Bluesy Tuesday

Long Train Running/Doobie Brothers  (Gotta love the 'loooooooooove' in the 9th bar.)

Should I Stay Or Should I Go/The Clash  (Brits nailing the 12-bar blues. Priceless.)

Some Day The Sun Won't Shine For You/Jethro Tull  (The vocals hit the spot, blueswise.)

Great Albums (Move Like This/Cars)

Year : 2011

2011 is turning into the year of the veterans. Tom Petty, Foo Fighters, Stevie Nicks and Ray Davies have all released albums this year, but "Move Like This" by The Cars takes the cake. Their first album in 24 years, it sounds so awesome I've been listening to little else the past week. Synth-rock at its finest.

Personal Picks : The poignant "Soon", The club anthem "Sad Song" and the soulful "Take Another Look".

Aurora/Foo Fighters

From the same album. Gosh, I'd forgotten how good they sounded on their early albums.

Next Year/Foo Fighters

Another old favourite. The walking bassline is a brilliant touch.

Anniversary Of An Uninteresting Event/Deftones

Rediscovering this song after six years! Still sounds as awesome as it did then. I used to listen to this band all the time when I was in school.
