The Bravery - An Honest Mistake

So I didnt know who sang this song until it appeared in my head today. At first I thought this might be The Strokes. They have that simple mic, garage song.

SNL - What's up with That?

http://www.hulu.com/watch/102975/saturday-night-live-what-up-with-that

"Ooooo eeeeee. What up with that?" That's how I woke up today.

Radiohead - Optimistic

I can't believe this album is almost 10 years old.

It still sounds "new" to me.

I Want You - Kings of Leon

This song goes out to Nikki and Brandon who dragged me to a Kings of Leon concert. I had a great time.

Soundgarden - Pretty Noose

When this video first came out, MTV wouldn't show it. The murder at the end of the video was considered "too heavy".

I Could Have Danced All Night - Julie Andrews

I have no idea where this came from.

Destiny's Child - Say My Name

This earworm is dedicated to all those who joined in on Amber's birthday kareoke bash. I forgot who sang this one, but it stuck in my head until today.

The Police - Don't Stand So Close To Me

Great song. Creeeepy lyrics.

OutKast - Hey Ya!

I know the tune is a little poppy, but the lyrics are actually really good.

Rolling Stones - You Can't Always Get What You Want

This is an amazing recording of this classic. I think the Stones get a little radio overplayed sometimes, but they still are an amazing band.

M.I.A. - Paper Planes

Everyone's a winner, we're making our fame.

The Doors - Love Her Madly

I first listened to The Doors at my first job. We would test the CD player in a computer using this album.

Goo Goo Dolls - Better Days

Today I woke up and I knew I had a good dream, but I can't remember it.

Bummer.

Queens of the Stone Age - Leg of Lamb

If you're just tuning in, this is one of the best newer metal bands out today.

There I said it.

Michael Jackson - Smooth Criminal

Anyone else kinda creeped out by the three kids right at the beginning of the video.

God's Gonna Cut You Down - Johnny Cash

An amazing song.

Apocalyptica - I'm Not Jesus

Whoa, check out the hard rock cellists. Gimmicks always work in metal.

Little Bribes - Death Cab For Cutie

I didn't know the song or artist for this song. It took me about twenty minutes of Googling to figure it out.

Good song though!

The Black Crowes - Goodbye Daughters of the Revolution

How cool are the Black Crowes? So cool.

Chevelle - The Clincher

I haven't decided if I like Chevelle yet.

DragonForce - Through the Fire and Flames

These hippies need to get a haircut.

Bullet - Mason Jennings

Normally I don't like posting these kareoke style videos but the lyrics to this song are great.

Mainstreet - Bob Seger

So I had no idea, until today, that this was a Bob Seger song.

Wild Cherry - Play That Funky Music

This song was Billboard's number one song the year I was born.

That doesn't make me like the song any better.

Vince Gill - Go Rest High On That Mountain

Is that Dave Coulier singing harmony?

Mad World - Gary Jules

This is an excellent cover of the Tears for Fears classic.

Total downer though...

Pink Floyd - Have a Cigar

Happy Pumpkin Pie Day!

Have a cigar

Scorpions - Still Loving You

Want some awesome this morning?

You got it!

Collective Soul - Next Homecoming

I couldn't find this song on Youtube, but you can listen to a sample here.

I think I listened to this album about 1,000 time this year. Thanks to Skippy for letting me borrow his copy.

Chris Isaak - Speak of the Devil

He's got such a great voice. This recording doesn't do him much justice.

The Flaming Lips - Its Summertime

This song is a little ironic since it's really cold this morning.

Tenacious D - Kickapoo

My very first concert was Tenacious D. I haven't been the same since.

Lush - De Luxe

I only know this song from Rock Band, but I do think it's pretty cool.

Billy Idol - White Wedding

The best part of this song is the rolling bass line. Crank it up!

I Could Have Danced All Night - Sound of Music

Ok, I feel like I need to preface this one:

I grew up in a very consersative, Christian home. I wasn't allowed to listen to the radio (even Christian Radio!). I couldn't watch a lot of movies, especially if they were too violent or sexual. And my mom hated Disney.

But musicals were safe.

That all said. I know every word to every song in Sound of Music and Fiddler on the Roof.

Blink 182 - The Rock Show

This is the day Punk died.

Deep Purple - Hush

I need to listen to more Deep Purple.

Motorhead - Ace of Spades

Yeah, Metal for breakfast!

