Iron Butterfly - In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida

I just heard that Doug Ingle of Iron Butterfly passed away.


That's not their only song, but it's probably all you have time for right now. And by the way, what a great band name. It's right up there with Blue Cheer and Bad Religion in two-word adjective-noun band names.

FEAR - Let's Have a War

I just got tickets to see FEAR with DOA opening this summer.



Finally I'll get to see the legendary FEAR!

Subway Sect - Ambition

The keyboard riff in this song just hooks me in so hard, every single time. It's a banger.

The Five Americans - Western Union

Pure pop rock genius.

The Darkness + Ed Sheeran - Love is Only a Feeling

Back on 12/9/2023, The Darkness played in London with a fan of theirs playing as the opening act - Ed Sheeran.

What a show to go to, eh? You buy a ticket for The Darkness and see Ed Sheeran as the opening act.

Plus they played Love is Only a Feeling together, in truly excellent form:

The Darkness - Merry Christmas (Don't Let the Bells End) - Live on BBC2

Give me a D!

Give me an arkness!

Merry Christmas!

The Pogues - And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda

Rest in peace, Shane McGowan
