The Black Keys – "Too Afraid To Love You" (2010)

2011/01/29


Perhaps I missed The Black Keys on my Top 10 Albums of 2010? Such lists are all poppycock anyway. Most music is born of inspiration and emotion and can you really rank them in order? I think not.

The Troggs – "Wild Thing" (1966)

2010/08/24


I was humming this in my half awake state this morning. As a wild thing, I just can't help myself. I didn't realize it, but The Troggs only covered this song. It was originally written by "The Wild Ones" in 1965 I listened to a clip of it here and I understand why The Troggs' version was the hit.

Let's not forget about Jimi Hendrix's many covers of the song too! Here is but one:

The Black Keys – "Tighten Up" (2010)

2010/07/07


Some excellent blues rock, hot off the presses (released in May). After the Grammy Awards I had been fearful rock as dying, but as always, the real action rarely sees any awards show, and these guys give me hope.

Here is the "official video" but there is something ridiculously awesome about the dinosaur hand puppet singing and dancing to blues rock.

Gossip – "Listen Up" (2006)

2010/07/03


listen up the weekend is here
doesn't matter whether you dance
or sit back and open a beer
good times for you given the chance

…oh and those aren't song lyrics, just a little poem I wrote to celebrate the long weekend! The bass in this song rocks, doesn't it?

The Apples in Stereo – "Strawberryfire" (1999)

2009/09/19


I had some strawberry cream cheese on a bagel this morning, and for some reason this song, which is obviously a tribute to "Strawberry Fields Forever" by The Beatles popped into my head. It is odd, because I have strawberries all the time. There must've been something about the cream cheese. Weird …and perhaps crazy.