M.I.A. - Paper Planes

This was mashed-up in my head with Baby You Were Born to Rock by the Boss.

Rush - The Spirit of Radio

I'm not a Rush fan.

Beck - Guess I'm Doing Fine

Beck is one of my most favorite Christian Scientists.

David Bowie - China Girl

Weird song, but that's Bowie.

Jay-Z - Allure (DJ Danger Mouse Remix)

This is so much better than the original.

Warren Zevon - Werewolves Of London

Rest in peace, Zevon.

Sorry about Kid Rock screwing up your classic with some fake remake. If it helps, I never bought any Kid Rock albums.

Piggies - The Beatles

I'm sure this song has some deep, social commentary.

The Beatles - Why Don't We Do It In The Road

No one will be watching us.

David Bowie - Let's Dance

Put on your red shoes and dance the blues!

SNL - What's up with That?

Watch the dancer in the back.

Kings Of Leon - Crawl

Doesn't it feel like a Friday?

Maybe it really *is* Friday and we have the calendar all screwed up.

Alison Krauss and Robert - Plant in Please Read the Letter

I didn't even listen to this album this weekend. They have invaded my brain.

Neil Diamond - Sweet Caroline

I wonder if Neil gets really tired of singing this song. "Tired all the way to the bank!" as my mom would say.

Dream Baby - Roy Orbison

This video is like a Where's Waldo of famous people.

And the song is amazing.

AC/DC - Whole Lotta Rosie

The first time I heard this song, my buddy, Jeff, played it on his acoustic.

It rocked so much. I think his version is the best.

R.E.M - Losing my religion.

I heard just recently that the term "Losing my Religion" means to lose your temper.

So there ya go.

Black Star - Radiohead

Nice live recording here of Thom and Co.

Screaming Trees - Nearly Lost You

This song is starting to stalk me.

Screaming Trees - Nearly Lost You

Hey, there's Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age!

Man, I love this song.

The Cars - Just What I Needed

Actually, it IS the ribbons in your hair.

Kings of Leon - Mollys Chambers

This was during their "Lynyrd Skynyrd" period.

Chemical Brothers - Block Rockin´ Beats

Are they really brothers?

Beyoncé - Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)

Imma let you finish and I'm really happy for you, but this video isn't that awesome.

Silversun Pickups - Lazy Eye

This is another newer band that I've really started enjoying.

Kings Of Leon - Revelry

I dream of revelry too... okay, I don't. I dream of donuts. Mmm donuts.

The Beatles - Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except for Me and My Monke

Who named this one? A monkey did, that's who.

The Flaming Lips - In the Morning of the Magicians

You ever have one of those mornings when you wake up waaay early and you're wide awake? I hate that.

AC/DC - You Shook Me All Night Long

I love the thinly-veiled sexual innuendos of this song: "She told me to come but I was already there."

Dear Prudence - The Beatles

I had a great dream last night. You don't get the details.

The Beatles - With A Little Help From My Friends

I think playing Rock Band: Beatles for a few hours yesterday influenced today's earworm.

Bad Company - Rock and Roll Fantasy

My rock and roll fantasy involves Marlee Matlin on bass, a gallon of whipped cream, and a Zorro Mask.

Divinyls - I Touch Myself

I'd like to dedicate this song to my kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Eveland.

I always thought she was really pretty.

Kings of Leon - Fans

KOL (or Kings, as some people call them) put on a great live show.

You should have them play at your wedding.

Puddle of Mudd - She Hates Me

The best part of this video is the kid in the class room.

L7 - Pretend That We're Dead

Whatever happened to L7?

(last time I asked about a band, they responded)

Screaming Trees - Nearly Lost You

Really? Again?

Good thing I like this song, cuz it's on major repeat.

The Beatles - Sexy Sadie

Love the piano part of this song. It really fills in the song.

The Beatles - I Am The Walrus

I always think of Chris Farley when I hear this song.

Sexy Sadie - The Beatles

You made a fool of everyone.

The Beatles - Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds

My mom used to sing the chorus to this trippy, Beatles classic. She knew what it meant, but I doubt she ever did LSD.

The Beatles - Yer Blues

The White Album. Is there another two-disc set which is any better?

I don't think so.

Weezer - My Name is Jonas

I still miss the old bassist. He was cool.

Waylon Jennings - Its Not Supposed To Be That Way

I like the Willie Nelson version more.

