So, I’ve been away lately. Amongst other things, I’ve attended a couple awesome concerts.
First, I went to see Wilco at Coney Island. Awesome show. Most expected (and possibly enjoyed) songs were I’m the man who loves you (sans Total Pros *sniff*) and Hate it Here (70s funky version). I should probably publicly apologize to the [...]

Fuming over goddamn idiots and animals everywhere is no way to start the weekend. Yeah, I’ll shoot myself before I submit to the no good goddamn new age hippie belief that thinking possitive will somehow fix stuff (tree hugging version of religious prayer, if you ask me). And not thinking about it doesn’t change anything. [...]

Aleks Syntek y la Gente Normal’s “El Camino.”
Still to this day my favorite song of his. I gotta say, I like a lot better his early stuff. This one must’ve come out between ‘92 and ‘94. I know it was just the musical style of the day, but I really like [...]

I often sing while driving, I don’t have a particularly good voice, but I still do it. Whatever. Now, when I’m driving alone I will often sing loud. What can I say, I love a good screaming song (hence my mancrush on sing-screaming god Chris Cornell).
Now, my all-time absolute mostest favoritest song to sing in [...]

So here I am to get you through sucktastic Mondays. Here’s a couple kickass, dirty-rock tunes to lift your moods into something resembling ready-to-do-some-actual-work.
First, The Black Crowes covering Ottis Reding’s “Hard To Handle”
Secondly, the band that basically defined this very sound: The Faces. This is the rather awesome song “Stay With [...]
