Do you remember almost a decade ago, playing Rock Band? This was the first song I ever got a perfect on expert level. Over and over, the solo part, acting like I was playing a real guitar. Missing one and rage quitting, well rage starting over and over and... well finally we got it. While the song has nothing to…
THE EPITOME OF 80's MONTAGE SONGS. Everytime I hear this song, it takes me to the All Valley Under 18 Karate Tournament. A young Daniel providing a show with his Miagi-do defensive karate. Watching those Cobra Kai's advance in the tournament, until it's one on one, well, 2 on one, with a brutal forced injury timeout, Daniel comes out and....…
Have you ever thought, man that sucked. Looked back on it and realized it was for the best. Every time I hear this song I think about the bullets I've dodged and the ones that I took a hit on but glad that those are now only scars but I am still fully functional. It's always going to come down…
OMG I love a show tune. Whether it's a movie with musical numbers or live theater. There is something about telling a story by song, and seeing the excitement created in the background while the song is being performed. From this movie, everything about this song just gets you hyped. The movement, and of course the content. Watching something created…
Every once in a while you've gotta do some self reflection and sometimes you dig a little deep and see some things you aren't so happy with. Then when you realize that what you've gone through is what makes you the strong person you are. Finding a way to be ok with what you have been through and making it…
I play this song every morning. What's funny about that is the first time I heard it I made fun of the band. Saw them live in Seattle opening for another band, and they were a little different. Then I saw them 5 more times, over the next 2 weeks (long story), and totally got into their vibe, and really…
I don't know what it is about angsty music that makes me pep up but it does. Avril has been one of my go to's since she first wow'd the world with her punk princess styles. Then she disappeared for many years battling against Lymes disease and made her comeback right before the pandemic. We sort of did the same…
Its been an incredible month filled with amazing music. Today on our edition of Music Unmasked we wanted to celebrate and have taken things back a decade when Rap Artists were collaborating in mass. As we created Steel Raccoon we formed our own Super Group of proven experts in the industry. We took the only Customer Service Consultant to win…
What is a Bop you ask? A beat so good you have to bounce to it. Today we bring DaBaby to the Steel Raccoon Spotify Playlist. DaBaby had a big surge to super stardom but was recently struck down by the public for his continued bad behavior. I mention this because not every business is for the mass market customer.…
Many times its the simplest of songs that capture our hearts and memories. Reaching an immortality in our hearts. That is exactly what "Here Comes the Sun" by the Beatles achieves. It was written in a dark period of time for the songwriter George Harrison. Just like the lyrics touch on, he sings about the light that is coming across…