Robert Plant and Alison Krauss - Gone Gone Gone (Done Moved On)

Good song... lame video.

Screaming Trees - Nearly Lost You

Whatever happened to the Screaming Trees.

Beyoncé - Halo

I do enjoy the Beyonce.

Jack Johnson and Ben Harper - High Tide or Low Tide

Such a great cover of this song.

Saving Abel - Addicted

This song is lame. Im sorry it's in my head and Im sorry I shared it with you.

Steve Miller Band - Take The Money And Run

Wow, I just stumbled over this great, live recording.

Sponge - Plowed

Is that Scott Wiland singing? He has the same strange, stage presence.

Coheed and Cambria - Welcome Home

This song is perma-stuck.

Kings Of Leon - Use Somebody

KOL has such a great sound.

Aerosmith - Crying

Is that Stephen Dorf as the boyfriend?

Mettalica - Battery

Why hasn't this song been used for a Duracel commerical yet?

Blondie - One Way or Another

Blondie is so hot.

Coheed and Cambria - Welcome Home

If you play this song on Rock Band before you go to bed, it will be in your head in the morning. Fo' Sho'.

The Strokes - Reptilia

Best line of this song: "The room is on fire and she's fixing her hair."

John Butler Trio - Groovin' Slowly

I want you to know you're the brightest star in my sky.

Jimi Hendrix - Little Wing

I'll give you a little warning. I've been listening to a lot of Mr. Hendrix lately.

The next few weeks could be Jimi heaven.

You have been warned.

Bonnie Raitt

I had about 7 Bonnie Raitt songs jumbled up in my head today. Pretty much every song from "Takin' My Time".

Coheed and Cambria - Welcome Home

I hate that I love this song.

Modern English - I Melt With You

This song sounds like something a Bond villan would say.

"And now, Mr. Bond, using my fully-functioning jumbo, neon-laser umbrella; I'll stop the world and melt with you!"

Welcome Home (Sanitarium) - Metallica

I love the smell of metal in the morning.

Ratt - Round And Round

You put an arrow... in my heart!!

This is a guilty pleasure song for me.

Slow Ride- Foghat

I need to find out where they came up with the name Foghat. Cuz that's a pretty sweet band name.

Jimmy Eat World - The Middle

Fun fact: Jimmy Eat World changed the name of their "Bleed American" album after 9/11.

The Dwarves - Like You Want

Thanks to Darrell for introducing me to The Dwarves.

I'll never be the same.

Billy Squier - Everybody Wants You

Tell me this isn't the best video you've seen all week.

You've Got Another Thing Comin' - Judas Priest

Badass Thursday!

Kings Of Leon - Notion

KoL is becoming one of my new favorite bands.

Don't knock it.

Lady Gaga - Poker Face

Why?! Why does this song get into my head!?

I'm about to take a drill to my temple to get it out!

Jethro Tull - Aqualung

Aqualung, my friend...

If I hear even two seconds of this song, it gets stuck for about 12 hours.

Living Colour - Cult Of Personality

I can't decide if I like this song.

Radiohead - My Iron Lung

I am offically addicted to this song.

A Most Peculiar Man - Simon & Garfunkle

Hey! Two in a row!

A semi-rare occurance in Joe's Brain...

A Most Peculiar Man - Simon & Garfunkel

I guess I've been listening to S&G a lot lately.

Simon and Garfunkel - I Am a Rock

I am a very sleepy rock.

Jumble Day

I woke up with about 7 songs all mashed-up in my head.

The Black Crowes - Twice as Hard

Twice as Hard to Handle?

Tracy Bonham - Sharks Can't Sleep

The underwater effects are terrible, Tracy.

L7 - Pretend We're Dead

Gurlz rule. Guyz drool.

Panic! At The Disco - Nine in the Afternoon

This is one of those songs when you see the video you like the song less.

I'd really rather not see the lead singer in his pjs singing at a carpet-level camera.

Vesuvius - Promised Land

I only know this song from Rock Band. I guess it's in The Rocker too.

Keri Hilson - Turnin Me On

Kari needs to get her bipolar diagnosed.

Flobots - Mayday!!

Thanks to Dan for introducing me to the Flobots.

Beck - Little One

Beck looks a little "Napoleon Dynamite" in this video.

M.I.A. - Paper Planes

Thanks to Kevin for helping me find this song.

