Just in time to follow Chris! post on Pearl Jam are Weezer and AFI, bands with solid roots in the 90's, with sweet new singles that only loosely resemble the stuff that made them famous...Weezer doesn't often sound this swing-songey (their X-mas specials have the cutesy melodies, but not the snap-your-fingers beat) and I have never heard Davey Havok sing this low before. Check out both below:
Weezer
AFI
Speaking of Davey H., he was a guest at the Rise Against show I saw a month or two ago...it was awesome. They covered Minor Threat, and Davey's pipes blew Tim's (Rise Against) away:
Went to Outside Lands yesterday, surprise awesome performance was The Dead Weather, Jack White's new band. Not generally my kind of music, but it was just an awesome show. Jack plays the drums in the band, but did a guitar solo to please the crowd, and it was awesome. Plus, the singer is kind of a babe, and watching her throw herself around on stage was, by itself, enough to keep my attention.
These guys were cool too:
Other highlight: the bad religion drummer was drumming for Tenacious D which made my day.
Speaking of BR, it is the 20th anniversary of their awesome classic album No Control...here's a live version of the best track:
Someone just sent me this Girltalk song; have no idea if it's new or old. But I love the start of it...the contrast between the words in the background and foreground songs is amazing...it's hilarious because the guy made the music fit together so well but the ideas of the songs couldn't be more different.
