My Top 5 CD's for this week.
Week five December 9 & 16, 2005

1. The VacationBand from world war zero
It's been awhile since I've seen these guys live. They put on a great show. Twin brothers, Ben and Steve (singer and guitar player) then Dutch (bass player) and Denni (drummer).
The songs are very catchy, in a good way and they know how to entertain. They have a cross between Iggy Pop and The Rolling Stones in their blood. Check their website as well as myspace. They have this really cool video that you can see called "Destitute Prostitutes". Their next gig is this Saturday Dec. 17th at Spaceland in Silverlake (Hollywood).



2.
Jon Spencer Blues Explosion - Orange

This past Saturday our crazy drunk friend Paula insisted that we take off Sirus Radio and put this CD on. It brought back good 'ol times with all of us 'Bogarts in Long Beach' regulars. Jon is always a good front man no matter what he does.


3. Big Star # 1 Record - Radio City
One of the best bands EVER!


3 is all I have for the past 2 weeks and that's not even what I was listening to really. I've been listening to crappy radio in my rented car for the past 4 weeks actually. It sucks! Sometimes Indie 103.1 plays great stuff but I can only take Jonseys voice for so long. He is annoying to say the least! Classic rock now is stuff that I was listening to as a teenager, it's all so depressing. Am I finally one of those people who say things like "When I was your age" or "I remember seeing Nirvana back in the 90's way before you were even born"....... soo depressing.

I'm sure this will be a better weekly thing just as soon as I get my life straightened out (jeep, apartment, b/f) Just thought I'd throw in the b/f for good measure.