I don't think the cash machine audio clip has been used since Pink Floyd's "Money".

Def Leppard - Pour Some Sugar On Me

You got the peaches... I got the cream.

Soundgarden - Burden In My Hand

I always wince at the part of the video when he throws the guitar in the sand.

Tokens - The Lion Sleeps Tonight

This song will now be stuck in your head for the next week.

You're welcome.

Collective Soul - Why Pt 2

Too bad the cameraman couldn't figure out how to film the guitar solo... dumbass.

Collective Soul - Precious Declaration

I think Collective Soul is the wacky combonation that is 90s rock: Emotional lyrics that don't match the distorted guitar...

Soundgarden - Burden In My Hand

The truth is lying beneath the riverbed.

I heard a rumor that Soundgarden might do a reunion tour. That might be sweet.

Mason Jennings - Butterfly

Yeah, my man Mason makes another earworm.

Thanks to Darrell for introducing Mr. Jennings to me.

Mason Jennings - Drinking as Religion

This morning's earworm is the very ending of this song.

"If this darkness came from light, then light can come from darkness I guess."

Age of Silence - Auditorium Of Modern Movements

I love the smell of metal early in the morning.

\m/

Simon & Garfunkle - April Come She Will

If I had half of Paul Simon's talent, I could die happy.

The Who - Wont Get Fooled Again

This video is quite kickass!

Chris Isaak - Wonder

Chris Isaak is a great singer.

Not a great guitarist.

Green Day - Walking Contradiction

I'm a fair-weather Green Day fan. There are days when I really like them and then other days when I think they are total copycat, posers.

Ratt - Round and Round

Nothing wakes me up better than 80s metal. Well, except my friend's dog waking me up at 5:45am and then peeing on me when I petted him... dumbass.

The Who - Naked Eye

It all looks fine, to the naked eye.

The Who is a late discovery for me. I really hadn't started listening to them until 2008.

Yesterday was my birthday. I got to see Caleb play a good game of baseball. He's an amazing 10 year old.

Then I got to play some volleyball with some friends and have a beer with my friend, Emily.

It was a good day.

The Monkees - I'm a Believer

I thought love was only true in fairy tales...

You know Neil Diamond composed that song.

Oh and happy birthday, me.

Simon & Garfunkle - Sounds of Silence

Hello darkness, my old friend...

I went jogging this morning with Floyd (he's a dog). And as I turned a corner Floyd ducked in front of me. Instead of running into him I tried to jump over him and the leash caught my knee and sent me sprawling.

I scraped my elbow. Floyd thought it was some fun game and gave me a lick on the chin. Dumbass.

Beck - Little One

This is off the Sea Change album, which is a great chill album by the Beck.

Willie Nelson - It's Not Supposed to be That Way

Another sad love song by my man, Willie. Unfortunately Youtube didn't have Willie's version of the song, just Waylon Jennings. And Waylon's timing is very different than Willie's.

Willie Nelson - Touch Me

I think I love Willie Nelson more than I love bacon. And I really love bacon.

AC/DC - Highway to Hell

Some Christian rock band should do a version called Highway to Heaven.

Mastodon - Colony of Birchmen

So I'm back from my camping trip. Today's earworm is very kick ass so try to contain yourself.

Willie Nelson - On The Road Again

I'm camping for the next 6 days!

Yes, I'm posting this at 5:30 in the morning.

Train - Calling All Angels

Hey Train, what's up with the acid trip video? Huh?

Ratt - Round And Round

I watched The Wrestler last night and this song was at key point in the movie. Overall the movie was kinda depressing though.

Fugazi - Strangelight

Nothing grows right.

The Dwarves - Deadly Eye

I don't know why Youtube doesn't have a video for this song. It's badass.

The Game - Lets Ride

My life would be way cooler if it was all filmed in slo-mo.

Fugazi - Five Corporations

Thanks to Darrell for getting me started on Fugazi. I wouldn't describe any of their songs as catchy. So I'm surprised I had one as an earworm.

Fugazi - Five Corporations

Thanks to Darrell for getting me started on Fugazi. I wouldn't describe any of their songs as catchy. So I'm surprised I had one as an earworm.

The Game - Let's Ride

The Game is a stupid name for a rapper.

Fuzagi - Five Corporations

Thanks to Darrell for getting me started on Fugazi. I wouldn't describe any of their songs as catchy. So I'm surprised I had one as an earworm.

Rage Against The Machine - Guerrilla Radio

This was the very first Rage song I heard. I remember thinking "Who the heck are these guys?"

Renegade - Styx

The jig is up!

I'm surprised there hasn't been a hip-hip remix of this. It's got the beat for it.

The Who - Love Ain't for Keeping

I like the acoustic on this one, adds a nice layer to the music.

Butthole Surfers - Whatever

Hey, I had a dream last night.

It didn't fit me like a glove though. :(

Jerry Goldsmith - Main Title (Star Trek: TMP Soundtrack)

Yeah...

Cat Power - Free

Cat Power has such a cool, soft voice. I dunno about her name though.

"Cat Power?" Really? I wonder how many different names she went through before deciding on that one.

"Wolf Strength? No, too obvious. Rhino Muscle? No, not subtle enough."

Queen - Princes Of The Universe

This video is epic™.

Amy Winehouse - Wake Up Alone

I like the line: "Just so I don't have to think about thinking..."

Willie Nelson - She Is Gone

The minute my mother died this song came rolling through my mind. I will always associate it with her.

Miss you, Mama.

Johnny Cash - The Streets of Laredo

Beat the drum slowly...

Queens Of The Stone Age - The Lost Art Of Keeping A Secret

Whatever you dooooooo, don't tell anyone.

Bob Dylan - It Ain`t Me Babe

This is like a reverse break-up song.

New Kid in School - The Donnas

I have never been the new kid in school.

welcome home - coheed and cambria

I go back and forth with this song. I love the guitar parts but the lead singer's voice sometimes makes me cringe.

Rage Against The Machine - Calm Like A Bomb

*head bang*

I miss Rage.

Kanye West - Amazing

This song now has a permanent loop in my head. I really like the song... Kayne, not so much.

Puddle Of Mudd - Blurry

Doesn't the lead singer kinda look like Jason Mewes?

Eminem - We Made You

I think the best part of this song is when he's dressed up like Jason Mraz.

The Long Run - The Eagles

Eagles still sound great. Kinda weird that they're all in suits, but whatever.

Kanye West - Amazing

Love the drums on this song.

Chevelle - Comfortable Liar

*headbang*

Chevelle is a pretty good, newer band. I guess. They're no Mastodon!

Willie Nelson - Rainbow Connection

I'd like to dedicate this song to my good friend, Becca, who moved out-of-town early this morning.

Have a fun adventure, Becca! See you when you get back!

The Rolling Stones - Beast Of Burden

Yeah, Stones!

Black Sabbath - Electric Funeral

Really nice recording of Sabbath here. Remember when Sabbath was the fastest, hardest band ever?

T.I. - Whatever You Like

Yeah, I'm still on the hip-hop kick.

Loverboy - Working For The Weekend

Bust out your best Chris Farley dance! Yeah!

Melodians - Rivers of Babylon

I love this song. A lot.

Metallica - Leper Messiah

I wonder where they came up with the title for this song.

"Hey guys, how about Cancer Messiah? IBS Messiah? or maybe Halitosis Messiah?"

50 Cent - In Da Club

Is 50 cross-eyed? You'd think the scientists in Dr. Dre's lab would be able to fix that.

Age of Silence - A Song For D. Incorporated

Youtube doesn't have a video of this song. Somebody fix that. Thanks.

Cypress Hill - Illusions

Trippy, yo.

This was one of those days when I had a few other songs rolling around at the same time. Including: Boston, Eminem, and Cypress Hill.

Mike Jones - Be Next 2 U

I guess I've been listening to more hip-hop lately.

Cypress Hill - What's Your Number

Cypress Hill was one of the first rap groups I really liked. I still think they're pretty awesome.

Kanye West - Heartless

So yeah, I don't like Kayne out in life. I think he's arrogent and racist. But I do like some of his music, this song included.

Maybe someday he'll grow up and be a real person.

Amy Winehouse - Love is a Losing Game

Kind of a downer here, Amy. Geez.

Lily Allen - Smile

Lily Allen is creepy.

John Butler Trio - Nowhere Fast

Thanks to Skippy for introducing JBT to me!

Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody

In case you didn't realize it. This is the greatest song of all tme ever, forever.

Saving Abel - Addicted

This song sucks. I hate nu rock.

