I may be the only person who prefers the original version of The Bravery's Sun and the Moon to the new re-produced ultra uber spectacular polished tight-fitting version. To me the first version sounded more natural...more like the band's first album. The new "glitter" version sounds like the dorky guy in math class who keeps offering to do the prom queen's homework. You want to say "Stop it!..

The 111 Best Tom Petty Songs
Posted on 20:26 by Unknown
When an American icon comes along with a new album...narrowing his career down to eleven songs isn't just a difficult task...it's an insult. Petty belongs with the greats. Time and time again he has stood up to the record companies and won. Not just once...but many times. He is everything that rock n roll was and everything it should be. He has stood for artists' rights...he has stood against

So if you haven't checked out our store...please do so now...lots to choose from. It's not a bad deal...you're getting a ultra rare disc of Weezer material...a full length album at a great price...and you feel good for supporting the

The Unknown: Weezer's Black & White Album (Disc Black)
Posted on 15:38 by Unknown
I know no ever reads this stuff...but I'm hoping today I'm wrong. What I've posted today is disc one of a 2-disc compilation. In order to get disc 2...I need all my readers to go out and support the artists. As much as I love blogging...it's not free. It's costly to host the files and have my own domain....just turn on all you audiofiles to great new music. So below is a link to a bunch of

The Unknown: Weezer - The Grey Album
Posted on 08:33 by Unknown
As most of you discovered...the Purple album is ficitional. It's just a collection of B-sides. But what I've realized over the years is that when you have a bunch of B-sides from a particular band...you barely listen to them. This was especially true when CDs were the primary listening mode. Less so on itunes...but still...I always put on an album first. So, I discovered, when I put B-sides

The 11 Best Songs By Weezer
Posted on 19:36 by Unknown
I have a theory about friendships. There are two types of friends in our lives: priority friends and obligation friends. Priority friends are the friends you want to hang out with. Obligation friends are the friends you feel obligated to hang out with. (Technically, there's a third category..."new friends"...but this category goes away after the 10th time hanging out with someone)For example

The 11 Best songs By Strokes Members
Posted on 20:25 by Unknown
Last week, Julian Casablancas became the 4th strokes member (come on Valensi...show some hustle) to release a solo album in the hiatus between Strokes album #3 & #4. It's now official...the individual members of the Strokes have released more material on their own...then they have with the band as a whole. But here's the big question? Is it any good? or should they get back to the studio and

The Unknown: Weezer - The Purple Album
Posted on 22:25 by Unknown
I have always been obsessed with bonus tracks...b-sides...and the rare compilation inclusions. Finding these songs was like finding a secret piece of a band that most people didn't know about. It created a personal attachment to a band...even if they were popular. Owning "Even in His Youth" made you cooler than everyone who owned "Nevermind." Owning "Burro" gave you street cred over those who

The 11 Best Krist Novoselic Songs (post-Nirvana)
Posted on 04:00 by Unknown
Okay Nirvana week wouldn't be Nirvana week if all three members (sorry Chad) didn't get some of the spotlight. And we're forgetting one of the most important members, bassist Krist Novoselic. Krist has had no where near the success that Dave has had in his post-Nirvana career...but that doesn't negate his importance while in the band. Come As You Are would not be the hit it was if Krist

The Unknown: The Foo Fighters - Pocketwatch Demos
Posted on 16:21 by Unknown
As Nirvana week continues, I was priming to do a selection of demos...but then I realized that not only is there a big faction of Nirvana I should be talking about but a whole other Nirvana release this week that is also being neglected. And that's the Foo Fighters. This week, the Foos release their Greatest Hits. Without Nirvana, there would never be a Foo...let alone a Greatest Hits. What a

The 11 Best Nirvana Covers (you've never heard)
Posted on 21:11 by Unknown
With this being Nirvana week...I wanted to try and do something special.Typically, I would do a "best of" list. But that's been done to death. Or I would do a B-sides list. But again...most of those have been released. So what would be a unique list that might get everyone salivating? Obviously unreleased material is always at the top of everyone's list. Now I could do a list of original songs

The Unknown: Nirvana at The Off Ramp 1990 2
Posted on 10:37 by Unknown
I grew up listening to Nirvana. From an indie rock band to the biggest band of the decade. I owned everything they ever put out. I never thought Kurt Cobain was a voice of a generation...he was the scream of our generation. So for today...here's a little bit about myself.Here are the 11 Biggest Nirvana Moments of my Life:1. Attending to the 1992 MTV Music Awards and watching Krist hit himself in

The Unknown: Nirvana at The Off Ramp 1990
Posted on 23:36 by Unknown
There's not 1...not 2...but 3 Nirvana-related releases this week. Nirvana's epic performance at the Reading Festival (which comes out on both CD and DVD). Nirvana's 20th anniversary re-issue of their debut album Bleach (which includes a full concert from 1989). And...the Foo Fighters greatest hits. The three releases make for an interesting retrospective on the career of the band...from its

The 11 Best Songs By The Frames
Posted on 19:37 by Unknown
Tomorrow will start Nirvana week...but for the next few hours we still have one more of last week's releases to talk about...The Swell Season. For those of you who may be unfamiliar...The Swell Season is the duo from the movie Once who won the Oscar for best original song and then got cut off during their acceptance speech because the show needed more time for a video montage of set

The 11 Best Songs By Creed
Posted on 15:10 by Unknown
I know what you're thinking...why am I doing a list for Creed? Why would I even waste my time? But love them or hate them...Creed has been one of the few rock successes over the past few years. Whether it's deserved or it's because there isn't any other great rock music out there is definitely a question to be asking...unless your asking Scott Stapp...then that's just going to get you a punch
