I haven't listed to the Streets in I don't know how long and some reason I got that song in my head and had to give it a listen. I also like this one from them:


explicit lyric warning.

First time I heard them I chuckled as they seemed to be a cross between a British version of the Beastie Boys and... the Clash.

RIP Malcolm Young, AC/DC rhythm guitarist, older brother of Angus.

RIP to a true legend. :bow:



The Highway to Hell just got a little lonelier. :sigh:

Found this young lady while searching for female rockers

And speaking of somber-string-instrument covers, this is possibly the grandest AC/DC tribute I've ever seen:

Today I'm listening to ticking wall clocks and snoring dogs.

With all the hussle-bussle life throws at you all year I find myself blessed to be in a position where the only thing on the adgenda is nothing....

Some very fine Swedish-French-American stuff...

This one is special, at least to me...this is a video from the early '80s of Alice Cooper performing his classic "Under My Wheels." Now this isn't the loveable Uncle Alice everyone knows...this is literally crack-head Alice, missing teeth, scary thin, slowly dying from excessive abuse of crack cocaine and alcohol, with bizarre makeup that had to be inspired by Bette Davis after she got old, mean, and crazy. At first glance, it's pretty shocking to see Alice in such bad health both physically and apparently mentally, but after watching this video a bunch of times, and I think it may be his greatest performance! If you can get past the crazy expressions, freaky body movements, etc, and just focus on the actual music, you'll likely see one riveting performance! His voice sounds great, the band sounds great...I mean, they kick ***! Alice always has had a great band. I pretty much guarantee that Alice sat in front of the mirror trying different crazy make-up and then making faces to figure out the most crazy expressions to use on stage...and it was very effective. And if you question whether he's on crack, watch the interview videos from this same show.

This is the only time in his career Alice was actually scary as hell! Anyway, try to give it a chance and watch it a couple of times and especially watch him closely...I wish they never taken the camera off of him! After watching it ask yourself this question, "Have I ever seen a music video with a guy sitting the entire song, that was more entertaining than he is in this video?" I doubt it, LOL!

BTW this song was originally recorded by Candi Staton, not Florence and the Machine....it was also remixed and covered numerous times (including by Joss Stone).
