Ok, so this just a bit cliche, but it works.
Have a good one folks!

Today is the day that many of us have patiently waited for…the release of Nirvana Unplugged In New York on DVD.
Of course, more than a decade later it may seem a bit hard to remember why this was a classic performance; so let’s run down some reasons why.
Let’s begin with the hype leading up to the performance. See, none of us knew what the band was going to do. There were rumours flying everywhere that there was going to be special guests, which would include possibly some members from Pearl Jam. People speculated that Eddie Vedder would show up and …read more

Radiohead frontman, Thom Yorke, told BBC 6 Music that he didn’t buy In Rainbows.
Yorke went on to say that “There wasn’t any point,” and “I just move some money from one pocket to the other.” Guitarist Ed O’Brien added that the band was so secretive about the release of In Rainbows that he didn’t even tell his wife.
Yorke also stated “Every record that we’ve done for ages has been leaked. Why not leak the bloody thing yourself?”.
In the same interview, Ed O’Brien stated that the band may kick off their world tour in the States. He also went on to praise Kings …read more

Once again I refuse to socialize and am left out of another list by fellow b5er’s. But, I’m still gonna join the fun.
This time everyone thought it would be a great idea to open up and share their guilty pleasures. Check out what they had to list here.
So, here are my top ten guilty pleasures. Now I will seclude myself in a very dark room to hide from the shame.
10. Matthew Sweet – “Girlfriend”: I actually like Matthew Sweet, but this is pop rock at it’s best. You can’t help but feel a little silly when rocking out to this.

We always need some sort of Cranberries to go with Turkey Day next week.

The Cranberries are all from outside Limerick, Ireland.
The band formed in 1990, after Noel Hogan (guitar), Mike Hogan (bass) and Fergal Lawlor met singer Dolores O’Riordon through mutual friends.
The boys original name for the band was Cranberry Saw Us.
“Linger” was the first song written by the band.
Nothing Left At All was the band’s 6 track demo tape in late 1990.
In 1991 The Cranberries inked a deal with Island Records; which is also the home of another Irish band called U2.
The band’s debut single, “Uncertain”, was met with …read more

This past Monday, November 12, I checked out Bright Eyes at the Grand Opera House in Wilmington, DE.
It was a pretty awesome show. The Grand Opera House is just a splendid venue. I would love to catch another show there in the future.
The main man in the band, Conor Oberst, kept reminding the crowd that this was the band’s first time in Delaware and that if they played Hawaii, then they would have played all fifty states in this “beautiful, but sick country”.
If you ever have a chance to check out Bright Eyes you should. The band sounded great live …read more

What a kick ass song!
“Volcano Girls” was on Veruca Salt’s 1997 album Eight Arms to Hold You and would also be used as the opening track for the 1999 flick Jawbreaker.
So, why does this song kick so much ass?
How about awesome vocals by Nina Gordon, some killer guitar work by Louise Post, a reference to the Beatles’ tune “Glass Onion” and the fact that Nina Gordon and Louise Post are hot.
And, let’s not forget the video…

AIC released this essential EP back on January 25, 1994.
A lot of people mention 1992’s Dirt as the band’s most definitive album; but Jar of Flies showed us how talented and wonderful AIC were. All seven tracks are so perfectly written and performed, that it left us screaming for more.
That’s why it was no shocker that Jar of Flies hit the number one spot on the Billboard U.S. Chart. The public knew how good this music was.
If you don’t have a copy of Jar of Flies then you’re doing yourself a huge disservice. Seriously, go out or online and snag a copy; you …read more
