2026
Indie Pick Selected by Danny Dorko
“Fell in Love With a Girl”
The White Stripes · 2001
One minute fifty seconds of manic garage punk—no bass, all raw energy. Love versus lust compressed into a breathless sprint, where the brain can't keep up with the heart.
Current Year Selected by Danny Dorko
“Homewrecker”
SOMBR · 2026
Polished pop confession wrapped in emotional wreckage—wanting someone you shouldn't, knowing you'd be better for them anyway. Upbeat sonics, messy stakes.
Legacy Track Selected by Danny Dorko
“Bizarre Love Triangle”
New Order · 1986
Shimmering synths and drum machines outline romantic confusion with clinical precision. Detached yearning turned into a dancefloor anthem—post-punk melancholy you can't stop moving to.
