Dropkick Murphys - The Season's Upon Us

Merry Christmas!

I'd never describe myself as a big fan of Dropkick Murphys but I've seen them live more than a few times. That's a combination of festival shows, co-headlining with Rancid, and them just being a fantastic live show every single time.

So Merry Christmas!

Keith Levene passed away. He was a founding member of The Clash, and and a founding member (with Jah Wobble and John Lydon) of PiL.

Misfits - Last Caress

My trainer Mike decided it was high time to educate the youngsters today about music. We ended up talking about The Misfits and he played a bunch, starting with this:

Marshall Crenshaw - Cynical Girl

I heard this on the speakers at work today - there was a whole set of mid-70s to early-80s rock going on.



Marshall Crenshaw is, of course, best known as a member of (younger) Pete's band, "The Blowholes," from the Adventures of Pete & Pete epside, "A Hard Day's Pete."

RIP, The Killer

Jerry Lee Lewis passed away today.



I love a good rocking piano song. Thanks JLL.

Great track, especially live.
