I imagine I'll inflict numerous hate email/comments about how wrong I am with this one. But come on...it's the Cure. Every song is great. And each person has their own relationship with this epic band. So take it with a grain of salt. And before you say...you don't know the Cure...just know...I've been listening to this band religiously since 1983. So suck on that...and yeah...I'm old.

The Unknown: The Cure's Disintegration Alternate Rarities & Disintegration Live in Dalla
Posted on 13:46 by Unknown
Not only is the Cure's Disintegration one of the best Cure album (honestly, it's really just the best). Not only is it one of the greatest alternative albums of the 80s. Not only is it one of the 10 best albums of the past 30 years. It is one of the greatest albums of all time. Don't take my word for it...even South Park agrees. And South Park doesn't like anything. If they're praising

The 11 Best Songs By Scott Weiland
Posted on 14:20 by Unknown
For six seasons, the TV show Lost survived on viewers being unable to understand the show. Being unable to see what was coming next, kept the show fresh and exciting. You never knew who would die, you never knew if they were really alive or dead, or if they were all dead the whole time! In a world of generic, same old shit, it was nice to have something that always left you guessing, even

The 11 Best Songs By Stone Temple Pilots
Posted on 22:35 by Unknown
STP was always the red-headed step-child of 90s alternative rock. When they first came out, they were belittled for being a Pearl Jam knock-off. Despite the negativity, Core was a hit. But it was their follow-up, Purple, where they stood up for themselves. That album, in my opinion, is one of the most underrated albums of the 90s. It belongs up there with the likes of Ten, Nevermind,

The 11 Best Songs By The Black Keys
Posted on 15:50 by Unknown
Today marks an epic day in my childhood memories. Both Empire Strikes Back AND Pac-Man turn 30 today. It's very hard to think of these two major institutions having such influence 30 years later...Star Wars is still as big as ever...and Pac-Man pretty much helped pave the wave for all great video games to come. If you haven't stopped by Google today. I highly suggest you do for a quick trip

Instead of commenting on something today, I'd rather share a short video with you. It's about a music collector that kicks all of our asses. If you think you own a lot of music, he has more. He has more than me. He has more than you and me...combined! Check it out.
I don't know how to imbed video cause I'm old...so here;s the link

The 11 Bad Religion Songs of the 00s
Posted on 10:15 by Unknown
When people talk about bands who survive the test of time, rarely is Bad Religion mentioned. With 4 of the 5 original members still in the band. That's unheard of. But 30 years in, the band is still cranking out much anticipated music. It's a band that doesn't get the respect it deserves. To thank its fans for 30 years of loyalty...the band is giving away a free live album celebrating their

I bought myself a new record player this weekend. I had one which fizzed out a few years ago...and never bothered to replace it. Didn't think I needed to. But after spending most of the day listening to my vinyl collection, I'm once again hooked. It is true that a brand new vinyl played on by a brand new stylus is better quality than a CD. And it's true that 90% of the people who listen to

The 11 Best Songs By Gang Starr
Posted on 18:19 by Unknown
This has been a weird year for music deaths. It seems like there's a new death every couple weeks. And it's not minor players or older musicians. Each of them has been a pivotal member of their musical legacy. Alex Chilton was Big Star. Mark Linkous was Sparklehorse. Jay Reatard was his own sound. Malcom Maclaren helped invent hip-hop. Dio had a solo career and was the other face of

The Unknown: Jack White's The Upholsters
Posted on 15:04 by Unknown
I had a discussion with my friends about the lowliness of the music industry. Many of them think that the internet is the reason for the downfall. Though I will admit it adds to the problems...I don't think it is the problem. One of the biggest problems in my opinion is that music today (popular music, that is) really sucks. Okay, some decent bands sneak through...but think about the last

The 11 Best Songs By The National
Posted on 09:47 by Unknown
I get a lot of crap from people that my lists are all wrong. But these lists are by no means definitive. They are my opinion of the best songs by a band. I listen to the entire catalogue by a band before doing a list, so the music is fresh in my head. I usually rate it on listenability, originality, how has it held up over the years. My lists change. If you look at bands that have been

Let's talk Arizona. I get the whole problem with immigration. And I'm sympathetic. I can't blame anyone for wanting to leave their 3rd world country where they are making dirt to come here and make a better life. I'd probably want (and maybe even try) to do it too. But they are "illegal" immigrants...not "sorta legal" immigrants. That's not to say our post 9-11 immigration policy is haywire

Since the break-up of Faith No More, Mike Patton has been on a recording frenzy. Since 1997, he has recorded a total of 19 albums featured as a lead singer. On top of that, he's been featured as a guest vocalist/musician/producer on an additional 50 albums. A majority of the music is largely experimental with very few returns to traditional rock. This is has caused fans to miss the good old

The Unknown: Rival Schools - Album 2
Posted on 21:36 by Unknown
After revolutionizing metal with his band Quicksand, Walter Screifels formed the band Rival School putting all the pop punk bands out there to shame. He followed it up with Walking Concert, showing bands like Arctic Monkeys and the Strokes what was up. Like Quicksand, all the bands broke up. And like Quicksand, Rivals Schools broke up leaving a complete album sitting on the shelves. The 3rd

The 11 Best Songs By The New Pornographers
Posted on 11:32 by Unknown
This morning I went for a light 5-mile jog in Los Angeles' mild 85-degree heat. Always a good time. During the run, I took a little break in the middle and walked a short portion. I found myself behind three older women who were chatting it up about Facebook. To hear their perception of Facebook was rather interesting and disturbing at the same time.
I was first quite alarmed when one woman

Car Bomb in New York, Tylenol Recall, and giant oil slick about to gobble up New Orleans, a knife-weilding maniac in Target, and the death of Lynn Redgrave...all major new stories this weekend. But it wasn't the new outlets who were have an orgasmic party with all this...it was Facebook. Every morning I awake to my hundreds of Facebook friends commenting on all the current events that are
