Eagles Of Death Metal


Now look it baby, you're just nineteen!
You got the flesh, That's gonna make me hot!

I love this album. I just listened to it again this morning for the first time in months and I remembered just how ridiculously awesome it is. If you are lame and do not listen to Eagles Of Death Metal (super lame), they are a stoner-y garage rock band from California with Josh Homme of Kyuss and Queens Of The Stone Age fame. Don't expect this (their second full-length) to sound like either of those bands though, because it doesn't. This is just no nonsense, balls-out, jangly, good-time, dirty rock music. The dirtiest. This is probably one the most fun records I own, and anyone should enjoy it.

By the way, if you wondering about the band's name, it came from when they were trying to get Josh Homme into death metal and played him some Vader. (I should probably upload some Vader, they are awesome and probably my favourite DM band) Anyway, Josh Homme said that Vader were kind of like "The Eagles of Death Metal". Josh Homme was then challenged to make an album that sounded like The Eagles crossed with death metal, and the band's first full-length was the result. The More You Know!

Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger




Artist: Soundgarden
Album: Badmotorfinger
Genre: Grunge, Alternative Rock
Unofficial Soundgarden Page: http://web.stargate.net/soundgarden/

Soundgarden's
Badmotorfinger is by far my favorite grunge album. The tracks are all heavy and mellow at the same time. The guitars are heavy at some points, calm at another section. All the while, Chris Cornell's ever-distinctive vocals wail over the background music. There is no specific notable track on this album, because of them are pure bliss. This is the definitive album of Soundgarden's catalog.

Tracklist:
1. Rusty Cage (4:26)
2. Outshined (5:11)
3. Slaves And Bulldozers (6:56)
4. Jesus Christ Pose (5:51)
5. Face Pollution (2:24)
6. Somewhere (4:21)
7. Searching With My Good Eye Closed (6:31)
8. Room A Thousand Years Wide (4:06)
9. Mind Riot (4:49)
10. Drawing Flies (2:25)
11. Holy Water (5:07)
12. New Damage (5:40)

Pearl Jam

Jeremy spoke in class today

Since this week is Grunge week, I'm posting my favourite album to emerge from Seattle's grunge scene.

Pearl Jam managed to fit into a corner of the Grunge scene that appealed more to the mainstream rock listener, they weren't raw and punk-influenced as Nirvana and aren't as metal-influence as Alice In Chains, they tended more towards a classic rock sound. Ten was never as popular as Nevermind or Dirt, but it still influences alternative rock bands today.



Artist: Pearl Jam
Album: Ten

1. "Once"
2. "Even Flow"
3. "Alive"

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

And I kissed her goodbye, I said, "All beauty must die"
And lent down and planted a rose between her teeth

I'm sure I don't have to introduce Nick Cave, Australian singer/song-writer and influential figure of the post-punk and gothic rock scenes. He became famous with his band The Birthday Party, after which he formed Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. He is currently working with Grinderman, a garage rock band consisting of four members of The Bad Seeds.

Murder Ballads is a 1996 release by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. The album consists of several songs about the details and consequences of murders. Murder Ballads was The Bad Seeds most commercially successful release, with the song Where The Wild Roses Grow gaining frequent MTV airplay.

Guest musicians present on this album include PJ Harvey, Shane MacGowan and (in a surprisingly good turn) Kylie Minogue.

This album is proper good, and beautiful at times. Be sure to give it a listen.
