This Monday, A&E's sun and sin-soaked The Glades kicks off its fourth season and star Jordan Wall (who plays the overzealous Daniel Green) assembled an exclusive playlist for ETonline!
Although the show's setting plays host to a whole lotta murders, in reality, we still dream of visiting Florida's Glades!
Jordan Wall's Gotta Getaway Playlist
1. When I Come Around - Green Day
Favorite song by my favorite band. It was the first music video I ever saw, really welcoming me into the whole MTV generation. The repetitive riff in the track is so simple, yet so intoxicating, reeling you right in within the opening seconds.
2. Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in My Hand - Primitive Radio Gods
The perfect blend of melody and lyric, which never fails to affect me on some level no matter how many times I listen to it. It is the ultimate example of music and poetry being linked...

The 1990s are often remembered as the decade where grunge ruled the world, but in reality, the Seattle sound only really lorded over the beginning of the decade. The time before the turn of the millennium was dominated by nü-metal, and in between you had four or five years of weirdness. It's the time when dance music tried to take over rock, when Radiohead made Ok Computer, when the Elephant 6 collective saw its creative peak and when a lot of odd little pop singles made it on the radio. If you were listening to rock radio around 1995, you were hooked up to tracks like Primitive Radio Gods' "Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth With Money in My Hand," Butthole Surfers' "Pepper" and Presidents of the United States of America's "Lump." It was truly a thrilling (albeit confusing) time to be a fan of this strange thing called "alternative.

There was a lot of terrible music generated in the wake of the fall of grunge in the '90s, but one of the most refreshing aspects of that era was that just about anything could become a hit. In fact, a lot of times it felt like the weirder a band or a song was, the more likely it was for them to score a huge hit. This was...

Remember when radio was really, really weird? In the late 1990s, there was a gap between the dominant forces in modern rock. Grunge had sputtered but the nü metal movement had yet to take hold, which left about a three year window where modern rock radio was just bizarre. Odd tunes like Marcy Playground's "Sex and Candy," Harvey Danger's "Flagpole Sitta," Nada Surf's "Popular" and Primitive Radio Gods' "Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth With Money in My Hand" became inescapable radio staples, partially because they were great songs but also because nobody really knew what else to do. It was a wild time, because you never knew what was going to break out. It seemed like anything could become a hit, and as a result, the radio world felt a little more open-minded a free-wheeling for a time.
