The Rolling Stones- Exile on Main Street

I've never been all that into the Rolling Stones. Yes, I know it's almost sacregilious.
I'm sure that someday they'll click with me. Until then, I'll wait.
This is the album most critics say is their best. I'm gonna put in on my ipod and give it another chance.

The Rolling Stones: "Exile on Main Street"

AC/DC- 4 Albums!

Now this, my friends, is what you should be listening to.
Highway to Hell is my personal favorite album of theirs.

AC/DC: "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap"
AC/DC: "Highway to Hell"
AC/DC: "Powerage"
AC/DC: "The Razors Edge"

Death Cab for Cutie- 3 Albums

I'm going to be brutally honest. I think that DCFC blow goats. They are one of the worst bands around right now.
Rarely does a band come along that is more bland, predictable and derivitive. I don't understand why people like them.

Then why am i posting this? I have no idea. I guess it's this feeling of finding it for free and feeling slightly guitly about holding it back from other people purely based upon my own biases. I just figured that the musical tastes of some of my visitors seem to be in line with this band.

They suck. But download their crap if you want.

Death Cab for Cutie: "Transatlanticism"
Death Cab for Cutie: "You Can Play These Songs With Chords"
Death Cab for Cutie: "Plans"

Wolf Parade- Apologies to the Queen Mary

Still overhyped.
Still worth a listen.
Still too many bands with "Wolf" in their names.

Wolf Parade: "Aplogies to the Queen Mary"

Faith No More- Angel Dust

This is by far the best Faith No More album. As you listen to it, you can physically hear Mike Patton coming into his own as an artist. It was all shits n giggles up until then. But at this point, when Mike pretty much took control of the entire band, you notice that their is something much more immediate going on.
There are so many great songs on here. If you've ever had any interest in hearing more by them, this is the place to go.

Faith No More: "Angel Dust"

Death from Above 1979 - You're a Woman, I'm a Machine

Hot action right here. Imagine stoner rock if it was a little faster. 
Blah blah blah. Just download it.

Death from Above 1979: "You're a Woman, I'm a Machine"

Lewis Black- The Carnegie Hall Performance

He's funny. I like him.
This is his new CD. It is also a live special of his the HBO is airing now. Get it.

Lewis Black: "The Carnegie Hall Performance"

Link of the Day - 6/14/06

Remember way back when i started this here site and would try to post a "Link of the Day" every day? I do to. Why did i stop doing it? i don't know.
When i read this, it reminded me that i need to start doing it again.

Robert Johnson- The Complete Recordings

If you listen to rock music of any kind, this is a set of discs that must be in your collection.
Don't have them? Seriously? Geez.
Go find any book about the history of rock and roll and turn to the first page of the first chapter. Right there you will find information about this guy.

Okkervil River- Stars too Small to Use

AND WE'RE BACK!
I loved the Black Sheep Boy LP and Appendix EP they released last year. It appears all their stuff gets better and better with every release.
This is an EP of theirs from way back in 2000. Check it out. Let me know if it deserves a place on the ipod.
