Filed under Music

Guns ‘n Roses fans have been waiting years for Chinese Democracy. From this “leaked” song I think Axl should have let GnR die a good death.

Alright! New King’s X Coming

Filed under Music

XV, the latest King’s X album, comes out 05.20.08. For a taste the band has “Alright” on their MySpace page. It’s crunchy, funky, and has a great hook.
If you buy XV through the Amazon.com link below a portion of prices goes to support TAM. You know you want to; you really do.

The Black Keys’ Gritty Minimalism

Filed under Music

The Black Keys have been getting some buzz with the release of their latest album Attack & Release. Their gritty minimalism may remind you of The White Stripes. To me they’re more steeped in the blues and maintains more traditional rock song structures.
They’re not pretty to look at, but their music is solid.
Take a […]

Mike Gravel Thinks He’s the Fifth Beatle

Back in the olden days people like Mike Gravel could be odd and run for President quietly inside their own delusional world. Today, we get to watch the never ending car crash.

There’s something to be said about the “good old days.”

Mr. Big, “Green-Tinted Sixties Mind”

Filed under Music

On Mr. Big’s second album, Lean Into It, the emphasis was pop over metal. They had a smash it with “To Be With You,” but I preferred their first single off the album, “Green-Tined Sixties Mind.”

The Nike Sparq commercials did their job. I had to figure out what the edgy, funky song was. It’s Saul Williams’ “List of Demands.” Enjoy.

Leningrad Cowboys

Filed under Music

The Finish band The Leningrad Cowboys do play into the Communist Chic I loathe, but they got the Red Army Choir to help perform “Sweet Home Alabama.”

On their MySpace page you can hear versions of “California Girls” and “Yellow Submarine.”

“We Close Our Eyes”

Filed under Music

Before they hit it big on the Pretty Woman soundtrack Go West had a minor hit with “We Close Our Eyes.” It was catchy as hell even if I never got the reason the singer needed a giant wrench in the music video.

Certain CPAC webloggers should appreciate this.

Led Zeppelin Roars Back

Filed under Music

The music gods have blessed the little hunk of rock by allowing Led Zeppelin to not only reunite on stage but play up a storm:
You might think it couldn’t possibly live up to expectations, but, it transpires, the opposite is in fact true of Led Zeppelin’s first public appearance in 17 years.
They seem buoyed by […]

Led Zeppelin to Tour U.S.?

Filed under Music

Let’s see if The Cult’s Ian Astbury couldn’t keep his lips zipped:
It was one of those moments where all you can do is look at the guy next to you and wonder, “Did he really just say that?”
Is it possible that Ian Astbury, lead singer of ’80s rock powerhouse the Cult, spilled the beans on […]

“Hey, I Heard Ya Missed Us, We’re Back!”

David Lee Roth and the Van Halen brothers put their issues aside and began a sort-of reunion tour in Charlotte, NC. Reuters gave the show plenty of praise:
