Blink-182 - All the Small Things (Live)

I really like this song - studio and live alike. It has a great tune, good words, and - naturally - really good drumming. I always liked this Blink-182 song, but I have to admit that it was Travis Barker playing in The Transplants that made me really go back and pay closer attention to their other songs.



Good stuff.

The Transplants - Romper Stomper

I got into the Transplants because I'm willing to give a listen to any Rancid side project. Tim, Lars, Matt, Brett, or Branden are in a band? I'm interested. The Transplants, Stomper98, Charger, The Armstrongs, The Used, the Old Firm Casuals? Turn them all up.

I think the first song I heard from them was D.J, but Romper Stomper kicks ass. Let's listen to Romper Stomper.



The whole album is worth a listen. Warning: it's loud at any volume.

King Missile - Jesus Was Way Cool

Happy Easter.

Jesus Was Way Cool

Behind the Vinyl: Gary Numan, "Cars"

Gary Numan speaking about writing "Cars."



I'll see him this Friday . . . can't wait.

Like a bat out of hell . . . Meat Loaf

In memory of Meat Loaf. I managed to see him live once, when he was 64. It was a great show.

This song is never played in my car below a VERY LOUD volume:

In memory of Mike Nesmith - The Monkees, "You Just May Be the One"

Here is a lovely song written and sung by Mike Nesmith, with The Monkees. This is from the later period where he'd exercised a lot more control over the band's material.




Here it is on the TV show, if you prefer:



Enjoy. Thanks for the music, Nez.
