I Feel So Old

Mars Needs Guitars has a listing of bands that formed in 1982... some of have come, some have gone, some are back again and some have never gone away. From the Butthole Surfers to the Art of Noise to The Smiths to Violent Femmes... where did the time go?

Smash It Up!

Like covers, I love a good mash up... and this is one: Grease vs. Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg! Hilarious.

Living In The '80s

Now one of the great things about living in La La Land is the ability to see Grant Lee Phillips every few weeks at Largo and if you've never been to his show, you should go as soon as possible.

I was selling off some CDs (free ones I seem to have collected) the other day at Amoeba and I came across this and just had to have it.

Now is it perfect? No, but I'm a sucker for 3 of the things that make up this album: the '80s; cover songs; and acoustic tunes by folks who make music I love.

Check out a few of these links and buy the album...

INDIEBLOGHEAVEN has Grant Lee doing the Psychedelic Furs "Love My Way
In House with Jeremy Peterson has LIVE versions of "Boys Don't Cry" (do I really have to tell you who did the original?) and Nick Cave's "City of Refuge"
Captain's Dead has "Wave of Mutilation"
