beware the MP3s, my friend - the jaws that bite, the claws that catch!

[cpolk]

Dread Zeppelin - Shaft
Though their version is called "Biff."

Deftones - The Chauffeur
I don't like the Deftones. But I love their covers. What's that about?

Reel Big Fish - Hungry Like the Wolf
This cover's great. If you haven't heard it, you gotta.



The White Stripes - Why Can't you be Nicer to Me
Air guitar to it. Dance to it. Just nod your head like you agree, or something. Southern Rock flavor, in the garage out back with the doors open in the middle of the night.

The White Stripes - The Hardest Button to Button
It reminds me of how I found this dude's house by pausing over a mile away and just listening, perfectly still, trying to catch exactly where that guitar was coming from. the night was warm and nearly sticky, like somebody'd poured tequila and Labatt Wildcat all over it, and the base line felt like it was shaking right out of the ground - not walking or running or grooving, but pounding down like the heartbeat of somebody who just finished having sex and for god sake where did that half bottle of Wildcat go, this is hot and dirty work.

The White Stripes - Fell in Love With a Girl There's only one thing you yell if you're the guy living across the back alley from the band grinding this guitar and crashing those cymbals in get back to punk rock style -

TURN THAT SHIT DOWN!

and the only real reply is -

FUCK YOU!!



Devo - Girl U Want
Geek rock. Can you dig it? Love the hat.

The Smiths - Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want
Screw How Soon is Now. Put on your petulant to this.

Concrete Blonde - Bloodletting (The Vampire Song)
I used to play this song a lot, but not so much any more.



Django Reinhardt - Shout and Feel It
From the Swing Kids Soundtrack. Frantically Happy.
