Burning Beard – Clutch

Burning Beard was the song that got me hooked on Clutch. I love this stoner rock song. I don’t know if it actually is about anything but that doesn’t really matter when the entire band is so in synch, with the idea of playing heavy music. I have a bunch of other Clutch songs to [...]

Hurt – Johnny Cash

I love Johnny Cashs version of the Nine Inch Nails song Hurt. It seems to fit so well with the last years of Cashs life. Even more so when you see the video that show clips from when Cash was young. Youtube.

You Dress Up For Armageddon – The Hives

Awesome song by what’s currently my favourite live band. youtube. 

If I Used To Love You – Daniel Lemma

A friend of mine introduced me to Daniel Lemma after she’d heard this song in a movie. This is a great soul track by Swedish singer-songwriter Daniel Lemma. Sounds quite alot like Otis Reading, which is a good thing. Youtube.

By The Grace Of God – The Hellacopters

After seeing The Hellacopters at Where The Action Is, with their old bandmate Dregen for the encore, I’ve rediscovered the awesometastic song By the grace of god. Youtube. A superb riff by Strängen.

Man Next Door – Massive Attack

A sweet mix of trip hop and reggae. There’s even a little Zep in there. Youtube.

Peanuts – The Police

A song from when The Police were still doing punk rock songs. Look at Copeland banging those poor drums. Youtube. A song I definitely agree with, even though I would have aimed the criticism at the tabloids, not at the celebrities.
“Don’t wanna hear about the drugs you’re taking! Don’t wanna read about the love you’re making!”

Offend In Every Way – The White Stripes

This song was my anthem the summer of 2002. Listened to it probably every day when I biked to and from work. To me the song is about the first meeting with the parents of your girlfriend. I guess that’s what’s good about vague lyrics like these, you can apply them to your own situations [...]

In The Sign Of the Octopus – The Hellacopters

Here we go with the next Hellacopters song on the blog. A cover of the Swedish rock band The Robots song in The Sign Of The Octopus. They’re going back a step to more heavy riffs and it’s all good! Youtube.
What the heck, I’ll throw in a live taping of the original song too.

Behind Blue Eyes – The Who

England, a country with a seemingly endless supply of great 70’s rock! Today it’s time for The Who and their song Behind Blue Eyes. Youtube. Pete Townshends guitar sounds brilliant!
Get on with it!
