The Battles - My Machines (featuring Gary Numan)

Cool newer song by The Battles....with Gary Numan.

The Black Keys - Lonely Boy

If anyone actually reads this....I apologize for not blogging (I'm probably talking to myself). Work has been kicking my ass and any free time I have, I just want to be with Maggie and Molly. I need to try harder to blog because I truly do love music....I just don't know what's "cutting edge" anymore.  Blame it on being older, busy, a Dad, .....whatever.

The Black Keys own music right now.......awesome video as well!

Nirvana - Lounge Act (20th Anniversary of Nevermind)

I can't believe we just hit the 20th Anniversary of Nirvana's "Nevermind."  I feel really old now.

John William Coltrane - Afro Blue

Happy bday to the late, great John Coltrane.

R.E.M - Ages of You

The word is that R.E.M has disbanded today. It's sad news, but like all great bands, there comes a time to call it quits. I can't say enough about how great R.E.M was and it should be noted that they were the first truly successful "indie band." Thanks to Michael, Peter, Mike, and Bill.  The end of the world as we know it?.....probably not, but they will be missed.

The Church - Under The Milky Way

I heard this song while driving home tonight, and it reminded me how great the movie Donnie Darko is.

The soundtrack is perfect for the movie, and The Church song, "Under The Milky Way" is one of the best...

The Red Hot Chili Peppers - Brendan's Death Song

I broke down and bought the latest RHCP album. Guitar-God, John Frusciante left the band in 2009 and was replaced by a young guy named Josh Klinghoffer (my brother Jon and I saw him open for Jane's Addiction at a small club 2 years ago). The Peppers are definitely "adult contemporary" but they still make beautiful music. Brendan's Death Song was written for the late Brendan Mullen, a club owner who gave the Peppers a shot to open for the Bad Brains back in the day.
