I have a theory that musical trends always come in twos. Grunge had Pearl Jam and Nirvana. Heavy metal had Guns N Roses and Metallica. Glam metal had Def Leppard and Bon Jovi. Nu Metal had Limp Bizkit and Korn. Boy Bands had Backstreet Boys and *Nsynce. Girl pop had Britney and Christina. The duo trend goes on and on...Tupac and Biggie, The Beatles and the Stones, Michael Jackson and

The 11 Best Linkin Park Songs
Posted on 03:03 by Unknown
On December 5th, 1994 I spent the evening standing out front of the Tower Records in Westwood, CA, waiting for the midnight release of Pearl Jam's Vitalogy. The line stretched down the block, packed with kids who could have just as easily showed up the next morning to buy the exact same album. It wasn't like we were waiting to buy concert tickets that might sell out...this album was going to

The 11 Best Non-Pumpkins Billy Corgan Songs
Posted on 23:58 by Unknown
The new Smashing Pumpkins album has been met with some trepidation. Billy Corgan is now the sole remaining original member of the group. Many critics have questioned whether one original member is enough to constitute the privilege of continuing to use the name. Billy's response is a resounding..."fuck you." Though that may seem like Billy is the one being the gigantic dick...are the

For many of you who don't know...I've two sites. It's the same blog post but just posted on two different sites. The other one is (www.goodbadunknown.com). I haven't jumped over to it because of the exhaustive amount of spam comments I get. How many you ask? About a million in the past six months. Yes, one million. So I only use it as a back up now because of these douche bag russian

The 11 Best Songs By Hot Chip
Posted on 20:54 by Unknown
Having kids changes what you can listen to. Even a band like Mars Volta might not swear as much as others but it gets hard to prog out in the car with a 3-year-old who is trying to comprehend Cedric's obtuse verbose with about as much success as a heroin addict trying to fill out a job application. You can't really listen to pop radio because most of those songs are way more R-Rated than

The 11 Best Songs By Metric
Posted on 23:42 by Unknown
We need more strong women in rock. It's a sad dirty plague of pop fraudulent sexless bombs that have permeated the airwaves for far too long. Where are the axe-grinding, glass-ceiling busting destroyers that the Runaways promised us? Courntey Love is an embarrassment. Amy Lee is a novelty at best. Sleater-Kinney kicked a bunch of hard ass like they were gun-toting truck drivers pounding

The 11 Best Songs By The Hives
Posted on 23:28 by Unknown
I don't think it's right to not talk about the ridiculous success of the ice hockey's L.A. Kings. Now that they're up 3-0 in the Stanley Cup Finals, I'm hoping that it's pretty safe to talk about their winning streak without jinxing it. Only twice has any team ever come back from a 3-0 deficit (sure, once being in hockey). But I figure at this point even if it does happen...that will at

The 11 Best Songs By Regina Spektor
Posted on 23:18 by Unknown
Sigur Ros loses out this week. Their new album (Valtari) was the album I was most excited to hear this summer season and turns it might be the biggest let down of the year. On their last album, the Icelanders took a giant step forward, crafting some of the best work of their career. Everyone thought this was a sure sign that they were headed for Radiohead-like Godness. And when I say

The 11 Best Songs By Public Image Ltd.

Yesterday I had lunch with a friend I hadn't seen and barely talked to in six years. Even though hundreds of things had happened in that span of time including how different our lives were now from then...it's was crazy how we could just sit down and seamlessly pick up where we left off.
The odds of a new PiL album being good (even being listenable) were extremely low. Especially
