I’ve been really getting into pre-King of the Beach Wavves recently. I mean I liked Wavves before King, but when that LP was released, I became a superfan. But, recently I have been gaining an appreciation for the older songs beyond So Bored/No Hope Kids/ To the Dregs/Summer Goth. Thus, I present to you the Song of the Day: Weed Demon. Long live Wavves!
New Black Lips Song: Live In Savannah, GA
After a fairly extended break from touring (only a few one-off shows and festivals since April), the Black Lips played the first of two November Georgia shows last night in Savannah at the Jinx. They played a brand new song, which will probably be released on their new album due out in April 2011. I’m not a master decipherer, but it sounds like the chorus goes something like: “I’ve been looking at a new collection.” Ian has a nice solo.

Who Did it Better? Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door
Back with another edition of Who did it better? and this time I have 4 songs for you to decide from, today we are going with another Bob Dylan classic ‘Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door’ (note oddly enough the original song is not on YouTube, but I did find a nice live performance with Tom Petty to supplement it)
Next up a Guns N’ Roses cover
Third I am going to throw in a different Eric Clapton cover
Just for argument sake here is a Avril Lavigne cover
Personally I like all the cover’s (yes even Avril’s), it’s a heartfelt emotional song and all four artist has that come across. My favorite of the four though got to be Guns N’ Roses, just can’t get past Axel’s vocals on this one, but we would love to hear your thoughts!
Free Energy – Bang Pop
Great power-(bang)pop for the entire family!

Remember This Show?
Rocco’s Modern Life. It was fucking modern alright. Wow, can’t believe such a germane program would be featured on a children’s station. Gotta love the good old days.
