Hey man, "Minor Threat" by Minor Threat is a CLASSIC.

...Iron Maiden's gonna get you, no matter how far.
Bad Company is a pretty goofy band (though I still like 'Rock n Roll Fantasy') and the song is alright *shrug* (as is the 5FDP cover of that self titled tune).
Orthos, have you had a chance to see Wacken Open Air festival? Or Paganfest if youre in the states? A lot of those bands play in those places...Download Festival in UK too. Watching Amon Amarth or Kamelot or Turisas or Gamma Ray live is spectacular!

Agreed, though "All Right Now" is, imho, the second best song evah after BTO's Taking Care of Business.

Hey captain. Rancid just released a new record a couple weeks ago. "Raise Your Fist" sounded pretty good off of that...actually, I liked the whole record (even though its only like 33mins long total).
also Foo Fighters were on Lettermans show for a whole week back in October. This version of "Miracle" was touching.
I read that Metallica is going to be on an entire week of Craig Fergusons show before he takes off...wonder what that will be like?

Well, that post above will be my last for a week or so. Headed down to Corpus Christi TX for a dedication ceremony of a 5-generation-ago relative's grave (and visiting Galveston and Austin). The family chipped in to get a newer stone and we couldnt all get together for Veterans Day, but we're going to have the speeches on Saturday. (Yes Im taking the Alamo tour...and yes Im going to ask about the basement. RIP Jan Hooks).

Have fun!
In the meantime, I've been listening to a bunch of Galaxie 500 today.

The Monks - Black Monk Time
Hey you, kid, what are you listening to? Video game soundtracks? That limp crap on the radio? [Whacks kid upside the head]
Do yourself a favor, kid: Listen to the Monks.

Thanks to the feminists of color over at Jezebel who reminded me of this one:
Salt N Pepa--"None of Your Business"
Mr. Comrade and I are working on a project in which we render all of our political positions in '90s hip hop songs. I think this one can serve for "Decriminalize prostitution!"
And if she/wanna be a freak/and sell it on the weekend/It's none of your business!!!
Unless, you're one of her clients, I guess...

Tarot ► Love's Not Made For My Kind
I like this pre-Nightwish band and current side project more than Nightwish itself.
Symphony X ► The Sacrifice
This is another band I like quite a lot-though, not the song you have listed (here's Iconoclast instead)
Rhapsody Of Fire ► Unholy Warcry
This band kind of gets a reputation as a Dragonforce-type over the top-ness to it, but I like em!
Korpiklaani ► Pine Woods
I feel bad that I missed these guys in KC a couple months ago. It was a mid-week Paganfest show that I could've asked for the time off, but needed the vacation to Texas more...PS: Texas (especially Corpus Christi) is gorgeous!

My parents music scene is usually quite a bit different than mine, and I've been in the van for a week with them on this Texas genealogical expedition and these couple songs crossed over and fit in my music wheelhouse.
Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard - Pancho and Lefty
Kris Kristofferson - Sunday Morning Coming Down actually, they had a local guitar player's cover of this one on a cd.

Good stuff =) I really can't agree with the first one, I like Tarot but I've always preferred Nightwish myself. Granted that might be because I just have a big appreciation for that style of "soprano female lead with metal backing" sort of thing, likewise why they, Tristania, Sirenia, Birthday Massacre, After Forever, Lacuna Coil, Delain, Epica, Within Temptation, etc. etc. etc. keep showing up in my playlist. (I use Jango for my music listening. I'm not picking these individual songs deliberately =) Not all the time, anyway. It sorts them by artist, though you can upvote/downvote individual songs.)
I'm actually really looking forward to how Nightwish'll fare with Floor Jansen as their frontlady now, given I like a fair majority of After Forever's stuff and she seems more fitting for Nightwish's older style than Annette was.

Native Texan here, eighteen years born and raised before relocation to Arizona then Tennessee and now Georgia. Been to Corpus several times growing up, though my stomping grounds were the Victoria area. Can't disagree with you at all =D

Also, dont know how long this will stay online:
Synergistic weirdiosity, I just came back from Mr. and Mrs. Comrades' house where I made them watch Yo Majesty and they made me watch the latest(? I think) episode of SNL with Chris Rock and Prince.
Hate to say it, but it was a pretty solid episode.

Got all nostalgic and looked up some vids by Bostonians (not all natives) who only achieved modest levels of success and then I would run into in used record stores:
The Real Kids
The Lyres
Little Joe Cook and the Thrillers
Slapshot
Galaxie 500
Mission of Burma
Papas Fritas
Al Kooper

The Other Half. This is pretty fierce; also been listening to The Leaves and The Strawberry Alarm Clock, which are not. Charmingly goofy, definitely.
