Romeo Had Juliette cover...Nice! I like it a lot. 7/10.

This song is not for everyone. It has some minor swears (the title is just what you think it would be) but damn, it makes me happy!

Calls himself the MVP of the MPC, he's a monster on those pads. Used to work with Dipset, recently its more electronic stuff.

Oh, that's good. 8/10

This Aussie band has, I believe, 4 albums, and every song is about beards.

The Beards! I may have snorted a few times. I do enjoy a good novelty song and this fit the bill. 6/10

This just hit and after a couple of listens, I'm digging it.

LOL.

This seems like the appropriate place - - and that is a good segué - - to make everyone aware that this coming Monday, August 24 is International Strange Music Day.

https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/international-strange-music-day/
International Strange Music Day was created by Patrick Grant, a New York City musician. The premise is simple: to get people to play and listen to types of music they have never experienced before. The ‘strange’ part can mean either unfamiliar or bizarre – the choice is entirely yours. Patrick believes broadening people’s musical spectrums can also change the way we look at other aspects of life – his mantra is ‘listening without prejudice’.

Four albums of songs about beards would seem to qualify!
:)

LOL! My son said essentially the same thing when he heard/watched those videos.
Though he wasn't as amused as I was at the idea of a band playing only beard-themed songs.

The Dead Weather - I feel Love (Every Million Miles)
8/10 - - sort of a retro 90's girl band sound, reminded me a bit of a slightly edgier, blusier Heart. I liked the way it changed tempo a couple of times, yet maintained its integrity. Good song.

That's one of the things I enjoy about him, is the disconnect between his very mild demeanor and the raucous music he plays. He was the guitarist for a groundbreaking hard-core punk band, Husker Du, as well as the lead singer and voice for Sugar in the 90s.

that mention of Husker Dü took me back to my wilder days as a bit of a bar band groupie, and this was one of my favorite bands - - and it makes me happy that she's still doing her thing!

Vanessa Davis...5/10. Nothing that grabbed me.

This, on the other hand...

Gonna go catch the Alvin Brothers at The Stateroom on Friday night.

9/10!

If you like Dave Alvin, do you know the Pleasure Barons? Dave Alvin, Mojo Nixon, and Country Dick Montana. Shortlived band, never released anything official, but...

Twas a solid song. It will be granted a 6 out 10 possible stars by yours truly.

Hafdis Huld - 6/10. Maybe I'll come back to it later, when I'm more awake, but it didn't really grab me right now.

This video makes me smile every time I watch it.

The Darkness...The video was much better than the song. The song reminded me of a half-assed early MTV song. 4/10

I have not heard the original of this song. It's not that I don't like Ms. Swift, I just hate paying the asking price for her album, but I would pay pretty much anything Ryan Adams wants to charge:

I survived Austin City Limits. Fun event this year! The best up-and-coming band I saw was a Houston band actually. See below!

S'ok. Didn't turn me on. 6/10 - they are obviously talented, just not what I want right now.

What I WANT is a fantastic assembly of angry people paying tribute to a great songwriter. Like, say, this.

London Calling by an assortment of heavy hitters

4/10
I LOVED The Clash back in the day (still do), and while this wasn't one of my most favorite of their songs, I liked it a lot. But sorry, not this version - it sounds totally muddied up. Just a bunch of guys shouting their throats raw, that's what it sounds like to me, and the part where they're jamming just sounds like the worst of bad garage bands. The video is just a little too frantic for my tastes


here's an OLD classic, and watch the video - I'm curious to know what y'all think

I find it hard to believe that the performance and the dancing weren't just spliced together randomly. That's a whiter audience that you'd see at BYU...

That said. Hooker. Man, classic. 8/10, and only that low because I couldn't stop laughing at those kids.

Here's a guy I've gotten into a lot lately (I might have shared this here before). Simply one of the greatest instrumentalists of all time. I feel kind of sorry for the guys who have to try to keep up:
