I have a deep and abiding hatred for everything Aerosmith did after the "Walk This Way" collaboration with Run-DMC. Perhaps I'm being unfair, but the reunited Aerosmith always struck me as the worst example of lcd, uninspired corporate classic rock. All those Alicia Silverstone videos were alright to watch with the sound off, but damn those were some terrible songs!
I loves me some Toys in the Attic, though. Sure, some of the Zeppelin-isms are obvious, and they coped their look off The New York Dolls, but in their prime they could rock and that's really all that matters.
Sweet Emotion, live 1977.
Toys in the Attic, live 1975.
No More, No More , live '75.
ONE OK ROCK 's:
Keep it Real
Answer is Near
Etcetera
No Scared
Liar

It's pretty good! And the English used actually sounds like English instead of Ingrish. :p

I love this album!
Has she made another one yet? And she's from NZ, right?
The best Surfin' USA cover ever.
"Surfin' USA", of course, got the Beach Boys sued by Chuck Berry for copyright infringement.
The Futureheads
This came out around when Franz Ferdinand got big and all those bands re-doing postpunk as pop music were around and I was in heaven.
It reminds me a lot of the first XTC album, but with a bit more crunch.
I didn't like their second album as much and then I lost track.
Robot
A To B
Decent Days and Nights
I've also been listening to a Trojan Records comp of rocksteady sides produced by Clement "Coxsone" Dobb and Red Rice by Eliza Carthy who is second generation Brit-folk royalty.
Punk/Ska time
Many hearty hee-hees in that bunch!

Sadly the Rhomb are no more... I used to live down the road from them... funny guys, at the Big Festivals in Sydney they could get the crowd really going.
Another guy who used to live a few blocks over was Paul Mac from Itch-e And Scratch-e, Boo Boo And Mace, and Daniel Johns (Silverchair) side project The Dissociatives

Not true. They never officially broke up, but ‘re-formed’ and toured last year or so when Jay (the lead singer) got back from swanning around Asia. They released a new album last week.

I met Billy Joel once. Not a big fan of his music, but he was a real nice guy AND he successfully identified obscure Woody Allen quotes. AAAAAAND he had a smoking-hot twenty-three year old brunette on his hip!
Big shot, indeed.
Beirut has a new one out. This song is nice.

My two favorite lines:

I've been robbing m----f---- since the slave ships!"
and
"Word the mother, I'm dangerous,
Crazier than a bag of f---- angel dust!"
Hee hee!
NSFW, obviously.
Edgar Winter Group, Frankenstein
+100
For those of you who need FIVE MORE MINUTES of Frankenstein with Edgar shamelessly showing off and the rest of the band as high as kites.
A rainy day mixtape post:
Sonic Youth--In the Kingdom #19 I don't know why he edited out the musical climax
The Futureheads--Stupid and Shallow live
The Mighty Hannibal--The Truth Shall Make You Free
If you only listen to one of these songs, listen to this one!
A friend of mine loaned me both the new Lonely Island "Turtleneck and Chain" and Weird Al "Alpocalypse".
They were good for 1-2 spins each.
I still love about 90% of Threw it on the Ground and burned that song onto my mp3 player but the others; Trouble on Dookie Island and Jack Sparrow and those...meh. I returned the cd.
Al has the amazing 'CNR' and 'Party in the CIA' and some of 'Polka Face', and probably the best song hes written Skipper Dan. it's pretty dam depressing. I already had 4-5 tracks from the 'internet leaks' EP.
Not a good day for funny stuff for me.
