  1. Grifter's last 5 songs... 1.Burning by Fugazi 2. Gimme the Loot by Notorious BIG 3. Low Self Opinion by Rollins Band 4. Northern Winds by Steve Earle 5. Bottom by Tool.
  2. Lonely Shepard by Zamfir the Pan Flutist.
  3. Song to Woody by Bob Dylan (Bob Dylan's tribute to his hero Woody Guthrie) REM's Man on the Moon (Andy Kaufman) is a classic. Ingrid Bergman by Billy Bragg and Wilco Katie Bell Blue by Townes Van Zandt (A heartbreaking song from a father to his daughter knowing that his rough lifestyle will probably kill him before she grows up.) Bruce Springsteen's Bobby Jean (a farewell to guitarist and best friend Miami Steve or Sopranos fame) and to a lesser extent Terry's Song from his new album (dedicated to the recently deceased Terry McGovern) deserve mention. Shine On You Crazy Diamonds by Pink Floyd (Shockingly few people know that this is dedicated to their original lead singer Syd Barrett whose LSD habits lead to a mental breakdown.)

    Awesome Band Names

    I thought they denied that was what it stood for.

    Awesome Band Names

    My favorite band name is, has always been, and will always be: Lord Acne Elf and The White Trash Mustache Attack.
  6. War (What Is It Good For?) by Henry Rollins and Bone Thugs and Harmony... My favorite Rock Rap Collaboration outside of Faith No More and the Boo-Yah Tribe's Another Body Murdered.

  8. Tommy Gavin is the most compelling character on television.

    Happy Songs...

    I defy anyone to have a bad time while this song is playing. This song is like a nuclear bomb of happy. So what are your's?
  10. Tonight at work I put You're the Best (Around) by Joe Esposito on repeat for 6 hours.

    Just an awesome video...
  13. I watched last night and my friend Bronson informed me that Milita has a background in Gay porn... also he is equipped with a Pringles can.
  14. The Wolf Canadian Destroyer was fucking qual. I hope they start interviewing Wolf at every chance. "Wolf, what is your view on the current state of geo-politics?" "AAHHHH-WOOOOOOOOOOO!"

    Nickelback

    Wow, when you play them together like that it is actually better... but then again it still sucks. I guess it is like polishing a turd.
  16. Wow... that movie has 6 great actors in it, one of which is one his way to becoming the next Kurt Russell (Statham, in that I'll see him in almost anything no matter how shit it looks) and I still don't give a shit.

    Belief In Vocals

    That always gets me.
  18. I recommend Rollins Band and Danko Jones. Both are perfect 'fuck-on-the-floor-and-break-shit' bands.

    Belief In Vocals

    I echo the Townes love (surprise). There is a great clip from Heartworn Highways of him singing the first song he ever wrote and a pretty hard bitten old man breaking down into tears whilst listening.

    Rufus Wainwright

    I echo that sentiment. I think that Rufus is a tremendous artist, but his father Loudon has always taken the cake for me. Rufus has always taken himself a little too seriously for me. I understand an artist taking his music seriously, but when they take the focus off the music and onto themselves they cross that thin line of earnest to pretentious. I mean, Rufus' newest effort is as clear a picture of that as any. While the music within is great, Rufus does Judy is a tribute album where instead of an artist paying tribute to another artist through their work, Rufus almost seems to pay tribute to himself through another artists work.

    R.I.P Ike Turner

    RIP to the man who accidently invented distortion... He will forever be remembered for his hard hitting guitar style as well as for just hitting hard.
  22. Bad Religion... especially their cover of Silent Night considering the season.
  23. My favorite bar has Johnny Come Lately in the jukebox and, as such it has become my rally song in games of darts that start to get away from me. Also, Christmas in Washington by Earle has been getting alot of plays from me lately.
