Rich Zweiback: April 24, 2011

One supposes that in a perfect world, the need for maggots like Trump and Lady Gaga to be uber-dominant media icons would be unneeded.

  1. Suck

    Light hearted rock n roll Vampire flick. Any movie that has Henry Rollins, Iggy, Alice Cooper AND Alex Lifeson in roles is OK in my book.
    Bonus points for Malcolm McDowell portraying a vampire hunter named “Eddie Van Helsing”

  2. Neil Young & Crazy HorseWeld
    Recorded during the first Gulf War, this live album was also inspired by the openers on the tour: Social Distortion and Sonic Youth. Punk fucking rock by the world’s greatest garage band.
  3. Foo Fighters – “Walk”
    Their next classic toon. 4 chords. Perfect.
  4. The RezillosCan’t Stand The Rezillos
    Those bass lines are amazing. Thanks to Jeffen at Music Ruined My Life for the features on The Rezillos, Revillos and Shake these past couple of weeks.
  5. Big StarKeep Your Eye On The Sky
    Indispensable collection. Power pop 101.
  6. Orchestral Maneuvers In The Dark – Best Of
    No, not really. Aside for “Electricity” and “Enola Gay”, pure 80’s synth crap. Did we ever really like this stuff?????
  7. Hot TunaSteady As She Goes
    Proof that old men can still play the blues.
  8. Mike Watt
    Ultra bass boy alternates between his own Hyphenated Man mini opera tour and Stooges’ Ron Ashton tribute. Much respect!
  9. *Steve Miller Band” – Let Your Hair Down
    Old once-bluesman takes the easy way out with versions of classic blues songs done much better by others.
  10. “Go Fuck Yourself”
    In my perfect world, this phrase would get a lot more use by politicians, media figures, etc. For example: President Obama to the Republikkkan Congress: “Hey guys, go fuck yourselves”
