- The Dwarves - "Fuck You Up and Get High" - From the EP Blood Guts and Pussy on Nov 20, 2009
The "Machine Messiah" thing got in the way--it was pretty insistent about getting written--but even as I was writing the Lasorda post, I knew that I was gonna end up writing its inevitable musical tie-in with a post about The Dwarves.Everyone loves T...
- Yes - "Machine Messiah" - From the Album Drama on Nov 15, 2009
Now here's a song that has no right to be as good as it is . . . .Don't take that the wrong way, however.I grew up with prog, fell in love with it almost as soon as I had my early teen Elton John phase out of the way. And I stayed in love with it, or...

- Hüsker Dü - " Data Control" From the Album Land Speed Record on Sep 27, 2009
Truly a song for the mp3 era 25 years before it arrived, "Data Control" is the kind of track pointed to with satisfaction by those who haven't really minded the Death of the Album: a fantastic song on an otherwise mediocre LP.Land Speed Record was ac...
- Queens of the Stone Age - "I'm Designer" from the CD Era Vulgaris on Sep 13, 2009
Like that redneck-chic T-shirt from the '70's said, the Queens of the Stone Age may not be perfect, but parts of their work are excellent.Each of their albums rock solidly, yet each undeniably has a clunker or two. And even their most kickass tunes-...
