Good chance you know this one as the theme song for the Superman TV series "Smallville," which ran on the CW network from 2001-2011. Remy Zero made three full-length albums together, 'The Golden Hum' was their final one.

Brian Molko of Placebo told NME in 2017 about this successful single from the band: "I like the music for ‘Pure Morning’, but I’m not very keen on the lyrics. We did it during a b-sides session and we never really thought it would be a single. I just knocked out some lyrics really quickly and didn’t pay too much attention. If I’d have known it was going to be a single I probably would have spent a bit more time on the lyrics."

Happy 34th anniversary to Peter Gabriel's 'So' album, released on this day in 1986! If you were alive in 1986 then you were definitely hearing this one a lot on the radio.

"Trying to finalize plans to extricate my mom from Florida and get her back to our home in Michigan and was feeling a little "A Sort of Homecoming," since I haven’t seen her in almost six months. Thanks, John!!" - Ray in Milwaukee
