Day 24: The Mars Volta, Wax Simulacra | 30-Day Song Challenge 🎶

Listening “Wax Simulacra” by The Mars Volta again makes me lament the band’s breakup all over again on Day 24 of the 30-Day Song Challenge.

After completing two thirds of the challenge, The Musical Hype presents 30-Day Song Challenge 🎶: The Playlist, Part 2 🎧.

“11 Superb Songs, Five Minutes or More” features by Childish Gambino, David Bowie, Fiona Apple, Jane’s Addiction & PARTYNEXTDOOR.

“15 Colorful Songs, Approximately Two Minutes or Less” features brief songs by City Girls, Halsey, Kendrick Lamar, Lil Uzi Vert & Rihanna.

What better ‘song that’s a classic favorite’ to fulfill Day 16 of the 30-Day Song Challenge than “Little Red Corvette” by Prince from 1999?

For the 80th interview on The Musical Hype, we gain some great background and insight on the France-based, rock/punk/pop band, Spacejam.

“Wasted on You,” the promo single from The Bitter Truth, the forthcoming LP by Evanescence, takes on additional meaning thanks to COVID-19.

“12 Simply Terrific Before or After Songs” features music by Billie Eilish, Black Atlass, Grimes, Meghan Trainor & Moses Sumney.

“20 Songs about Apparel: Clothes & Shoes Reloaded” features music courtesy of Beyoncé, City Girls, Justin Timberlake, Myylo & NoMBe.

“15 Songs Where We are in This Together!” features music courtesy of The 1975, For KING & COUNTRY, Jill Scott, Lauv & RAC.

Danny Smart combines country with rock perfectly. He has all the qualities of a major country artist, but he also has a Rocky edge.

Zero 9:36 (Matthew Cullen) brings ample energy and quite the vibe on his aggressive, confident rap-rock single, “The End.”
