This week's picks by Danny Dorko
02/23/2026
Indie Pick Selected by Danny Dorko
“Such Great Heights”
The Postal Service · 2003
Glitchy synths and longing vocals turned long-distance heartache into indie electropop gold. Digital warmth wrapped in melancholy—a love letter sent through circuitry.
Current Year Selected by Danny Dorko
“You Got to Lose”
The Black Keys · 2026
Raw blues desperation recorded live in the room—all nerves exposed, screaming through grief. Garage rock stripped to its primal core, where loss becomes catharsis.
Legacy Track Selected by Danny Dorko
“Swing Life Away”
Rise Against · 2004
Acoustic punk ballad that trades fury for fragility—working-class love song from a Chicago front porch. Persistence in the face of hardship, quiet defiance instead of a scream.
