The Fantablous Friday Five!

Its Friday again! It's kind of cold here, but I'm still going to do the Friday Five that I always do. I picked the best songs that I found this week, and the ones that have been stuck in my head for the week too. I should be blogging more this week because I have it off, so keep checking back often. I'm planing to do some essays on All ages shows, what I buy at my next CD/Record buying trip and one more that I'm not going to tell you about yet :). Hope you enjoy.

Stick around, my Ari Up/Slits tribute is coming soon.

PJ Harvey & John Parish - April. I always pay this song when it is raining for some reason.  If you haven't picked up "A woman walked by" yet, go buy it this weekend. You won't  be disappointed, I know those PJ fans wont. Think of it as a hold-over album for the next PJ album.


Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Diamond Sea. This is one of the best, if not the best Sonic Youth covers I have heard, and you can trust me on this, I love my Sonic Youth. I honestly thought that it would be kind of bad like their cover of Hyperballad, but it wasn't! They did what good covers should do, re-work the song, but keep the spirit of the original.


Extra! Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Pin. This is from "Top of the Pops" and I like it. One of the better live ones I've seen (official video here. I like the animation). By the way, where did Karen's scarf go? (Or, if you want to see some security guards ruin the fun follow this link)


The Vandals - Anarchy Burger.  I wonder if an Anarchy Burger is like a veggie burger. (haha, bad joke)


Drive like Jehu- If it kills you. I love to sing/shout this when I'm mad, or even when I'm not mad. Crazy Bassline. Somewhat long 7:49, but you love good music right?


Extra!
Drive Like Jehu- Do you compute. Its 9 minutes and 24 secongs, but that is why its an extra :)


Classic Sleater Kinney
- The Drama That You've Been Craving. This is from '97! Holy crap! That was a long time ago, but it feels like yesterday right? Add on +5 cool points for this being at CBGB's.

Friday Five! Fantastic!

I'm not doing anything special today. Just pulling 5 songs that I think you all will enjoy listening too. If I'm not lazy I'll have 2 new album reviews of my resent purchases.  I'm still waiting on that mail order album (why did I have to save money?) so I'll get that post to you all when I get my album. So enjoy today's Friday Five. I go from mellow, to exciting, back to mellow, and then end with a bang. It's worth it though. Trust me :)

Bonnie Pink It's Gonna Rain
Who cares if its in Japanese? This is an AWESOME song.


Extra! Bonnie Pink Heven's Kitchen
I thought it over, and I just couln't post one Bonnie Pink song. This one is great too, and is now stuck in my head. I'm sure it will be in yours too.



The Vandals- Pirates life


Circle - Siouxsie And The Banshees w/Robert Smith
This is from the Play at Home movie/music video. I highly reccmend this. Watch it, it's trippy :) Can you find Robbert?


Yeah Yeah Yeah's - Dragon Queen.
Keep "Its Blitz" away from me, I will dance to the whole album. (yeah, I did once... I"m glad no one was around) Um, Does this sound like another song to you? I can't put my finger on it, but oh well...


X-Ray Spex - I am a Cliche
I'm kind of like Poly Stirine. She had braces, I had braces...
