On The Move:
half•alive - arrow
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - O.N.E.

Commentary:
• “The News” by Canadian band July Talk is my first #1! This is currently lingering in the 20s on the Canada Rock/Alt chart. 
• I understand “arrow” is 2-years-old but I’m still going to let it chart since this band hasn’t released anything since 2019, and because this song is new to me.
• I’ll probably highlight two songs each week on “On The Move”.

[Doc Indie Party Rock]

Nice. Hopefully you keep it going.
