Courtney Love: The Original Hot Mess

Yes, Britney shaved her head. And yes, Lindsay went lesbo. But none compare to the original and most crazy bitch, Courtney Love.

Here, she crashes an Mtv interview with Madonna






Here she is at that same award show, lying on the ground.... again

ALLMAN BROTHERS

So on Saturday I went to see the Allman Brothers Band at the Beacon Theater in New York. As you know if you know me, Duane Allman is my favorite guitarist ever. As you know if you know anything, he's also dead. So I obviously wasn't expecting too much from the remaining Allman, Gregg (yes I'm sure it has 2 g's), as I knew that in the 40 years since Duane's death, Gregg did not have the musical prowess to learn slide guitar up to par with his brother. However, I was pleasantly surprised by a young man named Derek Trucks, whom I have affectionately nicknamed faux-Duane, and who was also the best live guitarist I've ever seen. It is my suggestion that you listen to the songs I'm posting, as well as obtaining the album At Fillmore East, as it is the bomb-diggity. It is also extremely difficult to find good quality videos of the band with Duane, as he died in 1971.

ELVIS COSTELLO

Just a quickie post,
I just found out one of my favorites, Elvis Costello, is playing at Gathering of the Vibes, a music festival I'm going to this summer. This is the best Elvis video

Pump It Up:

Elvis is a truly fantastic dancer

Dawes + Deer Tick = Middle Brother

Just saw Dawes, Deer Tick, and their melded supergroup Middle Brother at the Paradise Rock Club. It was fantastic. This is the kind of math equation I like.

When My Time Comes- Dawes

These Old Shoes- Deer Tick

Me Me Me- Middle Brother

ADELE OBSESSION WEEK

Ok so, if you guys didn't know, Adele's new album, 21, came out last month. And I've been listening to it.
And it's amazing. So, asserting my power to influence you over the internets, here's my favorite tracks from the album. Listen to them, and be awed.

Rolling in the Deep:




Someone Like You:




And as much as I love The Cure, their covers are always so much better than their originals (eg Dinosaur Jr, Jack Off Jill, Superchunk)
Lovesong:





So, in conclusion, Adele is amazing, The Cure is amazing, and covers of The Cure are amazing.
