Life is not about the second chances. It's about a little mouse and his voyage to an exciting new land. That, my friend, is what life is.

Sir, do you have any Warrants?
I got their first CD, but you can't have it, motherfucker!

Curiosity strikes again: checking out some songs I've never heard by artists I of course know of...

This is, total honesty, the very first time I've ever heard Fergie's "London Bridge." I swear. It's pretty damn shocking. But, after something as how the hell could they? as "Clumsy" (maybe this one bothers me more because I actually know "Girl Can't Help It") and "Here I Come" (which of course completely rips off The Temptations' "Get Ready"), I have to say- I like this. And I already liked Gwen's "Hollaback Girl" but this just puts that to shame. This is pure audio sleaze. Perfect trash. Utterly glorious in every way. I'm giving it the full:




If there's a right way to rip-off another song, assuming this sounds like an exact copy, this is the right way to do it.

I also decided to check out what Icona Pop and Lorde have done after their big hits. Lorde's sound really rides that chilly laidback samesongy "Royals," the best of which being "Glory and Gore." Icona Pop I wish I could say nicer things about, but they really just SCREAM on every song they do. With one exception, the pretty good "Just Another Night."

Of my discoveries, Fergie's beautiful "Finally" and nasty-amazing "London Bridge" are the standouts.
Well, I got so burned out on the road
Too many fags, too much blow
And then Mick and I split up and I said,
"Kid, it's time to take a little bit of a hiatus."
So I got myself a gig at the coffee shop
and I love it.
Why don't you take that corner booth,
I'll take your order in a minute...

Electric Wizard- "Saturnine"

Not sure if this is their best, but I come back to it as much as Dopethrone, which is telling.

Kongos - "Come With Me Now"

Crazy to think that this is already three years old, yet is just now getting noticed by people (don't think anybody in the States even knew about it until just a few months ago, myself included). Cool as heck though.

Esquerita- "I Got a Lot to Learn"

Apparently, he was a big influence on Little Richard, and I can totally see it.

My new musical crack:

Kylie Minogue - "Les Sex"

Her new album sounds ehhhh to me. But... this song...
Well, I got so burned out on the road
Too many fags, too much blow
And then Mick and I split up and I said,
"Kid, it's time to take a little bit of a hiatus."
So I got myself a gig at the coffee shop
and I love it.

T.O.M.B.- "Maz OV Tha Damd"

Damn fine noise. Still not an every day thing for me.

Like 2 years after someone on this board posted it, finally I'm rockin' Marina & the Diamonds' "Oh No!"

Yes, I underrated it.