Soulja Boy Tell`em - Kiss Me Thru The Phone

This what happens when I drive a vehicle without my iPod. Damn you Soulja Boy.

Timbaland feat. One Republic - Apologize

I dunno why this is a Timbaland song. All he does is sample saying "hay" in the back.

Nice job by One Republic though.

Sublime - Garden Grove

Pull over. There's a reason my soul's unsound.

Rage Against The Machine - Year Of Tha Boomerang

So I grip tha cannon like Fanon an pass tha shells to my classmates!

Orion - Metallica

In my opinion, this is the most badass metal song EVER.

Bob Dylan - The Times They Are A-Changin

The audio is kinda skippy on this recording but it's neat to see a young Dylan singing this classic.

Willie Nelson - Rainbow Connection

Yeah, it's Willie again. You know, someday we'll find it.

A Whole Month

Looking at my blog today I realized it has been 1 month since I posted. A lot of it had to do with PC breaking but another part of it was my mom's passing at the beginning of March.

It's been a month since her passing and yet it still feels like yesterday. Thankfully my family and friends have been very supportive. The last month has been such a unique time for me. It's just starting to feel a little bit more like normal.

There is no emotion to describe the loss of a parent. It's an odd combination of emotions and, even after a month, it's still hard to think about. While her passing was very quiet and peaceful, the days before were terrible. It was, by far, the scariest sight I've ever seen.

Willie Nelson - My Own Peculiar Way

Yup, I'm back... or my PC is back, rather. I finally spent two days and got it fixed.

Nice to wake up to this good Willie song. And Emmy Lou is nice too.

Norah Jones - Humble Me

It feels like forever since I've posted on here and so much has been going on.

First, my mom passed away on March 4th. So I was just away from everything there.

Second, my home PC has AIDS or something. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to fix it soon.

Meanwhile, my posts will continue to be intermittent. I think my 3 readers should be okay with that. =)

Willie Nelson - Rainbow Connection

I guess I'm on a Willie Nelson kick.

Willie Nelson - My Own Peculiar Way

The best part of this song is Emmy Lou Harris.

Willie Nelson - She Is Gone

I love the solos on this song. Willie has such a great style.

Amy Winehouse - Rehab

Poor Amy. She just needs a sammich.

Hustle and Flow - Its Hard Out Here for a Pimp

Speaking as a pimp, I will say it is quite hard out here.

:)

AC/DC - Sink the Pink

How awesome is this video? Seriously.

Queen - No One But You

Nice hair, Brian.

Bonnie Raitt - Let Me In

This is a fun song from Bonnie's "Takin' My Time" album. Which is a great album, by the way. You should check it out. Yeah, that's right. I'm talking to you. Go get that album. Go ahead, I'll wait.

Counting Crows - Goodnite Elizabeth

So most of the time, I don't like the Counting Crows. As I was getting ready for bed last night this song came on. And I remembered that the Crows do have a few great songs. This would be one.

No, this isn't the original music video.

Church Music

I recently had a chance to visit my folks and my mom asked me to play some of the old church music. A few of those songs were running through my head today. It's actually pretty good stuff, kinda sweet.

Amy Winehouse - Me and Mr. Jones

Pretty good live recording of Miss Winehouse here.

Sublime - Mary / Big Salty Tears

Yay for Sublime making it back into the earworm!

Willie Nelson - On The Road Again

So today I'm headed back home to Nebraska, which is an 8 hour drive. How appropriate!

Oh hey, I love Willie's little solo on this song.

Jack Johnson - Breakdown

I think in another life I was a chilled-out, song-writing surfer bum. And I lived in a little beach house on some remote town without any tourists. And I had a dog.

Pretty sure.

The Villans - Cigarettes Make Me Happy

So my buddy, Jason, got me The Villans CD for Christmas. We went to their show and I thought they were awesome!

Unfortunately, they don't have any of their songs on Youtube. But I'll put up today's lyrics just because their so great.

Cigarettes make me happy
Like Jesus Christ on Christmas time
Cigarettes make me happy
Ya ya ya ya yai!

Taj Mahal - Blues Ain´t Nothing

Nice long jam by Taj and friends!

South Park - It Happened in Sun Valley

It's from the South Park Christmas Album, which is the only Christmas album I own.

The Dwarves - Like You Want

I couldn't find a recording any better than this, but I didn't search that hard.

Thanks to Darrell for getting me started on The Dwarves!

