Lifted from Echoes Silence Patience + Grace, surely the year's most nonsensical album title. Everybody has their favourite Foos album, I recommend There is Nothing Left to Lose. And it's my blog so that's that.
Biffy Clyro – Umbrella
The Ayrshire rockers' acoustic cover of that "-ella, -ella, -ella, -ay, -ay" song that people started claiming was responsible for the weather ths summer (http://www.nzherald.co.nz/topic/story.cfm?c_id=264&objectid=10452521). Off the new Radio 1 live lounge album, which is a bit hit and miss. Do I need acoustic Calvin Harris? I could live with it. Do I need acoustic Coldplay? Nah.
Rocket from the Crypt - On a Rope
'90's punk. Can't beat it with a stick. Read about the band's chequered past on Wikipedia, hit http://www.rftc.com/ and get links to LimeWire their videos (surely the oddest way for a band to put their stuff about, but it's there if you want it)
Radiohead – Videotape
www.inrainbows.com is where to go to get the new album, for "as much as you like", with this on it. Apparently 2/3 of people didn't pay anything for it (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7082627.stm). Not surprised...
Cave In – Droned + Pelican - Sirius were featured as part of a Hydrahead feature. The online version of this is the next post up the way. GO!
Jimi Hendrix - Little Wing
He's just been added to the Nashville Rock Walk of Fame (http://www.visitmusiccity.com/media/press_releases.php?id=117). And you can buy him in toy form (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Jimi-Hendrix-Ultra-Action-Figure/dp/B00005BT14). Makes anything I say seem a bit redundant.
Head Automatica - Nowhere Fast
Head Automatica, off the album Popaganda. Check out Glassjaw, frontman Daryl Palumbo's other band. http://www.glassjaw.net/ has a variety of mp3s, including live stuff, and remixes. Funky stuff.
Jose Gonzalez - Teardrop
Another cover from the Swedish acousticist. Check out the weird video at http://www.jose-gonzalez.com/, and then check out fellow Swedes The Knife (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7EYiFzNohU) whom Gonzalez covered when he did Heartbeats. The ubiquitous Sony ad with the bouncing balls featuring that track can be seen here http://youtube.com/watch?v=9NymcQJjPCs, along with a "making of..." feature.
Gallows ft Lethal Bizzle - Staring at the Rude Bois
In honour of this fine collaboration by ginger-fronted punks Gallows and irony-free grime mogul Lethal "The Bizzle" Bizzle, check out the undisputed king of "ft.", Wyclef Jean. His wikipedia entry details all of his various collaborations. There's just so many of them!
Pixies - Debaser
Pixies are good. Kurt Cobain even said so. But how much do you know about them? Take the 20 question quiz (http://www.ilovepixies.com/quiz/index.html) and find out. 8 out of 20, not good.
Bob Dylan - Subterranean Homesick Blues
It's Bob Dylan, so not much new to say about it. The "video" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-xIulyVsG8) taken from "Don't Look Now" is a classic, although it's been parodied by, like, everyone.