The Villans - Gimme the Microphone

Unfortunately, The Villans don't have any YouTube videos. They're a two-man punk band local to Champaign-Urbana, IL.

Their live show was a total blast. It was nice to see some real punk in my town. None of this fake, "I shop at Spencers", my-haircut-is-punk garbage that's all over MTV. But actual, real, in-your-mom's-face punk. Awesome!

Age of Silence - The Idea Of Independence And The Reason Why It's Austere

I'll admit, when Darrell first let me borrow this CD, I didn't like them. But I didn't dismiss them immediately. Then suddenly, one day I loved them. Maybe I'm bad with first impressions.

Oasis - The Importance of being idle

I know Oasis is supposed to be a big deal. I don't really get it. I probably should curl up with a few of their old albums and make a real decision.

Ray LaMontagne - Jolene

Ray has such an amazing voice. And an amazing beard. I mean, look at it!

Alice In Chains - Man In The Box

I'm the dog that gets beat. Shove my nose in... shiz.

Soundgarden - Burden In My Hand

Today's lyrics were "I shot my love today, would you cry for me".

I actually couldn't remember what song it was. It took a little searching to remember it. I thought it was an Alice in Chains song at first, which doesnt make much sense.

Anyway, Soundgarden... awesome.

John Butler Trio - Caroline

Ignore the picture on this one. The song is great!

Cheap Trick - Hello There

Yeah! \m/

Amy Winehouse - Tears Dry On Their Own

I think this song should be re-produced. The beat is too choppy and fast. I would make the beat more consistant.

That's my two cents!

Rainbow Connection - Willie Nelson

I think I like Kermit's version better. =)

Blues Traveler - Yours

Hooray for Monday's. I realized today that snow makes me want to be really lazy. We got an inch or so this weekend and I don't want to leave the house. Even though I'm completely out of groceries.

The Who - Too Much Of Anything

This week has seriously been "too much."

Mastodon - Colony of Birchmen

I wish I could find the offical video for this song. I just remember it being really crazy and awesome.

Don't like harder metal? Try Mastodon!

Amy Winehouse - Me and Mr. Jones

I'm pretty sure Amy says "fuckery" in this song. How inventive.

Ralph Stanley - Angel Band

From the O Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack.

I still like the old time hymns. Don't let the rugged, rock exterior fool you.

Bob Dylan - Tangled Up In Blue

I barely know any Dylan music which is sad. I should know every Dylan song by heart!

Black Sabbath - War Pigs

Hello, have you met AWESOME?!!?

It was the 2nd solo that was running through my head this morning. I'd type it out but, you know, that'd be weird.



Ok, it's the part where they go: Duh-duh-dee-dee duh-duh-dee-duh...

The Presidents of the USA - Lump

I first heard this song at my very first, real job. I was building computers at a little mom-n-pop, computer dealer in Omaha, NE. One of the other techs got PUSA's CD and played it for about 3 months straight.

Is this lump out of my head? I think so.

OutKast - Hey Ya!

I got kinda burned out from this song when it first came out. Only because it was played every single hour on the hour!

For such a fun sounding song, the lyrics are pretty deep.

Devin Townsend - Hyperdrive

This is off the amazing "Ziltoid The Omniscient" album. I'm not a huge fan of metal but this album is entirely badass.

Devin Townsend is the awesome.

Black Sabbath - Iron Man

The first time I heard this song, it wasn't the Black Sabbath version.

It was the remix that Sir Mix-a-lot did. You think I'm kidding? Ask me sometime, I still remember all the lyrics.

Aerosmith - Train Kept a Rollin'

Somehow the Japanese dudes make this song even more epic.

Blues Traveler - Yours

Blues Traveler was one of the best live shows I have ever seen.

Motorhead - Ace Of Spades

How badass is this song? Seriously. How badass?

The only lame thing is the drummer is wearing a Motorhead t-shirt.

The Who - Going Mobile

I don't think this song has any hidden meaning. I'm pretty sure it's just about driving somewhere.

Amy Winehouse - Me and Mr Jones

I like how she says "fuckery". I'm gonna start using that more, fuckery.

Interstate Love Song - Stone Temple Pilots

Yeah for 90's rock! This is a great recording for a live show.

Scott's stage presence is a little weird, but that's rock and roll I guess.

Journey - Anyway You Want It

Awesome? Why, yes please!
